Update and answers to more questions -
(1) spring rates = 650#, 60mm
(2) car is AWESOME on track....happy to test against anyone and any street car, the only car we couldn't beat at the last track day was a full Porsche Carrera Cup car w Michelin racing slicks
(3) Currently getting over 450HP at the flywheel (not wheels, and no, have not been back to the dyno...we keep doing too many mods to keep running back to the dyno)
(4) M3 control arms are the real deal....best suspension mod the car can get for the price, has a direct impact on both daily driving (nice, crisp turn-in, solid feeling) and helped dial out a little more of the inherent understeer (we have it gone now...but took a long time to get there), and were able to do so without going to the wide-body kit on the front, as we wanted this car to stay looking like your nice, calm, cool daily driver.
