Who do we like for trac-spec FCABS these days?

Have to be very careful when pressing these in. If it goes in the least bit crooked the bearing is going to bind and result in a popping noise.

If it’s popping then it wasn’t pressed in straight. It’s harder than you think. Really have to use a press on a stand.

I used a member by the name of TheFly to press them into OE lolipops. He did a bunch of them, I believe he used a hydraulic press.

I also used a hydraulic press. Both were just fine when cold. The passenger side one only popped once the car warmed up and the exhaust heated it.

I think the only options worth considering are, in order of harshness...
Stock (trouble free, reasonable service life, silent, soft)
Rouge engineering (trouble free, reasonable service life, not solid)
Turner monoball (best design but seems to have very hit and miss build quality-- noisy for many, but not all... and the noise is from fitment slop, not the monoball)
Bimmerword trackcabs (no experience with these, so can't comment further)

I wouldn't get PF or AKG. They're just not going to last.

This AKG FCAB has 37 track events on it over the course of 5 years.

Same here. had a set of AKG fcabs fail on me.

I had two sets of Powerflex fail on me before I learned my lesson and purchased the Turner Monoballs. No slop in the fitment and no noise. I’m enjoying them.
