You are going to love the Ohlins. 15-20 clicks from full soft would be a very sporty street to light track day damper settings. |

99.9% sure the Ohlins replaces the OEM washer, in the instructions it shows the OEM washer but not the Ohlins washer which makes me think they upgraded it but not the instructions.
Can someone confirm?

Although there is no negative effect if you use the OE one over the Ohlins. Okay...perhaps a very slight reduction in compression travel! |

A joint on one of the Rogue Engineering toe arms is already shot and I'd like to replace both of them with something that lasts longer (i.e. more than just 8.000 km). Alpina_B3_Lux

Yes those are the best option aside from pressing firmer bushings (Meyle or BMW Motorsport) into your OEM toe arms. The spherical bearings in the RE/HPA toe arms are shit and wear quickly; mine had play within 3 months

Yep, I'm running all three pairs of megan arms in the rear instead of the M3 upper bits and there is zero NVH, or play. Love them.

Wait, your HPA toe arms bushings where shot in 3 months? That is not what I wanted to here! Is there a better option because I can NOT run anything but adjustable.

I will get new ones, just installed upper links, guide rods and rest sway-bar. I like that Megan toe-arms are blue.
