Brake, and suspension question.
Has anyone used the DRM BrakeBias Spring, how do you like the differnce it made, and do you think it would be worth purchasing?
Are the C4 beam plates worth the $179 price tag, and is there any noticeable improvements by using them? What do you guys think?

Does anyone know the thread size used on the bolts for the torque arm? $180 bucks is a little steep for me, when I can make my own out of chromemoly in about 20 minutes. I just need the thread size of the bolts so I can get 4 grade 8 nuts to tig weld to the plates that I make.

I have to agree, the C beam plates that Bill sells is a little high. I'll measure my bolts for ya since my car is pulled apart.
Also, the brake bias spring is pretty nice, I installed mine when I went to new pads and rotors and the GS calipers. So as a stand alone install I can't say it worked. But for the 15 bucks RIppie charges, go for it.

Im just trying to get out of raising my car, removing one bolt and measuring threads, then go get 4 grade8 nuts. And what the hell why not make them myself while Im just standing around waiting for the next job to come in. Ill just make them out of chromemoly. I will still have to raise my car to get the center to center difference on the front and rear of the torgue arm though. I will post pictures when Im done. Hell maybe I will be able to sell them? Doubt it, Im sure they are patented!
