2. coilovers and camber plates (should be done together) 3. solid sub/diff bushings. (should be done together) you'll save on some alignment labor if you do two and three together. e93 bar? meh

Got my helmet signed by James Clay and Bill Auberlen at the GT World Challenge event at COTA last weekend. Bill was supposed to drop by the medical center later on to sign the trim on my E46, but I guess he forgot or didn’t feel like it :/
M2 CSR. It’s replacing the M240iR. |

I'm surprised so many put front monoballs above solid rear subframe bushings. I felt the most benefit in terms of controlling suspension movements from rear subframe and diff bushings.

Also, I would advocate skipping monoballs and go straight for replacing the whole tension strut https://www.splparts.com/products/fr...x-e8x-f8x.html |

In that case you'd just do camber plates first to save tyres and maybe monoballs since you'll need an alignment anyway. Then the rest all at once, buy new perches from Vorshlag/GC to suit the dampers/coilovers etc.
Point is, spreading costs doesn't really save you anything. Went from just camber plates to everything in one swoop. No regrets. Anybody coded off dynamic braking in the DSC controller and have good feedback?

Assuming the event I’m going to in two weeks doesn’t get cancelled... I’ll get to drive on it (not in an M3, but an 86) soon.

Solid subframe and diff bushings (do them at the same time) Front monoballs Coilovers E93 sway (put above coilovers if doing an adjustable set) I'd recommend getting a set of adjustable sway bars, like Hotchkis. Do them at the same time you do the solid bushings since you'll need to drop the subframe anyways that's the best time to replace the rear sway bar. Front is easy and can be done whenever.. Rear subframe bushings have a much bigger positive effect on track then front monoballs. Get's rid of all the rear end squirm, puts the power down better, more stable rear end, more confidence inspiring = faster. While a good set of coilovers makes a big difference, it's also the most expensive item. You could do all of the above (camber plates, sway bars, bushings, and front monoballs) for quite a bit less then a good set of dampers - hence why I put coilovers so low on the list. You could run stock suspension, with a good track alignment (camber plates), with upgraded f+r sway bars (Hotchkis), with upgraded bushings and front monoballs and have a really good car on track for semi-frequent track use. With a good set of tires it would be a quick setup. If you're really serious then add a good get of coilovers, MCS, JRZ KWCS for added performance. That's my 2 cents at least.

Depending on how much your car is being used on the street would determine whether or not to go monoball or replace the whole arm with SPL imo. On my previous car that was street driven some I did monoball. I now run all SPL arms on my track car but it never gets street driven - they make more noise and might be annoying to you for more daily use. |

From what I've seen, track days and autocrosses are too small to be considered a "mass gathering". Chin Track Days even clarified all of their events are still on.

I really hope you're right but I have a feeling that is not going to hold up. Pockets are going to start tightening & could see the economic viability of some of the track events degrading to where it doesn't make sense for them to be run for awhile. And the definition of mass gathering is easy to change to fit the govt's whims at any time.

Endurance tire choice in my book still goes to the 615k or RS4 unless you’re trying to set fastest laps. I may scoop another set of A052’s for SCCA Time Trials at some point since it’s 200tw limited, I currently have a dedicated autox set of A052’s only, and just plan to run RS4’s or Scrubs on track for now since it’s more cost-effective. I have access to takeoffs in the RS4 size I need from a local WRL team. My co-driver and I delaminated my A052’s last weekend actually so we are tire shopping right now. Sadly the new Falken won’t have 285’s in until mid-summer.
