Changing out header gaskets, buttoning everything back up now. Hopefully off to exhaust fab shop to replace gutted cats with resonators then alignment tomorrow.
Nice brake swap. How much better is the braking?XTS/gt500 swap.
Your sweet beast is coming along nicely. Post up how you like the new sound with the resonators.Changing out header gaskets, buttoning everything back up now. Hopefully off to exhaust fab shop to replace gutted cats with resonators then alignment tomorrow. View attachment 1641025
Hope you're happy after the tuning. The new rotors and pads look good. Sucks that you had to struggle a bit due to the thin washers, BUT, you did figure it out.View attachment 1641081
It’s been a while but finally got it all put together. Started the tuning process.

Also found this gem! Anyone who purchases the Russells stainless brake hose kit needs to know that the banjo bolt crush washers that come with the kit are too thin for the front caliper. I found out the hard way and ended up using the old washers up front. The thin washer on the banjo pushed the caliper piston out slightly and with new rotors/pads, caused the fronts to lock up. I was at my wits end with this and was almost ready to mill down the pads before I found this. Kit is nice but R&D fail.
Took advantage of Lethal's sale and ordered a BMR K member and control arms. I'm looking forward to ditching the MM set up to be honest.
The premium without spring perches. I already have coilovers and I want to keep them.which version did you go with?

When they were first released I contacted BMR and was told the standard would be fine for a street car like mine. The premium would be for a more track oriented car. But I didn't like how the control arms mount on the standard version.I'm guessing the difference between the standard and premium versions is that the standard is geared more for drag strip and reducing weight and the premium is more for handling and stiffening up the front suspension to reduce flex in the front end?

If track was my main concern I'd stay with the MM unit. The change in wheel base and track width is noticable behind the wheel. But I'm just a canyon carver so I want my front wheels back inside the fender. And everytime I get under the car the oil filter adapter is damp. It annoys the crap out of me.
I'll keep you posted. It'll be a couple weeks at least before everything is pulled off.LMK how much youll be asking for your MM Stuff.
