'08 E92 DCT/EDC
79,053 miles
Solid rear subframe bushings.
Hotchkis F/R sway bars.
19" wheels for the street.
18" wheels for track.

The car is daily'd, but also tracked 5-7 times a year, so the priority isn't lap times.

I'd describe the use case/priority like:
"Don't spill the wife's "roady" on the way to the beach, and just have as much fun at the track as I can."

The Comfort setting had been working fine, nice and quiet, smooth and gooey.

But I had been reading about folks doing a reset on their EDC life and getting improvements in the Comfort setting, so being the dumbshit greedy idiot that I am, I had mine reset hoping for even more comfort.
And of course, it worked in reverse for me, and now Comfort is indistinguishable from Sport…UGH!

Earlier in the year I took a ride in an e90 with B6s on stock springs and 18" tires at Thunderhill.
That car, by comparison, soaked up kerbs like they weren't even there…my car (on 19s at the time) would've been airborn trying to match those lines.

So I decided to get a set of B6s and be done with EDC.
Did the install yesterday (stock springs), and did a 2 mile test drive this morning.

Measured the fender well height before starting the swap, and remeasured after the short test drive (+6mm at each fender).

The test drive was just a coffee run, so 25-35mph over some cracked and craggily roads.
The B6s are not as smooth as the EDCs used to be on the Comfort setting, but about the same after the idiotic reset session….UGH!

I'll drive on them some more and I have a track day scheduled at Sears Point on 11/20, so I'll see how it goes.

To be continued…
