Would anyone in Atlanta be interested in hosting/organizing a rear trailing arm bushing installfest similar to the one that just happened in the Bay Area?

I don't have the tools or the expertise, but my car could probably use new RTABs.

I would be interested if we find someone who knows what they are doing. I don't :)
I am interested in those that let me adjust the camber and toe on the rear.

I'd be interested in doing it. so would my brother Amir. We've done alot of work on M3's including installing his Dinan Supercharger but i'd have to read up on the bushings or ask my friend who's a tech at global...

I'd be down with it. Don't have/know of a place to do it though.

Anyone know how much new RTAB's cost from the Stealer?

List price for M3 RTABs is $18.40 each.

I might also spring for the $60 Ground Control inserts that 95 MPWR recommended.

Anybody have access to a lift?

Or should we invite some of the West Coast installers to spend a lovely weekend in Atlanta? :)

Anyone know if the GC inserts would be legal under SCCA SoloII Stock class rules?

I'm guessing so since anything not mentioned is generally understood to not be permitted. Would be nice to plant the rear a bit more though, as I think the toe changes were killing me on slow corner exits.

My car has 69k on it, and 3 AutoX's, so I'm sure those few events put the nail in the coffin on the original RTAB's.

I doubt they would be able to tell anyways.

Well, it's hard to tell that you have done alot of modifications, but that doesn't mean you should do them. ;)


I'm not out to prep my car beyond the class rules then take someone's lunch money. I want to (eventually) win in a legal car through skill, not because my car is just prepped better than any of my competitors' cars.
