Will do. I was told it works for our Ds but who knows for sure.
If the 335d is running an OEM brace then would be restricting the use of the M3 one? |

Yes it is definitely not a "must have piece" over many of the other suspension ones. Reading reviews, it's more of a complimentary piece that brings the entire final package together.

Rye NO CAN DO specially here in Puerto Rico trust me on this one!! I had the Sport Suspension on my 02 MCS and ended adding the FSDs to SUAVE the impact I promised myself to never get it on my next car, If I lived in Florida like I use to then I would go there but not here on my island

Still not sure if I'm doing the LSD this year. I could but at some point I need to chill with the $$$$ being thrown into the car so it will most likely be done next spring.
Options would be: Ivo @ Columbus Auto Rocco @ RMP Speedstar |

Now my concern is if the tires will hold up to track abuse or if I need to get a dedicated track setup. I forgot about CS16s, these or the arcs would probably pair well with some sport cups. Let me know how you like them! |

I've read better reviews with the Pirelli P-Zero's opposed to the Michelin PSS. So I bought a set of Pirelli P Zero Nero A/S's, and I enjoy them a lot. They grip pretty nice and are super quiet. They are also $20 less per tire opposed to the PS+.

a/s = n/s I did have the Pirelli P-zero hi-per summer rubber on a tidy Volvo C30 with sport suspension, lil whip with an amazing chassis (euro focus). Anyhow they were GREAT tires!!! But again, it wasn't an a/s. $20 per corner is nice. good luck with them! Michelin has a $70 rebate right now, which was a bonus http://www.michelinman.com/promotions.page I will have pics tonight.

In 2-3 weeks I'll be adding my Vorshlag adjustable camber plates and M3 strut brace kit. At that time I'll also swap out my adjustable sway end links for ones that are a bit longer. Then another alignment.
It's just ridiculous how the car handles now after the M3 suspension bits and Megan Racing toe arms on top of the KW V3s that I added last spring. |
