Also started fitting the wisefab uprights they have the equivant of raising the wheel bearing 50mm, Ie all supension arms are at the designing angles with the car set 50mm lower.
They also have adjustment to allow be to remove bump steer

road going ABS is not the best when you change things out also designed to allow best stability in an emergency but at the expense of breaking performance.
The M5 motorsport system is designed for best braking performance but not as stable (assumes you can drive!)
you can also set up car weight, track, wheel weight, etc etc in the system. There are then 11 levels of ABS so you can adjust to your liking and maby have different setting for wet and dry.

Sounds like an excellent system. Its not a common thang tho , is it ?

It's a amazing bit of kit I cannot wait to give it a try
i think steven has on in his car and I know Damian has one in his legacy but other than that not many around.
I remember taking to Phil Glew when he was driving the Zen performance Impreza at time attack and he was the one that said, the one thing the zen car needed was a motorsport ABS. after hearing that & looking into it I wanted to get one, and now several years later I have.

AS performance have supplied me with some ABS adaptors to I can run the Bosch ABS sensors I have had to adjust the fronts slightly (Wisefab fault not AS performance) they fitted the standard hubs correctly.
Just a slight adjustment to OD then I checked for sensor clearance should be 0.8 mm +_ 0.1 mm and that was spot on

Finished off the front end this week over a couple of evenings
i have have used the original ABS sensor mounting brackets and cut off and reused the gromit to keep the cables tidy.
also made up a new power steering line hard pipe as the original hit the new subframe

front brakes refitted all straight forward on these version two front uprights (the 1 verson of the wisefab upright this was an issue apparently with after market brackets)

While the turbo was out for sorting the ABS piping and wiring, I have decided to update the turbo a little too
Still using the same exhaust housing and set up, but a new core and compressor side.
Turbine side is a newer 9 blade high flow design
compressor is 2mm bigger 84mm compared to the old 82mm

I have finished all the break hard lines now ABS just needs power supply and rear wheel sensors fitted now. Just waiting for the wisefab rear uprights before I can fit the rear sensors.
I have also also removed the rear subframe. The new tubular one will require some cutting of the rear spare wheel well but should be ok to keep standard fuel tank.

Rear subframe is now in, I went for standard height mount so I could keep the standard fuel tank. Will be correcting supension angles on the rear uprights too. Wisefab rear upright should be here on Monday.

i got them through steve SMG, he has worked with them to sort the issues they had with the initial designs.
He checks them before sending too one of my rears Steve fitted sleves to the lower bolt holes ( the long bolt) as there they were a little loose. One of the issues they had in the passed was the rears were welded after machining and some became distorted, they have changed the process now but Steve checks them for roundness too

Rear wisefab hubs are on now, new bearing and seals fitted, I cleaned out the standard grease from the bearings and re-greased them with redline CV2
the he wisefab hub use the original back plates for the hand break but the calliper mounts are cut of as the bolt directly to the upright
