I apologize for the instructions not being in the box. I'm putting the finishing touches on them as we speak (wanted to make sure they were clear, had good diagrams, etc.) and will be going out as a PDF tomorrow.

Are we going to get the instructions today ???

Folks, please check your emails :)

wow those are actually pretty sweet.

The instructions look great. I do have a few questions though. There is a small gasket that goes between the body and the rear shock mounts in the stock configuration. Is this gasket not used anymore ? There was no note of it in the instructions.

Also, Is a rear sway bar suggested with the default spring rate ? I read a few times that with rates this stiff the rear sway wasn't needed and was actually suggested to be removed. Can anyone confirm this ? Thank you.

The gaskets are not needed because the gasket is designed to prevent the mount from rusting to the body (both parts are steel). These mounts are made from aluminum, and as we all know aluminum doesn't rust and therefore won't bond to the body. The gasket won't really gain you anything, but it certainly won't hurt to add one either ;).

As for removing the rear sway bar, it's not really necessary. Once you're using the M3 sway links it stays pretty balanced with the sway in the rear. Erik325i was running it without the rear sway, but he also hadn't added the front sway links in yet.

The front links make the front bar more efficient and thereby stiffens the front. The age old adage of stiffen the front to increase understeer, stiffen the rear to increase oversteer. The links combined with the rear sway actually keeps the system in check.
