Well, it's home and boy oh boy does it feel tight as a drum ????????
It's firmer than the Sachs/Eibach combo; but not stupidly - you still feel the bumps, lumps and potholes as I did before, but there's no 'crashyness' over them; it just rides over them now
Sachs 764 Pressure Plate & Sachs 098 Friction Disc paired with a DMFW is what is colloquially referred to as the Sachs 2.5 "kit". ( it's not an actual "kit" but it's a time honored upgrade for 550+ hp Porsche 996 TT.
I've run stock Sachs also with an unsprung GT2 disc. But my car at 550/575 whp likes this setup ^.
I'm on my 3rd clutch = 17+ years.
Got a suggestion from one of the local service technicians, to go for SACHS brand clutch kit.
Sachs and bilstein is good as well. They are the OE brands for shock absorbers
Sachs shocks with Eibach pro-kit springs all round - if your E39 is a petrol straight 6, you need Sachs 556834 front and Sachs 170857 rears with the relevant Eibach pro-kit springs for your engine
I have a Lexus and just paid 350$ just for the Sachs shocks and replacement items, and still have to do the work myself.
I changed everything in my suspension, including new shocks and front springs. Compared to what it was it was a huge improvement. I used Sachs shocks (m sport).
I also put MK2 Scirocco sway bars on her car, front and rear, and with Sachs struts all the way around, it handled and rode fantastic.
The factory Sachs struts are also pretty good. Not sure if the M-Sport got different shocks from the regular sport, but all that's left anymore from Sachs are sport struts. Unfortunately for those of us without the sport package it makes shock replacement a pain, since their resting position is shorter than stock, and makes them shorter than the spring. I never want to do that repair ever again.
I have this creaking noise since I installed new Sachs shocks & top mounts. \nIt's dead silent on sunny days or when the temperature outside is above 15c. \nAny ideas since the mechanic says it's just bad quality rubber on top mounts and the only solution is to go with a Lemforder top mount.
