But these trans mounts are just a different world. They are only 80A and super soft. I'm certain they will become a little more comfortable once I break them in.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I went with these because my friend has a M3 convertible and he installed Revshift engine and trans mounts. I drove the car before and after and there was literally no discernible difference in terms of NVH. So no idea what the heck is up with my car.

Probably because the M3 mounts are stiffer to begin with. I only upgraded to OE M3 engine and transmission mounts and it was a lot better than stock already. You could put E92 engine mounts in too.

Oh yeah, that makes sense. I'm definitely keeping the poly engine mounts, but if the trans mounts don't settle enough I'll go for M3 trans mount. Forgot that option existed.

I have hub extenders for sale if you're interested. I haven't gotten around to listing them yet. Too much shit to list lol I also have 7.5mm spacers.

Thanks for the head's up. I'm going to stick with no spacers for now.

Hmm, I may be interested in giving it another shot. Do you have the extended bolts too? 2 sets of 7.5 or just 1 set? What are you looking to get for the extenders and spacers?

Do you happen to know a solution for extending the rear hubs? Would the VAC extenders work?

Redid my front brakes (ECSTuning slotted/cross drilled 2-piece floating rotors and Hawk HPS pads). After last weeks suspension work, fine-tuned the dampening and height, replaced the endlinks with Bimmerworld ones, leveled the headlights, and changed out the fog bulbs to yellow. Thanks to Hieu for all his help.

That is AWESOME work!

Question -- are those rotors supposed to rotate the other way (expelling the hot air out rather than taking air in)?

Or are the vanes inside not the same direction as the holes/slots on the face?

I know some rotors (BMW performance) have it the opposite way of yours, while others call for it to be like yours are.

@will, thanks!

@nv, These were labeled in the packaging as to the direction they should point, but I def get your question.
