Thanks for the tip but I am stuck with these ad08s for a while. I would have thought ad08s and the potenzas would be pretty much on par.

Once you mount up your E92 M3 rear end with solid bushings and swap in a 410 diff ratio you will go to #1 on the list. It's all about the hardware with heavy and relatively underpowered street sedans.

I have read your drag racing guide a few times. At this stage I am trying to get the best time I can with my regular street setup. I had actually had a look for those kosei wheels but couldnt find anywhere local that sells them. Tirerack does, but thats if they are still shipping to aus.
I was talking to Chris at advan yesterday and he gave me some good advice that its best to go on a Wednesday just after or prior an andra event so that the track has been prepared properly. I have heard from quite a few people that sydney dragway isnt always maintained properly.
I will see how 3.85 is before I go shorter. Those turner solid bushings look pretty good. I was hoping to have heard Justins opinion of them but it doesnt look he will be using them until next year. That said, being that I am putting in the whole subframe rather than just putting the bits'n'pieces onto a 135i subframe, it might be fine as is.
