Brake Booster

in order run a m30 sidedraft, you have to remove the OE brake booster and go with a smaller one. otherwise the housing will not allow for you to run trumpets… i went with a tii booster.

heres the oe vs the tii. also the modified tii linkage & the tii booster alone


update: Motosports Series Springs

Something had me uneasy about running a cut spring on the car.. sold the RD’s and picked up some NOS Motrorsport Series Springs from BFC. they look great mounted

 

 

the drop

bilstein sports with racing dynamics springs (1 cut coil fronts)
