gotta love the big brown truck!
 
Got my Bilstein shock/struts and H&R/MM Race springs along with MM 4bolt CC plates and an MM Panhard bar kit. I will install all but the panhard bar tomorrow at work and do an alignment...pics will be posted so no worries there. Thanks goes out to r3dn3ck for all his advice and suggestions and for suggesting I use MM for these parts...MM is very good to deal with and their guys go out of their way to help product selection. Next week will be the MM XD RLCA's. Should be a fun time!!

Congrat's man!!

Thanks...but I am not sure about the springs...

The Kit was supposed to come with h&r Race springs(the red ones)

I got Blue springs that say "Maximum Motorsports" on them. Only p/n's on are "AA" for the front springs and "11" for the rear springs. I called MM and the guy on the phone said that the spring I got and described to him are made by h&r but with a specific tuning spec by MM and that they are supposed to be Blue colored. He said that the blue color confuses a lot of ppl, and that because of the blue color they think they are getting "sports" or "supersports" so now these springs will be made in Silver. He said then said the blue springs that I got with the kit ARE h&r RACE springs, just made different for MM.

On their website it shows the RED H&R RACE SPRINGS AND

it shows the "MM Road and Track kit"----> these are the springs they sent me!! they have the same "AA" and "11" p/n on them. I wonder whats going on here:wallbash:

yeah read this: hehe or skim it lol. this is what MM says about the springs they gave me...

After years of tuning suspensions around the spring rates that were available, we determined that designing our own springs would better suit our needs. MM's Engineering Team has begun working with a major spring manufacturer to develop new spring sets. These are top quality springs, made to our specifications.
The MM Springs will be available in a variety of spring rates. The choice of which MM Spring is best suited for your car depends on the intended use. We will have some springs that are intended primarily as lowering springs, and are therefore only slightly stiffer than stock springs. We will also have performance springs, intended for the performance-minded driver, with higher spring rates.

The new MM Springs are designed to have less progression than other spring brands The more linear nature of the MM Springs makes the amount of lowering more consistent, and the handling more predictable. Except for the Open-Track series, the MM Springs are intended to be suitable for a daily driven car, and as such we have designed the MM Springs with just the right blend of performance and ride quality. Knowledgeable performance enthusiasts know that lowering a car too much is a sure-fire way to destroy a car’s handling prowess, and so the MM Springs are designed to avoid excessive lowering. And of course, these sets all include a new MM Pinion Snubber.

The first of the MM Spring sets are now available. We will roll out more applications as they are developed. Keep checking here for the latest offerings.

Maybe these are kickass springs?? Im gonna install them tomorrow so I'll find out!! they sound great by MM's description.

You should have a killer stance.

Dont worry about the springs. If MM says its good, its good. They are the hands down best customer friendly/suspension guru's out there. Well, for people like us anyway. Im SO jealous of you, but I think im going to redo my suspension after my car gets finished being paid off. I want control arms, bilsteins, panhard bar, and possibly new springs. I cant wait. Mmmmm currrves. BTW, let us know how the panhard install goes. Ive heard it can be a pain in the ass.

all installed!! Car looks good. Drives like a freakin' M3!!! Its sweet. I didnt intall the PHB or the CC plates because I ran out of time. Im gonna let the suspension settle and then Install the CC plates and do an alignment. PHB will be on in a few weeks when I get some more time and I'll report on how the install went. MM FUGGIN ROCKS!!!!!!:clap: :pepper: :banana:
