The car looks fantastic! your ride height is exactly how I like it, and really complements that aggressive wheel/tire combo.

I'm pretty happy with how she's lookin' now. I don't think I'll spend any cash on "looks" at this stage. (Your car is the CRAZY MASS MURDER MACHINE for sure.)

Thanks!

Once you have an LSD to compliment all of the suspension/power mods, you will basically have an "unofficial" M1! Money well spent my friend. I know who I'll ask when I get around to some more suspension mods after I install my Hotchkis front sway. If possible, get some vids up of how she performs.

Hopefully, something better! I imagine I'll out-power a stock version for sure. As for handling, who knows. I will get a LSD eventually, but they are big $ so it's being put off for now.

Thanks for the compliment!

Love your tire/wheel setup. Mean f*cking stance you're rockin'!

But I'm surprised that you can't get rid of the rubbin 100% with 18's and camber plates. I'm on 19's and 265/35 tire in the rear and slightly rolled fenders, and I only rub if I hit a pot hole....

Regardless, love your car. Would love to have the suspension setup you're running!

I would think any rubbing is not good at all. Maybe you should have kept the front helper springs?
The ride quality is exceptional considering the setup. It rides better than a stock M3. And, all other things being equal, will very likely out-handle one. This isn't my imagination, it's fact. How does that saying go again? ...Don't knock it, until you try it!

I can likely raise it up to 2" from the point it's at right now, regardless of having no helper springs. There's a lot of height to play with having this current setup. Finally, helper springs aren't needed for their intended purpose at all up front. (The rear could likely benefit from them though.)

Thanks very much!

I love the stance as well. It makes such a BIG difference in how it looks. But, the greatest benefit has definitely been the reduction in front end lift at speed. Considerably less air seems to be getting under the car. It really made a huge difference going down that last 1" or so. It feels much more stable at speed.

This being said, I do have the bit of rubbing. It's only on the passenger front side. And, only when hitting dips/bumps at speed. The reason is likely two-fold... First, I think the Hankooks run a bit wide for a 245/18. Second, the negative camber adjustment is not precisely the same on both sides. The passenger side has a bit less room for adjustment, so it's slightly off from the maximum negative setting I get on the driver side. I have not rolled the fenders. Though, the inner lip of the passenger front fender has been "rolled" a bit from the tire hitting it. It's a "natural" fender roll! LOL! There's no "damage" at all to it. And, nothing visible whatsoever.

I'm currently contemplating whether or not to raise her up an inch or two for the winter. My stock wheels, w/Sottozeros, are going back on soon. I'll also likely look into spacers to push the stock wheels out a bit.

Thanks again.

I LOVE the exhaust note. And, highly recommend it. Sorry, no videos. (I have yet to hear a video that accurately communicates the sound. I think they are pointless for evaluating sound. You need to hear them in person.)

Thanks very much!
