First impressions with Tracking a new-to-me M2C

rbahr · 09-01-2022, 06:22 PM

Jason: How did you eliminate the top speed nannies? WRT suspension settings, I went with the suggestions of a local race guy. I agree that the back sees a bit much. I am back on the track next week and will take some temp and handling data. Once I finish making wheel stands (another winter project), I will start to string the car and play with options. The car does seem to have a fair amount of roll...

Why would you use that much front toe with your front suspension being metal bushed (I am assuming that it is)? If you need that much, there may be a bump steer issue going on. Another 'project'...

Have a buddy running square 305 DH on 10.5 on his M2C. It's street car with MCS 3way and similar setup as M2CSR (regarding wheels, spacers, offsets). Lots of options to get much wider tires if desired.

Corey is on 18's which required a change of brakes, something to consider. I don't think you could squeeze 305's square on the 19's.

Unfortunately the M2C comes with those damn blue brakes that won't fit an 18

Good for business as I have replaced a bunch of them but man a decent set of 18 friendly brakes sure would have been nice.

Yes, was more or a joke as it goes without saying you have to ditch the blue brakes.

19" tire options suck.

Edit: although those gold CS wheels are gorgeous so I understand the hesitation.

Those wheels would make me pause for at least a minute or two before swapping out - and for me and my modding issues that is pretty monumental!

19 options are not terrible until you look at 18s.

This is going to be an interesting thread that I hope to learn from. Thank you for sharing.

It didn't take me long to realize that the 19" rims would not work. But those OE brakes are not to shabby.
