Woke up this morning to get some work done on the M3. Got my 2 new Falken FK452's on the back.
Well the plan was to give it a full once over underneath now that I had it on a lift. While it was up in the air I found out I needed new rear pads and rotors. So new slotted rotors and Hawk pads are coming in a week or two. Originally this had me bummed. That money was going towards my urethane engine and transmission mounts :(
This is where story gets better. I start going over everything else, checking the condition of the guibo, fluids, LCABS, RTABS etc. While checking the guibo and the retaining bolts I look up at the transmission to find two BRAND NEW Rogue Engineering Tranny mounts! So I darn near hit my head on the exhaust when I stood up in shock. Next I look up into the engine bay to see bright yellow urethane motor mounts...most likely Ireland Engineering. The P/O never said anything about these! Needless to say I left the shop happy as hell to find out that I dont have to do this. This also frees up some budget to hopefully have my H&R Sport Springs and GT Corner Splitters on for GWRA/4ngiefest.
