Sound advise though, i will have years to tinker with it. How about driving it instead.

To each his own, but I see my M3W as an instant modern classic... if I bought a 1933, I'd want it as it came from the factory, not fiddled with by a PO. I'm sticking with the factory exhaust, suspension , engine, etc.

I have the last Empire kit stored away. Thing is, having grown up driving Model A Fords, and other hot rod and custom cars, I think the stock steering is now fine. I should probably just do the Dynamat and DRIVE IT! After all I still have 4 motorcycles, a vintage trailer, and an old house to keep my need to fix stuff exercised...

Sounds like sound advice to yourself.
However, the Empire kit is a very nice upgrade. Love mine. A must for an early car, in my opinion. Not as sure about the newer ones.
M3W, now!!!

Needed on early bump steering cars. Not on newer cars 🚗.

DocNik, I am not sure I will ever drive my 2016 car close enough to the limit to make the small geometry change worth installing it. I am more of a "Drive It Like You Have To Fix It When It Breaks" kinda guy!

+1 Doc Nik. I've got a 2012 and it was undriveable from the factory. First thing I did was to install the Empire kit and test it. What a wonder!. A week later I did the caster and camber--another revelation. Maybe the factory has corrected all of it with the new cars but I doubt it. Oh, and did I hear the factory thank us for the development and say they were sorry for the discomfort they gave us?

You would hope that the latest version is now fixed!
I understand that the Empire kit helps the car to turn in more readily and helps to eliminate under steer. Users will no doubt add more.
Given the credentials of Empire Racing this is no surprise.
PaulJ did a great job in my view of getting this kit created for M3W users.
I thought Krazy Horse had taken it over. Or was that just while stocks lasted?
