again not too sure how true this is but i heard the m54 cams is a budget form of u.s. M3 cams you have to machine 5mm off the end and ure good to go (before u ask i aint a clue which end) again its something iv heard so please dont go by what i say.

as i think all know, U.S. M3 cams is like trying to find a rocking horse with the sh!ts
