If you're not running neck restraint, then I recommend getting the shoulder pads too! These vertical belts dig into the shoulder pretty good...




Btw, great times and cool videos! Looking forward to contribute some after I get my brakes/camera setup figured out.

2008 BMW E92 M3  [0.00]
Track/Course: Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca
Best Lap Time: 1:47.4
Brake Pads: Stoptech
Tires (Size & Model): 245/35/19 front 265/35/19 rear Michelin Pilot Super Sport w stock 220M wheels
Suspension: AST 5100
Other Mods: Macht Schnell pulleys, Macht Schnell test pipes, BMW M Performance Exhaust, Stoptech ST60/ST40, full interior

First time trying out my AST 5100 coilovers during my first track day at MRLS. I entered the Low Int group with Speed SF since it was my first time, so naturally I would hit some traffic. Still have some corners to clean up and some time to shed:

Took me a second to figure out you told the data system that 3rd is 2nd

2 minutes is kinda really fast for a 1.75 ton car with only 450ish bhp

I love my KW setup, the car drives like a go kart, nimble and very predictable.
However, I'd love to -finally- have the ultimate coil over comparison on my car to see and prove all those claims out there! MCS vs. KW that would be very interesting for everybody.
The MCS people might be interested?

yeah, that OBD gear show is not right.
The car is 3530 lbs (with me ready for track) and I only have 350hp (average by TT rules) on the rear axle. You can see that I only make 146mph on the back straight. The vettes in my class do 150+ .

150+ and their CG's are about 4" lower. Must be fun to pound on those guys in a taxi

If I know Lex (and I don't very well, but I did meet him once and own his stuff for a while) I bet they'd be game, they're in the ATL area IIRC
