Awesome Project! Are you still running the XYZ coilovers? I have my own compact build in the works and gravel is the plan so I am interested to hear how you found them on the loose stuff :)

Keep the updates coming!

The springs are to hard for Gravel but we are only there for fun.

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.

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

m3 rear end required ?

That would be nice , But I can change a lot of axles for the cost of a M3 rear end :)
