Will be 95% street, 5% track for me. I had my reasons for upgrading to this setup even for the street. Even stock, the rear suspension of the E9X sucks.

Struts + springs will put you close to a thousand, and they won't be matched to work well. Adjustable coilovers are over the $1,200 mark, and you'll still be using the weak bushing in the non-M control arm. For a bit more, I switched to the M3 strut design, have swift springs (linear and lighter material), camber plates + will improve the subframe bushing situation.

boss man working remotely accidentally sent out the full excel file. Normally I just get my book, which I got, but I also got some of the back end books etc. Everyone did. So we can see what everyone has made, their comp structure, etc.

The good news is my comp plan is actually rather good compared to others. The bad news for the company is people with the same sales goals/tenure have different comp rates which is bullshit.


AD 0.5%to 8M;1.5% 8-16M
BS 0.5% to 8M;1.65% 8-16M

BM 0.5% to 6M; 1.5% to 6-12M
CL 0.5% to 2.5M; 2.40% 2.5-5M
JBL 0.5% to 4M;1.75% 4-8M
JH 0.5% to 3M;2% 3-6M
JL 0.5% to 5M; 1.5% 5-10M
RD 0.5% to 2.5M; 2.5% 2.5-5M

There is a car show at Salvatore's on June 28th in Lawrence if anyone is interested. I will not be attending. DJ, BBQ, Beer tent, 50/50 raffle, etc.
