as far as the rear hexes go.....I might replace with avids if they come out soonish. Why? The AE ones for the b4 sucked IMO. The finish falls off fast and they didnt hold the best. My avids were a year old and still looked new. My AE ones were severely faded. Plus, the avids were cheaper and black is sexy, lol. I still have no idea why they made clamping front hexes..... The stock steel hex looks to be fine...

honestly, The plastic b44 hubs were great. I only removed them for the alum hubs because of the BB shocks and clearance issues. But the plastic b44 hubs had great fitment.

Can still run my Shorties! No NEED to buy Brick pack or use my Saddle Packs.

Seriously, WTF??!?!?! How come people overseas get them so much earlier than the US??!?!?

I love the foam for shorties in the kit. I won't be buying square packs either.

Keeping my B4.whatever for use outdoors this year and the B5M will be for our indoor track. My B4 is so decked out I'll never get my moneys worth out of selling it. If I can't break a B4, the B5 SHOULD be bulletproof. Just hope AE fixed the bleeder screw issue, not that big of a deal though... TLR brass seals and Avid pistons made them much better.

Still, a U.S. based company should cater to their home customer base first. They can keep whatever stock on hand overseas but they should not be released to the public until they release them states side.

99% of those aftermarket parts don't make any difference, but I have to do something when not racing. It must be an addiction or something.....

+1 Matt is the pimp master 9000. he buys a car and blings it out. If you see one of his cars for sale, just buy it. He buys the kit, put $100 in upgrades, races is 2-3 times then sells it at a bargain. you know its true Matt....lol
