Default H.B.*Finally Bite the Bullet* Part Deaux

So here's what's happened.
1. Got my Power Bond PB1117SS and its damaged, call Summit, no problem will send a replacement ASAP, UPS picked up the unit.
2. Received replacement last nite, open her up and same problem, looks to have been dropped ?? Call Summit, explain problem and they will send another except that I request it be examined prior to ship.
Get a call today that they have checked all of their warehouses and all Power Bond HB have damage as I have stated mine were well over 100 units
So what to do, I tell them the only other one that I have faith in is the ATI unit but its like $200 more but they will offer a discount for my troubles which I might do.
But I don't know what part # of an OEM replacement unit is, and they couldn't help me with that ???
Something about the diameter ??
Their website for ATI is pretty confusing with about 16 different models that can be used on my car, 2011 Grand Sport A-6 and I don't know which one is correct
Does anyone know what part# in the ATI for OEM would be ??
I thank you

Give this a look. I'm pretty sure it's the right one.

Edit to add: Summit's reference page https://www.summitracing.com/parts/a...olet/year/2011

Not So Fast, call ATI and ask them directly. I purchased a used ATI balancer and had them rebuilt it. Great customer service from ATI.

No, I don't know, Bobby, but they're 1 phone call away from you. Give 'em a shout. I'd say they're the experts in what will fit your car.

Edit: just saw Brandon's response. I second the motion.

Here it is:

Well finally wound up with the Power Bond PB1117SS, and got it from Rock Auto, ordered it Friday at noon, got it today. They are a little higher in price than Summit thou but what cha gonna do??
Oh and its flawless, not a scratch or ding, NOTHING so yippee
The model ATI recommended was priced at $435 from Summit, I agreed with others that it was over kill for my situation.
Install next week hopefully, and praying it goes well

Sounds like you found a good installer. Soon you will know the relief of not having to worry about this anymore. Three years later, I still look at mine just to watch it spin smoothly.

Good luck with the install. I dread having to deal with this someday. I'm scared to even look at my HB when the car is running.

Mine wasn't this bad 6 months ago, I figured it might last me but after checking it out last week and again today it has gotten worse, enough to make me nervous. Wobbling pretty badly
