I dont think they even knew or will ever know. They will not be receiving a call back from me. This really is a lesson to me to just stick with one reputable shop instead of visiting a few. I work a ton and it is difficult for me to get my cars to shops during their business hours. Ptech thankfully is open Saturdays, so everything should fit together perfectly.

We have to do a shoot with ur car when you get your lip spoiler and diffuser on.

Never again. I dont want to put the shop on blast or anything, but I am pretty disappointed. With just correcting the shock and some small suspension tweaks and alignment work my old coilovers feel new.

The ASTs will be going on next week.

There's a reputable M3 shop down here in SoCal that installed someone's Stoptech BBK upside down. The member made a post with pictures asking why his car isn't stopping as well as it's supposed to and then someone posted saying his BBK is installed upside down. He drove on the freeways that way to.

Small timeline update:
Stoptech Brake kit will be out of paint and ready to ship 4/16
Powerflex Rear Upper Shock Mount will be delivered 4/15
A small parts orders from Reeves BMW arrives 4/12
Secret Mods arriving around 4/19

Performance Technic will be doing the coilover install and stoptech install at the end of the month. Its nice to have everything nailed down and I am glad everything is coming together. After the mods above, I will be moving onto the interior and then a few small performance mods.

This is hardly a cool update but I have lots of bigger stuff right around the corner.

Powerflex rear upper shock mounts. I needed 12mm ones, not OEM or 10mm. I opted for the 'black' firmer ones.

WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! that is awesome!!!

I was super into the original starcraft and broodwars. I played countless hours of it and later got way into Diablo 2. Starcraft 2 took so long to come out and I never got into it. I have been very tempted to get it recently though. I do worry if I get starcraft, I will loose out on my other hobbies, warhammer and shooting. ha.

Im finally getting some aftermarket downpipes back on the car. I originally was Cobb Stage 2+ but with a warranty and needing some work, I removed the Macht Schnell Catless Downpipes for the service. After the dealer service, I tried Cobb Stage 1+ and was very impressed with it. Stage 1+ is really good tune and I loved my car didnt smell like a motorboat. I ended up selling the MS downpipes and staying stage 1+.

I currently dont daily drive my car and really wanted to get back to stage 2+ and try out some E30 maps so I began looking for a new set of downpipes.

I found this set of AR high flow race catted downpipes for a great price on e90 post. These will allow me to run the maps and get more power but will cut down on gas smell. I know they will give slightly less power than the catless, but in the greater scheme of my car, I am not worried. I also have an early 1er, so there is a chance my car will not throw a CEL on a stock map.... but I'm not counting on it.

The craftsmanship on these is very solid. I will write a further review once I get them on the car this weekend. AST 4200's, Braille Battery and these downpipes will be getting installed this weekend by Performance Technic.
