You can clearly see the ebrake cable. Just look for the spring. Also, not a drum in sight. Looking for that, I came across one of the few photoshoots I did. Damn, I miss it already! |

Wow. Well, I think it depends on exactly where. On the whole, I can't imagine we're as bad as Detroit, for instance. If the car I get has 19"s, I might sell them and replace with 18"s.

Alright, not the Audi but their "weird" anyway.

I wouldn't use a HANS without a proper harness and fixed back seat. I wouldn't use a harness without a proper fixed back seat and roll bar. These things are all dependent on each other and work as a "system". The HANS is designed to save your neck when you're strapped into a car without an "release" for energy like a 3 point or a Schroth ASM.

I have used the PF 01 for the last year and a half, no problems. I recall several post about bad experiences with Hawks, but I have not used them on the M3. I do use them (H10) on my 525 and found them to be exceptional.

If so, how are they in terms of noise and disc wear on the street? I've been using the old el-cheepo Hawk HP+. OK for the tracks I am running (Tremblant + Calabogie). But very noisy for street use. |

I have pf01 for my PFC BBK and those things are loud! It actually hurts my eardrums when I'm braking on the street. I would not recommend using them for DD at all! Performance wise, they are great. I switch out from the Z compound to the pf01s just before I head out to the track and then switch them back to the Z pads as soon as I get home.

Oh and disc wear is good on the track, the pads themselves seem like they'll last through 3-5 more weekends. From what I've read, they'll eat the rotors on the street though.

If you are using race pads on the street, you are compromising your braking performance as the compounds are not designed to work at regular DD temperatures. I always worry about people thinking that using race pads on the street is "aggressive", whatever that actually means. It seems to intimate mad driving skillz or whatever, when actually, they are potentially making their car perform worse. It is the opposite of using street pads on the track. I suspect that hybrid pads are the same as all-season tires...okay, but not really good at anything! [/RANT] Please continue...

this statement is incorrect. an all season tire does lose in winter to a true snow tire and to a summer tire in the dry. but a set of hybrid pads will outperform OEM or similar on the street and track. the hybrid pads, say my ds250s, work very well at lower temps used on the street and work even better once heated at the track. they also arent too bad on rotors. the trade off really is a nonissue.

yes its a module to prevent you from getting codes with the coilover not a way to have edc with the coilovers. you have to use the manual knobs to adjust the compression and rebound of the new suspension.

I would try to find some manual cloth seats...they are better than the leather seats but you'll still want harnesses.
I like the stock non-EDC suspension, just needs front camber plates so you don't tear through tires. I'm actually debating putting in the Dinan Stage I that I have in my garage. Brakes? I just bled the lines and swapped in some PF01s. I'm now SURE I will go with a BBK if for no other reason, pad changes are x1000 times easier that fiddling with retainer clips, calipers, and lining up guide pins. Maybe I've been spoiled by the stoptech BBK on my 330 but the OEM brakes, even with PF01s, don't inspire confidence. I like to have confidence in my brakes.

IMO, EDC is better for track and street. It is actually one the best improvments I found over my E46. Our steets are pretty bad up here, and EDC in comfort makes the car much more enjoyable as a DD. At the track, the dynamic aspect of EDC brings additional control to the suspension. If you plan in going with a coil over, forget about EDC, it will be a waste of money. But the stock suspension is plenty good for the track .
Another element you should consider for your M3, is getting the seats with adjustable side bolsters. You can deflate the lumbar support and tighten the side bolsters at the track, the seat will hold in place pretty good. I did not have them in my E46 and I would slide around a lot more in my seat. |

not exactly. no aftermarket coilover continues to use edc. a coilover that is compatable with edc just includes a module to clear the code not make edc work. a non edc car doesnt need this module so it comes without it, hence the 2 different kits. one for edc equiped cars and one for non edc. both cars will just be adjustable on the body of the coilover after the conversion and not use edc at all. the button wont work.

Just came back from the track in my E90 and the side bolster was digging into my left side all weekend from trying to keep myself in the seat.
