RockAuto.com has TT couplers for 24.95 each. Does anyone know anything about them ?

Most likely they are the cheap china version of the BMW couplers, but I'm curious myself.

I called the manufacturer, Dorman, and they are made in china.

I sell Dorman through my work. I've looked at these and they're junk. Find a Beck Arnley distibutor and order 103-2218 for early 10mm or 103-2223 for later 12mm version. Made in Germany,stamped with BMW part number and top quality. Should be able to buy them for $50 each tops.

RPM recommends going with couplers from the Drive shaft shop.

From what I have read these seem to be the best ones out there. I have very few mods and so im trying to see if there are any cheaper options.

Also, I should use all new bolts right ?

Not necessary, and the service manual does not call for replacement.

They are nice pieces, but not necessary on a stock or bolt-on car. Stock replacements will work just fine.

Sounds good. Now I just need them for less then $148 each. I will have to keep my eye on Parts for sale. Thanks

Do all C5 autos use 10mm bolts on the couplings?

buyyourvette

They do not. I have a 99 and it does use 10mm. I'm not sure but I think after 2000 they switched to 12mm
