Might have to agree with some of the other posts promoting the Bilstein route, if only for the fact your daily commute is quite long and depending on the spring rate you go with, may be a bit brutal day-in day-out. It is true the ability for a rebuild is beneficial (currently running AST4100's...

American Muscle lists the AMR version @ 27.1lbs. in 19x10 size. At $179 a wheel, much better priced than the RTR.

Yes, exactly. The LCA's and brackets were cake but getting the axle realigned was the tricky part.

Yea, those LCA and brackets are a bit of a pita to install. I used a come along to drag the axle back into position. Kept the cursing to a minimum.

...and here's the 6 piston. http://www.essexparts.com/shop/complete-brake-systems/competition-brake-systems/essex-competition-brake-system-endurance-c6-corvette-bundle.html

http://www.essexparts.com/shop/complete-brake-systems/competition-brake-systems/essex-competition-brake-system-sprint-c5-corvette-bundle.html Not sure if your interested Terry but I talked to a friend over at Essex and their developing an AP Racing 4 and 6 piston kit design to clear 18" wheels...

Found one Went to my local dealer and found this today sitting among the sea of Fiesta's and Edge's. Soo tasty.

Wow, you'd think they were running a short track, not Road Atlanta, with the speed that MF was carrying. Wicked.

My list of minor issues: 1. blown axle seals (rear) 2. pinion seal 3. axle vent (terrible design as stated above. I can't believe Ford sold it like this)

My current setup for the past couple of years has been Ferodo DS1-11 race/enduro pads up front with 2500's (street/track) in the rear. Great balance, easy to modulate, impressive longevity (because enduro pad) with minimum fade. If your looking for something to last awhile (4 events in and...

Ahh, fun! I was there a few weeks ago with Porsche Club of America. Always a good day when your lapping a field of sports cars with stick axle technology. That is until I blew out both rear axle seals and pinion seal. :thud: Great track to learn on for those who've never been. Not much to hit...

I sure miss good ol' BW. Since moving to MI. my track outings have been cut in half. Thanks a lot seasons!!! Best of luck nursing that new found open track bite. Once I started attending road course events after autocrossing for years, I never went back to cone dodging.

^^^WOW! Pretty amazing home built M3.

Doing this mod next month. Thx. for the write-up!

Try this. Appears to be a nice quality setup if you just plan to run HPDE events and eventually plan to return the car back to stock. I think the MM setup requires some cutting/trimming of the rear seat plastic panels for proper fitment. Of course is MM kit is a lot cheaper...
