Need RSM for KW V2?

MAZINGER · 01-14-2008, 12:37 AM

I will install my KW V2 when my car arrived. However, do we need to install a stronger or better RSM at the same time?

If so, which RSM is recommended?

Please advice.

Good to know, thanks.

No reports of it breaking... yet.

Time will tell, but I'm keeping a look out for mine probably every 30k.

Dont really need it, maybe at like 80k miles? I think we'll wait for the first, people to report their need on it. For now car is so new the stocks work fine.

my shop said the stock one is pretty solid and shouldn't worry. only time will tell..

jonm42 · 01-16-2008, 02:25 PM

Mine is stock...

You may want to stay stock until we know if there are issues with the rear quarter structure. Better to bust the mount than tweak the chassis.

I hope we don't have that dreaded subframe issue that plague the E46s

You should be fine with the stock RSM although I am betting once the M3 comes out, upgrading to those RSMs will be popular as the stock ones wear out.
