Just a gentle reminder that I'm willing to go cheap on a lot of these parts because I'm trying to pay off this M3. Check the signature

Andd, here's my new baby (hopefully, not final yet)



And here's a tribute video for my old beloved GE (which will be resurrected, I have 20% off employee discount at Autozone so...):

I can def recommend these rigid collars. Very happy with them. Also, I didn't mention it on the previous post; the Cusco sway bar brackets actually makes it so that the sway bar has tension. You have to attach the brackets the sway bar loosely, then install the brackets to the lower subframe. That sway bar is pushing against the brackets. I don't know how the Progress is, but I think with a pre-loaded rsb makes the rear chassis super solid.

You're buying a faster, less safe car.

I'm sorry but that seems a terrible decision.

Essentially the Progress eliminates the bracket and bolts directly to the subframe/spring buckets.

Is that not obvious? It has a full roll cage, 4 point belts and Sparco racing seats. I'd say it's about as safe as it gets.

Why are you selling your grill and CF hood?!?!? You just put them on.

Do you have a 90 day rule or something?

Uhhh that's a borderline race car. Not terrible suitable for getting groceries.
Maybe just sleep on this one a bit, nothing wrong with buying a reliable and safe car and modding it here and there.

My $0.02

id have to agree here. reclining seats with a roll bar and 4pt harnesses? dont expect this to be kind to you in an accident.

I had the wrong guy. with you K swap, do you think the Beatrush under panel will fit?
