A little more lightness was added today for my non-instagram peeps. Ditched the rear trunk panels and added some titanium hardware to my Cusco body brace. Even if you don't have the Cusco brace, you have these body braces in place and the three torx bolts are oem. Also finished the engine bay hardware (steering reservoir was previously incomplete). I also ditched the battery bar since it was designed to keep the oem 55lb battery in place in the event of an accident. It is non structural.
I'm going back for the carpet back there, ran out of time today. Just a little over 9lbs shed today.

I think the stubs were for the coolant reservoir and the power steering clamp. I used the larger washer on a few of them. the coolant reservoir tabs were a little bigger and the larger washers just looked right. ps reservoir got a smaller washer on top for no reason other than it looked good.

The curves presented are not based on actual testing. Theses curves were analytically predicted using a CFD analysis. The results are only as good as the assumptions used in the analysis - GIGO. Without performing some type of correlation between analytical results and test data then you do not know how accurate the predicted results are. Just be careful when stating something is based on “testing” when it actually has absolutely nothing to do with real world testing.

I have KW's currently and their perch is a real pain to do any ride height adjustments with.

Yes. I’m currently using them on my f82 M4, e92 M3 and f22 240ix. It does make changing the height in the rear easy. However, I’d recommend the GC f8x and e9x articulating rear spring perch.

Anything easier these stupid KW ones is a win! Would love the GC one but $400 is a tough pill to swallow on them lol. Glad to know the BW one is a good buy too.

I understand. Unfortunately for me, the GC articulating rear spring perch was released just a few weeks after buying the BW rear height adjusters for the M4 a few years back. However, I wouldn’t have bought multiple versions of the same BW adjusters if I didn’t like them. I’m swapping the rear setup on the M4 to a true coilover setup this spring-summer.

I have the parts so it’s just getting around to doing the install. Still deciding whether to convert the MCS 2WR damper on the rear of the F22 240ix to a true coilover setup.

Unless I'm missing something, 265/660-18 Pirelli slicks should fit my 18" Apex EC7 square setup on stock ZCP suspension, right?

275/35-18 NT01s rub a little up front close to full lock but that's not a worry on track.
