I seem to remember that we were referred to in a quite derogatory manner, even. Whiners, or what was it?
Just calling their own solution "the comfort kit", meaning it was for the US market was a bit low. Funny how soon it became standard factory spec. Right?
M3W, now!!!

Plenty of threads on here about the Empire Kit but I believe the geometry of the early cars with Comfirt Kit and the current 'already comforted' models are exactly the same and maintains the inherent design deficiency of misaligned pivot points between top wishbone and steering rack track rod. What Empire allows (as well as fixing the cause of the bumpsteer instead of just masking the impact) is camber and caster adjustment, plus the option (as I have it) or running a properly aligned top wishbone with the original track rod end mounting position, giving in my view the best of everything - high speed stability, turn-in precision and grip through increased negative camber. So I guess what I'm trying to say is it might be better to put the kit on the car rather than leave it in the box

I heard they are the only source of the Empire kit now, offering just the polished version. I believe Draggin bought the last black finish kit.
