[QUOTE="PM-Performance, post: 16276876, member: 176806"] They change the suffix. I have the bolt sitting at the dealer for me today and will try. Let me tell you how much of a trainwreck this has been. I called him yesterday and was supposed to get me better spacers to fill the slack and then end of day he messages me and tells me to just tighten it and it will work. I told him that is not the fix, but I would do it to show. Sure enough tightening that like he suggested warped the base plate and the holes would not line up to the car. As you can imagine pulling apart 1/4" thick steel flange plate was fun. I got it back out pretty close and was enough to get the bolts in and tight, but that caused the one bolt to have some stress on it and I think it took some threads with it. Its in and tight, but I dont want to TQ the one back bolt as I am scared its gonna pop the threads completely. So when people tell me to just trust this stuff will work out, this is why I trust my gut feeling and not tech support sometimes. This thing was NOT right and I made this clear before even starting. PS: That bung is not centered in the hole either. We will see if it becomes an issue, but at this point I do not plan to remove the bracket unless total failure as I am scared Im gonna lose those threads. Now I gotta fight to get the arm in and tq'd with the bracket already in place instead of outside the car like most people (and the instructions state) Honestly, I feel like I should have saved some money and went with something else. I am not liking the BMR coolaid other than the fact they answer the phone and seem nice. That isnt fixing my problems though [/QUOTE]
