H&R VTF issue
Hey guys I had H&R VTf's installed about a month ago or so but I rarely drive my F85. After it was installed on full lock I heard a single bang which occurred a few times. Spoke to my installer and they said that what they see is that the spring is turning on itself when on full lock. Didn't hear the sound since then.
Yesterday, I took the car to the dealership to replace the brake sensor since it fried and when leaving I began to hear the. Lose again. Dealer took a look at it and said the same thing. They said it shouldn't be a problem as long as I can live with the sound, but I don't think I can live with my suspension making noises. It sounds like the spring is going to pop! Anyone else have this issue? |

I had a customer who had that issue.
I sent H&R the video of the spring binding, and they couldn't figure out why. I told them that my suspicion was that they change the spring spacer between main spring and helper spring to plastic instead of solid fiber glass piece. The plastic spacer doesn't slide as easy as the fiber glass piece when the spring twist during a full turn. But, they don't buy it. Customer swap to Eibach at the end and I sent the VTF back to H&R. So, there is solution pretty much. It start happening on the later batch when H&R changed the spring spacer material.

Just need to do some research. Been trying to do that, but you know me. Lots of things on my plate. Others just milking from my information and not even helping out. Haha.

Can you measure what is the Inner Diameter and Outter Diameter of that plastic ring?
I saw Swift make 3 different sizes.
