A more humble response from Empire was required!!!!!
You're 1000% right !
To my opinion the people from Empire need to be ashamed immensely !!Me, my wife, and our dog can call ourselves very lucky that we're still alive.
This is the most dangerous construction, special on a car like this with ZERO protection.
You would think you get a very quick email from Empire that they aware of the problem and an advice NOT to drive any more meter with this stuff.
And they would tell you that they working on a safe solution as soon as possible.
But NO, even till now you hear nothing from them, they only say that the breaking forces need to be extremely high till it breaks and thats not possible with a M3W. (see the post of Paul Jacobs).
That's the same as telling lung cancer can't come from smoking.
When I got my risers, the ones on Gulf fitted like it should be.
But in my wife's car they didn't fit at all.
I got the recommendation to go to a local machinery shop and let them make the tapers smaller !
How much ? Nobody know.
This because MMC uses two different sizes of taper holes !
So will my new machines tapers fit the hole ?
How much chance you give me ?
Yes the solution which Dan Lockwood discribes could be a better solution (but I'm not an engineer).
To mine opinion the safest way is to use the comfort kit from MMC.
Empire charged me a lot of money for two VERY UNSAFE products.
If I look to the solution who Dan describes this would cost Empire only pennies.
The postage would be almost more expensive for them
