Yeah, I have an electric impact - amazing tool, especially when taking wheels on and off multiple times (as I did because I adjusted my alignment due to the new camber).
The sketchy part is that KW and BMW do explicitly say to not use impact guns to remove/install top nuts as it could cause the shaft to spin and damage the seals, however Vorshlag disagrees with this, and explicitly says to use it. I happen to believe Vorshlag and don't think that the shaft rotating a few times will hurt (obviously it was designed to have some play in it, otherwise it wouldn't rotate) - but if any issues come up, I'm sure KW/BMW will point their finger at you if you ever mention an impact gun. |

Well... the shaft rotates every time the steering is turned? Maybe just use the impact gun to get the nut started when undoing. Although, when tightening, once you've got the nut seated (using the tools appropriate to both the shaft and the nut), it's possible to just use a torque wrench to finish off, so a correctly set gun ought to be fine?

I can see how it could be a problem, but never seen any ill effects personally. |

If I bought MPS with intent to also add camber plates (which obviously can be done, just like KW v3), I'd be super pissed once I learned you have to add the stock dampers back on in order to actually use CPs

Just came back from Laguna Seca this weekend - new wheels+tires and CPs felt awesome! I'm running -2.8 camber up front and the turn-in ability is immense, I don't think I understeered at all (the rear usually stepped out first).

I’m thinking of getting Vorshlag CPs to pair with my MP-Coilovers. How are they holding up? Any additional noises? TIA!

I would just contact Vorshlag and have them ship you both...I honestly can't remember which size shaft I had and it may also be different for your version of the M Performance Suspension

When you figure out what you need for the Volshag's with the MP-Suspension, please post it up here.
I just ordered new wheels & tires for my toy, and suspension is next on the list! TIA-- R. |

MPS and Vorshlages
After speaking to vorshlag engineer, I told them I would be using CP's on Stock Suspension, and possibly MPS when it arrives in mid February. He explained one uses the 19mm top nut and the other the 22mm top nut. He told me he would send out both nuts with my order. Any questions call them, they answer the phone promptly, and are very helpful.

Does anyone have a picture of the top nut of an MPS install with latest Vorshlag camber plates? Mine were installed by the dealer, and have very different (2mm diff) and seemingly little thread engagement[IMG][/IMG]

Vorshlag has 3 other brass colored nuts they call" Long Reach Nuts," depending on which Strut is used. Yours appears to be one of them. The threads go down much further, even though you can't see them, they are in contact with threads. Go on Vorshlags install video to see them.
