I think with a brand like Schirmer, it's 50/50 marketing/engineering. There's just so much you can make different with the E9x M3 suspension without completely changing the subframes. They intentionally keep their settings/geometry a secret cos they know you can replicate it with other brands of suspension arms. But nothing wrong with that - they did the work and want to keep their trade secrets to themselves.
Also I doubt their small kit will be cheap. The way I see it, they're trying to build a brand like Singer does with Porsche. Their V8 GT car is a sum of its parts, not just the suspension setup. So I don't think they will release all the knowhow in the small kit, nor price it low to cheapen their brand. That said, the small kit is definitely on my wish list! |

Sounds like the only thing you can't get elsewhere is the "diff lift kit". So, a very overpriced set of spherical bearings and arms?

I can see how it might be at the 'Ring considering the elevation changes combined with high speed bankers. |

This isn't a schirmer part but it's probably the same concept for the rear diff cooler and why there are holes in the bumper

If you aren't drifting a car, is a cooler and pump really necessary? Seems like overkill.
Keep clean fluid at the proper level, and pop for the bearing/gear polish. I've actually thought of some small bolt-on scoops that direct air up along the back of the diff face.

I'd assume heat management is a problem for him. He runs a Drexler unit as on Schirmer cars. Do clutch type LSDs run hotter than the OE visco unit? |

For running 20 minute track sessions... no a cooler isn't necessary. I don't think I've ever seen mine get above 240f. And that's running that thick OSG honey goodness for diff fluid. I did have thoughts of running a cooler at one point just because race car so the diff drain plugs have been switched out for capped AN fittings when I installed the diff but I've never bothered. Osg 4.10 6 speed btw with a temp sensor installed in the back cover.

Fwiw I'm hoping to purchase one of the wings shown on the m4. Have also seen it on some m2's and reached out to Schirmer Parts to see if it would fit an e92 m3 and check on pricing.

It just looks like the m235 wing.

Agree and big fan of the m235iR wing also but like the look of the end plates on the Schirmer wing slightly more, perhaps it is the same wing with revised end plates and uprights?

Malek's winglets look adjustable. The winglets on the apex car look fixed and custom. I'm pretty sure Malek has an oem m235ir wing.

I'll wind up with something different eventually, but it fits well for now.
