Ive only ridden in an FD once. Bone stock, auto MB Touring. Nice car, but I wasnt impressed performance wise. I was supposed to race him, but never got a chance, and I havent heard from him in months.

A bone stock auto FD would not be much faster than a 5 speed T2. I think they pull 0-60 in 6.0 and 14.5 1/4 - much slower than a 5 speed FD. I'll give you a ride and you better be impressed!

3mm seals are replacements for the 2mm seals for the owner who blew their engines and were to cheap to buy new rotors to so the 2mm will fit again. They don't seal as well as the 2mm, and no one has provided proof that they last any longer or can take any more punishment than 2mm seals.
