About as late of a “mid-season” update as I can get here. Quite a number of tweaks, changes, and upgrades for the Evo. Not as much for the M3, just some minor tweaks. Evo New upgraded sway-bar endlinks to fix the clunking, especially in the rear Adjustments to alignment (removed preload, later added a touch…
Sent my OSG to TRE around the end of August, just after my 3rd track day with the Evo. I was hoping for a 2 week turnaround, but got it about a month later, just in the nick of time. I received it on 9/30, but the bolts for the arms were left behind, and…
