Did you do anything unusual with the alignment specs?

No… as a reminder I do have 12/15 spacers.

You had no alignment done after the springs were installed?

Yeah, I remember the other part

I had an alignment done. You asked if I did anything special with the alignment - no. It’s neutral. No camber or toe adjustments outside of neutral.

Try taking it at a slight angle… it changes everything

That is at an angle.

So, still having the springs sitting in the box, and reached out to two more independent shops, specializing in German cars. The lowest install quote 1,600.-....what is this with Texas and overcharging?

Anyway, I guess it will go with that before the springs get moldy in the box

My advice is pay a little extra and do it at a BMW dealership so they don’t negate a warranty claim if you have an issue in the future.

Just a thought about some modifications. Expect only a few percent of the owners can get anywhere near stressing the stock suspension on the track let alone the street.

Think any who have had a ride with a pro driving at PCD or PDS should understand how much further these cars can be pushed as delivered than most are capable of.

Would be a bit crazy to try to push 8/9 or 10 tenths on the street.

The stock setup has too much rebound and body lean to enjoy in the way I drive. I would put it at 7/10 on the street safely. With the aftermarket springs I can push it more safely and confidently and enjoyably. More like my M3 drove out of the box.
