Talking Got my MWC FAB-9 now on order!

Just got my MWC FAB-9 with billet posi, Yukon 3.89, Meziere side filler cap, and black powder coating ordered!
Now I feel like a kid waiting on x-mas!

Any tip & tricks that I should be aware of to make the install go smoother, once it all gets here in hopefully 8-10 wks?

I'll make sure to post a bunch of photo's, once I get it and when it's installed!

replace the brake lines with some new ones, the stockers are a pain to work with. Thats the only tip i have really.... congrats on the purchase.

I didnt have any problem reusing my stock brake lines, bolted right up. You shouldnt have to open the system changing the axle, just hang them up.

I want one and I have cash in hand. Who wants to sell me theirs, lol! Waiting back to hear options for my setup! It will be nice with some deep dish race stars on the back, narrowed 3" per side! Hell I was even thinking about the M9 from brute speed as well? Not sure honestly which to go with.

If you can wait get the mwc 9" its pretty badass. The major draw back is the time though. The m9 would be at your house in a few days.

I got mine ordered about 5-6 weeks ago. Whole setup, new bars and all. Anxious to get it all under the car with the new coil over setup. Should be damn near indestructible with the new strange hybrid case!!! I know it will be worth the wait. Chuck

Yeah, after I asked myself,"How would you do it if you built it yourself ?"; it was a No-brainer!

MWC FAB 9, Good things come to those who wait.

What is the wait time did they mention? I just realized that the M9 that I was looking at didn't come assembled, lol. Never built one and for that amount of money I dont feel like F***ing it up or having to put it all together. Sounds like a good choice. Wonder how much more I have to throw them to get put at the top of the line, lol!

Damn that's insane!!!! I've heard its worth the wait though for sure. I've never paid so much for something in my life and had to wait over 6-7 weeks and that was my AI setup. It just gets to you waiting for that long, lol. Sounds good, still waiting on a reply back from them on my setup. Phone calls are apparently the way to go however i cant call until after 530 pm. I'll have to find some way to get away from work.
