The 1560kg from the third pic in the first post--very interesting, and confirmed by devotec as a before weight. Once again, our cars seem to be a bit lighter than the published specs. (Assuming that weigh station scale was properly calibrated.)

Exciting build. Looks great and I love the wheels. Good luck with it.

One other thought--do our cars come with too much nose-down rake from the factory? In devotec's above photos with the KW suspension installed and set up, his car has a more neutral stance, with the rear sitting low over the wheels. This looks proper, and is similar to what true race-prepped E92 M3s look like (Grand Am Rolex series, Continental series, various NASA club cars I've seen).
