I think we might have similar snowboards

I must admit, price was the deciding factor in choosing the Garagistic endlinks (under $130 shipped: LINK). After lowering the front of the car 15mm on Ohlins R&T coilovers, the new required endlink length to remove preload from the swaybar (measured with suspension fully loaded), was just 0.25" less than OEM.

I went back and forth on whether I should even bother. But ultimately decided to finalize the suspension job the "right" way. That said, I wasn't about to spend $250+ on something I didn't really need.

I read positive reviews of Garagistic endlinks from the E3X community and decided to take the chance. Quality seems great, but time will tell on how they hold up.

Incredible - you will NOT regret it! Performance aside, the complete lack of brake dust is something I will never stop appreciating. Had 300 miles between my last washes and not a lick of dust. I take my 350R around the block and the wheels are covered.

Love gold on gold, but they also look SOOO good behind black. I just had to have both

I ordered FaRKle! kidney grill mesh to install. I ordered extra mesh from Amazon to install in the lower grills and the underneath to protect the oil cooler.
I read up on Malakas findings and design of getting fresh air to the air intakes. I was surprised to find that the intakes get air from the hot engine bay, and not fresh air. He collaborated with Commanderwiggin to manufacture and sell.
Both of these upgrades require the removal of the bumper. In the end, I’m very satisfied with the finished product.

WOW this makes me so excited to see. I never posted all of my data (blame my actual day job) but there were significant differences in IAT. Also, the shape and airflow was computer tested in a very high end aeronautical simulation lab, but as you could see, making it fit was a total beotch. Props to Commanderwiggin for taking over production in such a high quality manner.

Taking off the bumper is not as difficult as it would seem. I am not super seasoned in taking cars apart and I had it off more than a dozen times to fit the parts. Thank you COVID for all the time at home.

Looks awesome in there thrilla

Can I ask where you ordered the CS black wheels? I'm possibly looking for a set without the m performance logo to throw on my E92 as well. Also currently debating an Apex set given their sale

Purchased from another member on here. They occasionally pop up, and can snag a used set for $2.5-3K depending on rubber…would just keep an eye out and a set will eventually surface. And I agree going OEM CS is the way to go…just a slight bit cleaner!
