    There's something to remember:

    Not everyone needs race-track performance on their way around town. Coilovers are adjustable.
    Lastly, I went out of my way to make the best of my desired ride height. No one, not even myself, will argue this suspension versus a track-prepped setup. That is not the point. The point is to make the best of being low, and we've done just that.

    As far as the stacks, read up. I'm not running anything from bimmerworld. Its all factory BMW equipment.

    As for the power, as posted in my other thread, I said I'd post a dyno sheet next time I have it on the dyno. I'll be using a Dyno Dynamics dyno, no Dynojet bullshit.
    Also worth noting, on a Dyno Dynamics dyno, E46 M3s put down ~250. Sometimes even lower.

    I don't get where the negativity is coming from. Cool to look at instead of drive? The only "negative" on my car is the angle of my control arms. Everything else is set up properly.

    I'm sensing a different attitude from you since you likely didn't expect me to read your posts over here. Kinda bummed on that. :-(



    And lastly, Alex, you drive like a complete fool.
    For the record, we had people on the sides of the road for quite some distance that could watch for oncoming cars.


    Thanks for the love from everyone else.

    I think I made it clear your car is for stance and show and not for the track and that it was clear I knew your goal was not what you're reaction suggests here.
    I'm sorry if you somehow thought I was comparing your car to a track car, and downplaying it for not being as good when I thought it was clear I noted it was not that...
    The truth to my reasoning (sorry I didn't elaborate) is I just see you're using hardcore track equipment, and backing it with claims like it drives like "sports car should," which is a fallacy if you ask me but that's opinion and if you think that's how a sport car should turn then more power toya .
    Anyhow, you follow up admitting one of the most essential components to the suspension is wrong, and the spring rates are extremely hard. If the suspension doesn't make the tires happy, the car won't turn well, and the tires are stretched and not functioning properly to begin with which further adds to the problem in the suspension. Sorry for expressing my opinion about this set up, but you talk a lot of this new set-up and how it handles like it's "on rails" and I am not impressed with that.
    This IS NOT important though, because the post complemented you for your achievements to begin with. That impressed me. I know what your goals were and I know what you achieved. Again, great for the community into this.




    As far as the stacks, read up. I'm not running anything from bimmerworld. Its all factory BMW equipment.
    Sorry for assuming it was B.W, didn't think anyone would go another stock route after seeing how long it took UUC. I watched the video, I see where you said you wired it for 3ys. My bad. However, Regardless where it is from, what dyno and who tuned it that doesn't change my original speculation about the stacks.

    I don't get where the negativity is coming from. Cool to look at instead of drive? The only "negative" on my car is the angle of my control arms. Everything else is set up properly.
    ..... Let opinions be opinions. The message is what matters

    Sweet car but this is for show if you ask me, it just happens to go pretty well which is huge for the scene that's into this style
    I love the attempt to make the car handle well, it really caters to what people hate about stance

    I'm sensing a different attitude from you since you likely didn't expect me to read your posts over here. Kinda bummed on that. :-(
    Sorry man, I really lurk BF.c. and don't ever post in heavy detail outside of the G.A section. I'm going to ignore the fact that you think "i'm dodging" or that nonsense, I don't have time to get into that bullshit. If you know me you'll know which forum I most frequently post on and take part in forum discussions etc. etc and that's the one where I know the majority of the members.


    Thanks for the love from everyone else.
    There's no need to play a victim here. You got love from me, just like the past, i'm tough to please and speak my mind and your car impresses me like the others. It's my fault if that was not as clear as I could've been, but not everyone is going to complement everything about it. If I post it's not going to be OMGZ SWEET, it'll be something...
    I'll make it more clear for you next time, but I suppose I assumed you already got the hint your work and creativity impresses me which I repeated in my O.P
