Not the best for traction & grip! It's all about compromise. Knowing I was putting on lowered, heavier duty coils (coil-overs in my case), to flatten & control the ride anyway, I opted for the E92 M3 middle ground. Not sure if this is the best but it sure feels good.
Tim, when are you coming up to the coast again? Need to drive your car.

And I yours! Long story, but probably not until early March at the earliest I'm certainly keen to meet up and check out your M a little more closely.
