Were you able to order the Ohlin suspension directly from the factory or will you have it fit afterwards?
Also: do you (or anyone) know if the Krazy Horse geometry upgrade (Empire Kit or whatever the new name is) can be ordered also directly when ordering a new car from the factory? Apart from the fact that is still debatable if this is actually needed...
These are two add-ons I am personally interested in and it would be a bit of a pain to have the car delivered to continental Europe and then somehow get it back to the island to have the add-ons fitted...

I don't believe either can be ordered through MMC. The Empire Racing website now states their M3W suspension kit is available exclusively from Krazy Horse.

Boone, it isn't all that difficult to install, the Empire kit. Took me two hours for the first side and a little over half an hour for the second one. I made all the mistakes on the first one, I wonder why? *s*
My tip is: do not pre-assemble the parts. They just would not go on the car when together. One piece at a time - no problem.
The kit transformed my car. Not sure I would have kept it without, it was that lethal.
Have tried to get Ohlins, and thought it would be easy as the head office is about half an hour away, but still nothing. They don't want my money...
M3W, now!!!

DocNik, thank you for your kind advise... but I am the type of guy who has to borrow a hammer from the neighbors because I don't own one. (Please allow this slight exaggeration...)
Currently I really don't see myself fixing things on my own. (Not a good precondition to be a future owner of a M3W!)

Ah, ok. I learn (and buy) as I go, myself. Heck, I even own two(!)torque wrenches nowadays. It is a lot of fun, though, at least when you tinker for enjoyment, not because you have to.
M3W, now!!!
