OMFG that's funny.

Holy crap! I didn't realize they're in Wilmington. Maybe I can talk them into giving me one for R&D. :p

The Mfactory stuff is definitely a lot less expensive though.

:thumbsup Sweet - thanks! Good to know because mine has about 60k on it...not that I expect it to go any time soon; the PO replaced it at ~60k miles (probably more likely that it was faulty than...

The pads/rotor aren't that worn,...

Did a little digging, found a few instances of failures... The front bar mount weakness has apparently been an issue with some E46 M3's and base models with larger bars on full-stiff. Now I'm...

The rear mounts actually come with a pretty hefty (maybe 1/4" or 3/8" thick) reinforcing plate which gets added to the back of the chassis bracket. This picks up the bottom hole, which doesn't exist...

Got the Hotchkis front bar and Bimmerworld adjustable endlinks installed...

A friend of mine who knows E46's inside and out said he heard people with these bars have had the frame...
