Texas SpeedWerks is awsome !

I just placed an order for the following.......
TSW springs
Ireland Eng. 2nd gen. street adj. cmaber plates
IE rear sway bar with drop links
IE rear control arms.

Scott and Jeff at TSW put together an awsome package price for me. So if anyone else is interested please give them a try.

With my soon to arrive FSD's, I will be set ! Looks like I'll have to update my sig soon.

Will be installing them soon and will try to have a write up soon after.

Thanks to Scott and Jeff

How big is the rear sway bar? *hmmmm, I just ordered a set of springs - maybe I should give 'em another call and get a few more goodies*

22mm adjustable with drop links... the IE setup is pretty trick for the $, IMHO.

We're here to serve!

Thanks! I haven't decided on (which) rear control arms, yet, and the IE pics don't show up in one of the other control arm threads. How are they, for agressive street and twisty driving? I assume that all of the assorted control arms are fine for street use - is there anything in particular I should be considering? I figure I want urethane bushed arms for ride comfort. I notice some have grease zerks, are not-greased ones noisy?

Yea these guys are awesome - completely out for you the customer and tons of knowledge (rocket scientist on staff?!) and experience to back it up. They took the time to answer my neophyte questions a while back and convinced me that they're into producing quick MINIs more than quick profits.

Good luck with your purchase!

The Ireland arms are built well, solid, and nice! The street arms are fairly quiet, but will introduce a bit more NVH because of the bushing material...

I'll second that!! Or third, or....

Spoke to Jeff by phone today, and got some questions answered.

I will be supplementing my TSW spring purchase with:

IE fixed camber plates
IE lower rear control arms
TSW engine damper

All from TX Speedwerks.

Hopefully my already-ordered M7 STB will show up soon, too, and I can beat the strut towers back into submission and get all these goodies installed. Gotta be in by AMVIV.

Thanks again, Jeff and Scott. I'll keep you posted.

Brian

ok, I'll fourth that. TSW is a top-notch vendor. These guys 'get it' and will always get my business, when they have something to sell me

on that note, I think I might be better off with the 22mm than the 19mm h-sport in my garage. Seems most people like the 22mm better. Worth doing?

Bigger is not better when it comes to RSB, stick w/ the 19MM.

Direct funds else were.
