#4. Short Shift Kits - from Paragonloan@aol.com

Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 09:19:32 EST From: Paragonloan@aol.com Subject: Short Shift Kits Guys I just installed the Rogue SSK on my M3. simply put this is the best kit I have ever used. It feels exactly like the factory should have done it. Very smooth and fluid between shifts, just like stock but closer together.no annoying clickity clikity between shifts the car is a dream to drive now. I also suggest while you are down there to replace the knuckle it is a $12 part that takes an extra 5 minutes to change and Rogue usually stocks them. Good job Ben. Brian Jacobs 97 M3 Everglades CCA

#5. Entire Control Arm or just the bushings?? - from JUSTIN GERRY
Top
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 09:24:35 -0500 From: "JUSTIN GERRY" <JGERRY@butchers.com> Subject: Entire Control Arm or just the bushings?? I am almost at 80,000 on my '97. I think I am almost due for a set of control arm bushings as I average 3 to 5 track days a year + a few autocrosses + north east winter driving. Do most of you guys simply replace the whole control arm or do you just replace the bushings? Is there any reason that I should replace the whole arm? Thanks, Justin

I assume you're taling the front here. If you track the car, or the ball joint dust boots are torn, replace the arm. If it's a street car and the boots look good, don't.
