Hi Chris,

what do you have on the car at the moment?

I have the FM too, love my car in its current format

I have the alloy rear hanger
Brass bulkhead
blank pistons, drill them out front to 2x 1.6 and rear 3x 1.6
Front Shock Tower Camber Plates - PR66481176 these really help me for quick easy adjustments
Aluminum Idler Gear PR66402086 - for durability
Gullwing wishbones - PR69400146 - help steering
vented slipper plates - PR66402456
CNC Pro Ackerman Plate - Ballraced - PR66430346 feels nicer and smoother steering, also very durable

the best upgrade ive done that is the low front and rear towers
PR71400426 & PR71400466

you could just buy a type R which has all the upgrades you need in one box


have a word with Kev

Having just got an FM i was curious to know just how big a difference the low shock towers made to the car, is it a real night and day thing or far more subtle than that?

i 1st tried just the rear with the old fronts, then tried both, i love the low towers, car just handles so much better, bumps, to jumping and landing

It makes a big difference Chris, plus consider the gullwing front wishbones also. The Type R shocks too.
