also switched out the cats in their x-pipe without notice and then claimed to "not use a cheap cat" when they very literally switched to a cheaper cat  - https://www.m3post.com/forums/showpost.php?
This isn't to say Bilstein B6s aren't better than stock, but rather building off your notes on those and more of a commentary of whether you should trust Evolve in this situation. |
I remember when they first made that statement about Mahle RBs
Then they followed it up with but we will still continue to use oem RBs because there’s nothing wrong with using oem RBs…so is Mahle the best or is oem still the best option? Can’t piss off the people you just talked into using oem RBs.
For the f8x, they didn’t know why the ride height of cars would increase by at least 1/3” after installing the Evolve/Bilstein B6 dampers. If they don’t understand that, how much damper tuning experience do they have? My guess is they told Bilstein to make comfort more comfortable and sport+ more sporty. That’s part of the problem with EDC. EDC is trying to find the optimal damping rate to eliminate disturbances as quickly as possible and this is built into the edc closed-loop controller, not a specific damping curve/rate. You may limit the peak damping force in comfort by limiting peak voltage but edc is still trying to damp out oscillations as quickly as possible.
