I made this page after discovering why I was getting noises with my B+Gs-- a problem on my part, not reusing the stock bearing ring. other than my mistake, these coilovers are holding up amazingly well, and I would recommend them to anyone.

btw, you dont ABSOLUTELY have to use the 2001 bearing ring and upper mount.. I still have them installed on my 2002 bearing ring and they're holding up just fine. but if you have the money, using the 2001 bearing ring will allow the spring cap to sit flush.

sorry if I confused anyone.
