Finally had the shocks and springs out yesterday to install the M030 kit.
Practically every component on the front end wasn't in good shape. The shaft of the shocks shakes badly, the control arm main bearing moves laterally at the joint and the control arm link ball joint was alittle loose.
And without taking out the shocks and springs, it was not possible to detect any slop in the front suspension.... I've even had a mechanic swear that my car was "perfectly" setup.
Anyway, had the M030 installed and had the failing links and control arm re-installed (have to order for parts first), wasn't expecting much since not everything is in order.
BUT, wow, what a difference there is.... suddenly the car tracks around corners like on rails (whereas before it felt like it wanted to fly into the nearest greenery).
As expected the vibration is also greatly reduced and steering feel greatly improved, but not sure about the high speed vibration yet - will test tomorrow.
