[s-cars] Eibach/Bilstein and Camber - What's *the* Solution?

[LL - NY]

Got it. No, it doesn't have any rubber. Still, seems to be quiet. Then
again, haven't put
a lot of miles on the car since the end of June when it was held captive in
the garage
due to a large dumpster in it's way for part of my house renovation. It has
been freed
now. And the struts mounts are still quiet.
