That's what she said!

Key points Opt-P is making are valid with regards to the strut suspension... as I stated earlier with the suspension diagram, you would need to alter the set angle of the strut/shock to the spindle to add tire clearance if a rub is indicated. Slotting the bolt holes on the strut is one way, but...

I love S04's ride, handling, and wear characteristics over most of these listed(including the best from Conti not listed)... but MPSS is definitely better if track days are more often in your rotation.

Whether installing springs, or even on the stock suspension... there are two bolts connecting the strut to the spindle. There is the tiniest tolerance of play between them... loosen the two bolts, and rock the spindle top outward and bottom inward. This is easy enough with wheel on(pulling at...

I am sorry if you feel I was being condescending in any way, and I definitely wasn't only talking to you, I was using your example for the point... I thought I was a great driver for nearly 20 years of driving too, was even decently repeatable at the drag strip in my day of playing with that...

you have some seriously conflicting goals... want to run 500 rwhp, but don't want to chance headers and be CARB legal, don't want to run E85 because of mileage? You want the best of all worlds it seems... maybe you should just learn to drive the car first, do a few drag nights, then a few real...

Although maybe not knee-slapper smilie worthy, I do agree with Carlos' preferred use of "Design" here... The Camaro's GM designed wheels were copied and produced with a better process by a company called MRR "Design" Wheels, then marketed to the right community by N4SM. That is a good amount of...

Well sometimes tastes are different... some people have a better sense of style than others. It's just the way of the world. ;)

yep, looks like they do, and do have them there too... https://lmr.com/item/LRS-1130CA-K/ford-mustang-shelby-gt350-center-cap-kit

you aren't hurting anyone's feelings with that sweet setup! that's an excellent drop too...which springs?

RTR Tech5 look better than that $7200 option anyway, and for probably $6k less with possibly less weight to boot.

Anthony exactly mirrored my thoughts... Although I wouldn't have put Baer at "pure trash" level, as you could get a few cents back dropping them off at the local recycling center after they cracked on you. Like I said, they look pretty on the street and save weight over stock rotors... but...

No, not for racing/track use... as I stated in the post above, you would be better off on-track use with a floating non-drilled rotor like the Girodiscs. The Baer look pretty and save some weight for the street, but that's about as far as their performance gains go.

I would swap out a couple things personally aside from switching to BMR's stuff mentioned above. ;) Instead of the blowfish, I'd go for the lighter and more thorough shifter Steeda tri-ax. I'd also skip those downforce wheels and go for the 20x10 sve wheels on all fours myself. But if you do...

not sure about that... the only r8 rotors hitting the 15"(380mm) sizing of the PP brakes up front are the ceramics. Maybe redrilling to 5x114.3 lets you mount the 365mm r8 disks onto the standard GT 4piston fronts? as far as the Baer go, they look nice, but I'd prefer a real floating rotor...

They will technically work just fine... you will be running same rolling diameter front and rear instead of slightly taller rear tire the stock setup runs, making the rear end geared slightly shorter than the stock rolling diameter. But shouldn't be too noticeable.

Just make sure the place you're using handles bmw M3s and you'll be fine... if they are familiar with aligning those they'll be able to handle the s550 similarly well. The e92/3 on the oem sport springs are some low-sitting oem mofos, and beemer techs handle alignments just fine on those around...

could even be a dust shield just a hair too close to a rotor... might have bumped it manhandling the wheels on there.

No problemo, glad to help... The thing with SSR and other JDM and high end multipiece wheel makers is they have the various disk/face and even lip/step options for so many setups... makes looking at all the variables that much more important for the end result you want.
