K2RD vs. M2?
I ordered M2 trailing arms and toe links, and today I got a package in the mail with trailing arms and toe links that came from K2RD. The only real difference I can see so far is that the M2 trailing arms are offset, and the K2RD trailing arms aren't. Anybody have any comments on either?

Has anyone installed the K2RD trailing arms? I've read opinions on the M2 units, but not K2RD's. If there aren't any opinions one way or another, I suppose I'll just install the K2RD pieces that I received.

Pedal, what are you saying? Did you order those trailing arms from Mostly Mazda, and you paid Mostly Mazda, but you got a shipment from K2RD.com instead? I'm confused. But as far as I know, both M2 and K2RD both buy these arms from Ground control. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I actually ordered the M2 trailing arms and toe links from Rotor Motorsports, but the ones I received were shipped straight from K2 Racing Development. Pictures of the M2 pieces that I've seen are black. The ones I received are an anodized blue color, like picture of the FC3S Rear Camber Link Bar by K2RD that's on Rotor Motorsports' site. The only real difference that I can see other than the color is that the M2 trailing arms are offset slightly to allow for larger tires. So, I'm trying to decide whether to send the ones I received back, and get the M2 stuff or just install these.

There is a big difference and one is price. The M2's are a little more money. See what they charged you for. If you need the M2's I have them in stock.

you guys are of course assuming that both m2, k2rd, and ground control dont buy the individual parts from the same supplier. they arent very complex parts. i have seen the m2 links in blue and black btw. the end was originally offset so m2 could put 315-17's in the back, the stock arms wont clear tires that big.
