Need help fitting STM's

[BenG]

I forgot how I fitted mine, I remember ringing Hoolio for answers

Yes you need to use loctite but only a small amount, loctite on aluminium bonds really well, I had a right job taking mine off.

BenG do you have a photo of the Compbrake STM's fitted? I'm considering getting a set soon as I think it's time for some track action!

 

[BenG]

No pics of them fitted I'm afraid, I removed them a while back now too, I just have standard mounts fitted.

Oh right Ben, how come you removed them mate?

 

[BenG]

I found them too harsh for road use, too noisy and affected the ride quality. But dont let me put you off

Agree with Ben; if my T was predominantly a road car then I'd take my stm's off - acceptable, just, for the odd trip out but ace on track.

Bunch of pussies. :wink:

Mine are staying on! However, it is my right - some say duty- to complain! If you are below 40 you can correctly be judged as "a pussy" as hoolio points out ;-)

I blame them for buggering up my wheel bearings lol... I'll be sticking them back on now the 540 is on the road...

Ha. Some of us drive our Trophy's though J. How many miles have you done since you fitted them.?

Hum. As they've been on over two years probably more than you did before you bailed. I'll admit I split my limited mileage between three cars but when I drive the T I try to drive it as close as possible to how they it should be driven and as I have said before I don't even notice how firm the ride is these days.

Anymore for anymore? :wink:

Also I've always said that for day to day use most would find them harsh and that I would advise people to try the non invasive Combrake before they go drilling the turrets to fit the better MF/AST/K-tec.

 

[trophy380]

Does anyone have any images of STM's in place? I'm quite interested in putting some on. I can't really decide which one's to go for out of the AST's, Compbrake or K-tech one's, any ideas? I've heard you can adjust the camber with the AST's but I'm not sure if this is true?

 

[eljeffo64]

There's already a post somewhere with my Ktec ones fitted - easy to do, and well made - not for pussies though

 

[trophy380]

lol

Thats the answer I was expecting :lol:

I am officially a pussy !
