Has anyone had any success with M2's suspension components? I am getting some really crazy wheel hop when i launch my car and i was wondering what you guys thaught about M2's solid mount trailing arms and toe links.

I honestly dont' have any first hand experience with them, but someone that I know who has them is very dissatisfied and says it handles worse and is more unstable than stock at high speeds

 

Can you get your friend to post on this subject? I'm considering installing both, and have read a couple similar impressions. I'm always interested in reading another.

 

If you think about it for a moment, you should see that it is not possible for the M2 links to make the car feel substantially different while cruising in a straight line. The only possible explanation for that is that the car had a screwed up alignment, perhaps as a side-effect of installing the links, but not as a direct effect of the links themselves.

My experience with the toe links in the corners is that they give the car a more solid feeling in the rear end, which I find confidence-inspiring. I also have LaBreck bushings in my stock trailing arms, and I get zero wheel hop now.

The only downside to the M2 links is that they seem to wear out faster than the stock bushings. But they are a lot cheaper to replace (the rod ends) when they do wear out.

I can't comment on wheel hop, since I don't drag race my car. However, I've used the M2 trailing arms & toe links on the street & track (road courses) and am perfectly satisfied with them. My impression is that the car is more stable under braking.

I also agree with Max that if somebody believes that their car is less stable with the M2 parts, then I suggest that they check the installation and the alignment.

If you live in a climate that would expose the rod ends to moisture on a regular basis, I suggest looking into some type of boots for the rod ends that you can pack with grease.
