Yeah, Dinan end links.

I just got back from the shop, had to take the race-car in this morning for something else. The mounting point on the damper was bent in addition to the crack/shear that broke it off. They think something was flexing/twisting when it shouldn't of been and weakened it over time.

We'll be replacing the entire shock with a new unit they already have en-route from MCS and will still troubleshoot to see if any of the bushings or ball joints need replaced.

Also, when one of your M3s is in the shop, it's important to bring the other one in so they don't get lonely:
If only we could get one of your cars off the lift we could put mine on and how much this last weekend cost me 🤣
*I haven't had the stomach to look at the pre-race bill

It seems as though the car is just too fast and starts coming apart after 30-60 minutes. Some of the suspension was safety wired but now every single nut and bolt will be.
