BMW PS measurements here

Yearofthe1 · 12-13-2008, 09:45 AM

Below are the before and after pics of the center hub to fender measurements for the front wheels with the BMW performance suspension installed. I also included a pic of the car right now with the PS installed. I'm not sure how long the new suspension takes to settle, but I am seeing just over a centimeter of drop since the suspension was installed this past Wednesday. I wasn't looking to slam my car anyway, and I love the way the car handles now, but for those looking for the slammed effect, you won't get it with the BMW PS.

Looks good! I'm not a fan of slammed cars.

Still like the way it handles?

Does it still understeer badly? How much worse is the ride?

Looks good BTW, the perfect amount of drop.

Haven't had an issue with understeer yet, though it won't be until Spring that I can get it back on the track. The most surprising aspect as I've said before is that ride quality is NOT sacrificed with this suspension. This really is the suspension that should've come standard. The ride is very close to stock until you get into the high-speed twisties.
