^^^^ That's on my to-do list. Just haven't felt like getting out the computer and remembering what it involves.

Does anyone use an OEM double-pane/fog-free helmet visor? I'm not talking about those stick-on things or the sprays, I mean a legit one from Bell or whoever.
If so, do you have problems with glare or reflections of your face on it?

installing JRZ RS2 in a couple of weeks and buying additional parts that I need to source. Do I need thrust sheets for front and rear or just front or none at all. I'm going with a 6" spring and no helper spring, with JRZ does the spring unseat like it does with KW when both wheels are up in the air? I don't think I use them on my KW (thrust sheets).

Did anyone else get into the Speed Secrets "braking and corner entry" webinar? I wasn't able to participate, but I paid to get access to the recordings. I'm only ten minutes in and I can tell it's going to be fantastic.

Nobody can answer your question about the spring unseating without a helper. That's dictated by the travel of the shock and your ride height. Think about it. If your dampers are designed to run at up to stock ride height and you slam them 2" below that then at full droop that extra travel is taken up by the helper. However you can try to spec your planned ride height with JRZ and they can adjust the internals accordingly. However keep in mind that there is a very small margin of error there - it seems to me you would need to install, set ride height, remove and send back for them to get it perfect. There's a reason why most suspension kits come with helper springs. I have had multiple discussions with PSI in Sonoma about this topic. Eventually I will send my suspension into them to have them adjust the internals to allow me to delete the helper at my ride height.

Regarding full droop, I just didn't want such a huge gap where in that case I would just throw on the helper springs.

I've used them when I raced motorcycles and never had any glare issue.

Worked with a company in Cali called Ciro Designs. Not sure if any of you west coast guys have worked/heard of them. Had them design me a 69.5 x 10 wing element with custom struts and end plates specific to BMW CCA club racing rules for HP class. They use APR for the element work custom to your specs and do all in house fab and CAD for everything else. Wing element, struts, hardware, and end plates turned out great. Awesome communication and price

I know it's a different application, but we have to deal with the same contributing factors. These vids are always interesting to me.

Shakedown with aero removed, old Pirelli scrubs, and kw clubsport. Wanted one test day to get back into the groove and feel the clubsports before switching to jrz. Was kind of a scary day since most of the wiggling was in the high speed you don't wanna go off there spots lol. I noticed I can feel the rear end much more quicker now.
Pros, can correct immediately without tail coming out. Cons, I could be correcting when in fact it's just a squat waiting to set and naturally grip. I made the mistake of going out with my aero settings and it was hairy haha. Adjusted my suspension completely and it got more stable at the end of the day. Settings were way different, for example I had compression in front softer than the rear with aero but had to have it stiffer than the rear without the aero.

Well my daily 97 F150 decided to crap out on me (rod knock), so I figured the only reasonable response would be to nab an E46 330i ZHP :P
