Installed the Rogue Engineering monoball M3 front tension arm bushings today along with the M3 front lower wishbones. The OEM bushings need to be pressed out and the new ones pressed in. The quality on the Rogue parts is exceptional and the monoball design will not allow for any deflection at all.
For the M3 wishbones, the guys at Rogue had to make up a mount for the headlight adjuster which is on the opposite side vs the M3. The headlight leveling regulator rod also had to be slightly modified to get everything to mount up correctly.
An alignment was absolutely necessary after the install as toe was completely off. Wishbones added -0.5 degrees of camber up front.
Won't have a chance to try it out on the track for another few months, but initial impressions are good from the drive home.
Here's my current alignment specs:
Front Camber: -1.4 (left), -1.4 (right)
Front Toe-in: 0.12 (left), 0.13 (right), 0.25 (total)
Front Caster: 7.5 (left), 7.3 (right)
Rear Camber: -2.0 (left), -2.0 (right)
Rear Toe-in: 0.21 (left), 0.12 (right), 0.32 (total) - rear toe is an absolute bitch to adjust.
