Some updates - Front Tension Arm Bushings and Sway bar links were replaced - suspension should handle a bit sharper with these mods, along side with the drop.

when you get a chance. Would like to know how the ride comfort compares between MP coilovers vs stock suspension?

thanks!

Will do I once I get the car back, lots of goodies going on the car right now.

[Detailers Domain]

got some updated photos from Rogue Engineering prior to the car getting an alignment.

Nice clean install co's are in, ss brake lines are in, adjustable sway bar links.


car dropped wheels looking nice and on point.

Nice! From your swaybar link photo it looks like the front is set as low as it will go?

[Detailers Domain]

it can go a little lower.

[ilyah]

looking great... any feedback on MP Coilover vs. stock suspension for DD?

Thanks

Very nice (suspension and wheels) !

The only ugly thing is the useless amber front bumper reflector. But thanks to iND there is a solution, at least when you live in the USA, outside USA the shipping cost are ruining the deal.

Imagine you nice car without the ugly things !

Hi,

Can you please comment on the Rogue tension arm bushings? On my old car, replacing the stock bushings (which are incredibly soft) with poly bushings made the car feel so much more alive. I am considering doing this to my M2 but am unsure if I want to go with monoball bushings or their press in aluminum/urethane ones.

What is NVH like with monoball bushings, and what is the expected lifespan of the monoball ones vs. the press in bushings?

Your m2 looks phenomenal. I had a deal to get those same BBS wheels before the seller backed out on me.

[Detailers Domain]

it's much tigher I love them. where are you located...if you are around you can check out the cars back to back.

lmk maybe I can work a deal with you on the bbs I have a set available for sale brand new in the box.

Is the suspension set at the bmw recommended setting or you went lower?

[BurpZilla]

beautiful! can you please PM me a price also?

the settings are factory but to go lower in the rear we did not install the adjustable perches.

Understood, since it looked to low on the rear to be the Mperformance coilovers.
I have these also mounted and have the recommended height from BMW (595 mm and 600 mm).
On front I can drop additional 10 mm but on rear i have reached max.
To conclude: original vs Mperformance in lowering with standard recommended height;
Front: 25 mm (1") possible to go to 35 mm
Rear: 15-20 mm
Cheers

DD,

Did you fit adjustable sway bar links at the back as well or stay with OEM rear sway bar links ?

So is the rear spring sat in the stock upper cup and rubber pad?

Would have to be as there's no way to locate the top of the spring otherwise.

if you use the track settings, there will be little to no weight transfer at license friendly speeds on the road, leading to a pretty anodyne driving experience in bends. How much softer you go depends on where and how you normally drive. I'm currently running 2 clicks softer all round than the recommended road settings as it makes it much easier to get the car moving around in bends on the relatively tight and twisty rural routes I try to take. Jetbill's shock dyno thread suggests that this setting is still stiffer than the stock dampers though...
