YUP will be running 3.0 Neg camber . Will see a little fender liner contact at full compression according to others running them.
I might end up running a 3rd set of rims with the 18x10 fronts and 18x11 rears sometime in the future. There are so many more options in the 18" sizes. Sq or staggered... It will be a few weeks before I can stretch the M2 out. Its still cold up here and I only drive it once a week or so right now. As soon as I can I'll add some thoughts on the TCK kit...

I've got them set for street right now. You can tell its a linear spring vs the crap that was in there from the factory. Is a smoother motion than the OEM setup, but is firmer the first bit of compression (400lb linear spg front) I'm ok with a firmer setup, but others might want to go with the 300/600 kit. I have my first HPDE on 4/24 on my home track (75+ days there) Last, I'm going to have my DME bench flashed this Wend and have ECUTEK installed. Not sure if we will have time for a dyno pull, but will certainly post a review I'll post my thoughts after that...

Color me impressed!! Can't wait to hear your feedback over the course of this season on all the different settings and parts installed.
Can you shed some light on the following... "Eton B100 Drop in Front & Center Speakers JL Audio C2-400x's Rear Speakers" - Did have to change the OEM amp? How big of a difference are we talking here to clarity on the low end? "Wagner Euro 200CEL HFC's" - Does it throw a code without a tune? How is the smell? "No Dazzle High Beam assist (for cars with LED lighting package only)" - Is this the same as having the high beam move around the vehicle in front? Tried to get this coded but I don't think the individual who did it was successful. |

Sorry I did not respond to all 3 of your questions. Check out this thread for lots of info on the stereo options: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...=eton+speakers The cats work fine, no smell. and they open up the exhaust about 20-25% in noise levels with the flaps open. Yes they throw O2 Sensor codes that I clear with my AK Motion dash unit.

I’m running same c/o kit and camber plates. Your ps4s in 265/35r19 up fronts clear the liner ok? I have a bit of rub on my worn out
Pss in same size so was thinking of dropping to 255/35 up front for more clearance. I could just raise it up a bit I suppose. What’s your height? 595 and 600mm per bmw spec for their c/o’s is where I set mine at. I do have the softer springs though. |

Hammer,
I'm on the OEM 19's right now but will be switching to 265/30 & 295/30 19 PS4S's soon. My track setup is on 18's...clear fine

Ah yes, 30 profile, makes sense. I daily drive it, so I want to stick to 35 series.
I really like your set up. Did you do the whole corner balance thing? Or just match the drop on each side and then wheel alignment. I still have to get a wheel alignment on mine (not many km’s driven since install due to lock down). I’ll probably match height side to side with 175 lbs in drivers seat and then get wheels aligned. I’m currently off side to side about 2mm. Fender to bottom of rim method. |

I wont CB until late this season.
Lots of sorting to do with the suspension, camber and rim widths. I always CB last. I've spent most of the last 20 + years driving on Hoosiers, BFG's and several other assorted DOT R Compound tires. These newer "cheater" tires ala 052's, RE71R's or BFG Rival 1.5's are so much closer to the R Compounds now. I'm really looking forward to using the Yoko 052's and then deciding to jump over to HOHO's, or R1's if I miss the added mechanical grip... As for the 30 series street tires my roads locally are pretty good. I'm not to concerned with potholes, and broken pavement so 30's will be fine. I also like the PS4S's because you can horse around on them easily on the street and they are hard to wear out...Last they're one of the few tire combos you can get 265/30 and 295/30's in.

Even on the street they're not bad in the race setting. Biggest change from full soft to Race is on smaller bumps and uneven pavement. There is much more feedback and a firmer response from the shocks. On the PS4's its ok, but on the A052's I'd want to run the full soft setup. I'll be getting it on track in the next 3-4 weeks and will add some further thoughts then.

I've read on this forum that some coilover setups can be better (more supple/better conforming/softer?) on the street than stock. I assume this is under max "soft" settings. Is this your experience so far?
Coilovers are likely in my near future and these are my main goals: a) no harsher ride than stock, while on soft settings. b) major improvement on track (less lean on corners, better grip), while on "race" settings. I'm sure the answer is not as simple as "yes, do it and you'll achieve both". I'll keep reading and look forward to your next update! |

Was Folding Mirrors with comfort access (option of instant fold on lock or hold to fold on lock) in bimmercode? I had them fold up every time I locked the car but ended up disabling it because I don't want to cause damage to the mirror motors.
I'd much rather have them fold after holding the key fob
