The springs are to hard for Gravel but we are only there for fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie 66 Report post Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Its been a while since Ive posted here some time to do an update. The car has been running flawlessly over the last year with the only draw back being the willwood brakes. They work very well but eat the rotors up . I have to replace the rotors each time we replace the pads. Edited May 25, 2014 by rot62 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie 66 Report post Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) Since that new engine got install I noticed the rear end walks around a little so I decided to replace the trailing arm bushes. I made up a dyi puller so I could remove the bushes without removing the arms from car. It worked good, less than hour to replace both rear arm bushes Homemade bush puller ready to go Success the bush is removed Edited June 15, 2014 by rot62 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie 66 Report post Posted July 1, 2014 m3 rear end required ? That would be nice , But I can change a lot of axles for the cost of a M3 rear end Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
