But the gains from 15% ALTA vs. 14% JCW /GP aren't going to be dramatic.
Let me know if you have a specific concern or more info on what you are up to so I can help further!

Hi Adam, wondering if you guys can source a smaller Wilwood BBK to fit under 15" wheels? (Basically the 11.75" rotor with the dust-booted calipers?) The reason I ask is because the local shop here in Vancouver is the direct dealer for Alta and no one else locally really deals with Wilwood BBKs for Minis.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Sway Bar or End Link Chatter?
Alta Folks,
Great porducts, great support. My MCS is so much more fun because of you!
In the recent past I upgraded to your 22mm Sway Bar with End Links. I am okay with a bit of noise with Modifications as it is the nature of such items as they exceed the intended 'comfort' engineering. With that having been said, it seems to me that there is an excessive loudness in chatter from my MCS's back end now.
I consider myself a rather meticulous individual. In fact I remain gainfully employed because I am. Regardless I am inclined to think that perhaps I have failed in my install of theses items rather than equipment fault.
I checked and re-checked every component that was touched for the installs and am baffled at what's going on. Furthermore, I can say that navigating these forums proves to be a time consuming and numbing experience as no one ever states a specific topic and never stay on topic making finding an answer rather difficult.
Is this chatter normal? If so, what is the typical accepted db level of chatter from this type of modification from inside/outside of the vehicle? Are there known issues, fixes, or installation errors that I can do or check that will put my mind at ease?
Thank you for your time and energy!

Thanks for asking and I totally understand. In my opinion NO NOISE is the only acceptable sound level from those two mods.
Couple things to check:
1) be sure you used ALL of the grease on the rear bar. If it has been sometime, it might be time for a bit more. (PM me and I can snail mail some to you. Include your inv# please.)
2) Check that the endlinks are installed properly. It is possible to get one end the wrong way and it can then clunk, clink etc.
3) Send me a couple pics of the endlinks installed as well as the sway bar and I can point out anything that is obivously out of whack.
I am sure we can get things taken care of you to be 100% happy. Thanks again for choosing ALTA Performance!
