Agreed, solid mounts should be for track use only.

This kit is not suitable for street use, unless you are 20 years old and you don't care about all the noises.
Track/S... you made this comment awhile back -
"BMW does not use 4-point bracket for another reason, unrelated to noise.
Neither M4 GT4 nor the M2CSR, which are racing cars, use 4-point brackets
"

Can you expand on why? Have you talked to a BMW engineer, race engineer or where is your statement of fact coming from?

Seriously?! How old are you guys... lol.

Outside of 'gear whine' volume increase on the highway, incrementally growing when speed climbs north of 70mph... I'm not sure what's all this other 'unbearable' stuff is you're referring too. But what do I know, as I'm driving around with this kit on the street.

I can't find what kit you have in this thread, where's it from?

From my Googling the Millway was the cheapest lift kit I could find, but it might be a different story when exported.

Not bothered. Had asked for follow-up when you originally posted but you did not respond. Seeing you're active on this thread again thought I'd have another chance to hear your insight.

It is curious as to why BMW's race prepped car would not use and you imply you know. Interesting stuff, no?

I don't know why BMW Motorsport doesn't use bracket with 2 attachment points, if I had that information I would say so. I had not seen your previous message sorry.

Ahh... got it. Thanks for clarifying.

Thought you were hinting at more, as you always have good insight, detail or whatever. More than obvious you are well beyond the typical poster on this board and I appreciate.
