Expectations for M3 bits

TxBeem · 02-26-2013, 07:50 PM

What should I expect in performance and ride quality when I have my M3 front sway, front control arm installed? I ride on 19 non rft and performance shacks and spring combo. My shocks are 40k miles old though.

I may post my results after the middle of March. Just prior to that I will have all the items from the M3 suspension kit installed (except the strut tower brace). Unfortunately for comparison purposes with your case, I will be doing a lot more at the same time so it won't be a perfect match with yours to judge by.

Ride quality won't suffer with traditional tires. NVH will increase a little bit. You can expect a reduced understeer and tramlining, better turn in and steering feedback. It's all been covered for the last 6 yrs.
