Definitely a better start... now its just whether or not they can seal the rod ends they use so the kit can be streeted reliably and a decent price point and id buy.

Very late response. None of the companies I contacted produced a product so I bought some tools to measure the bump-steer correctly. At 13" rear and 13.5" front, our M3s don't actually have major problems with bumpsteer, I made a mistake in my earlier calculation. Posting this update just in case someone in the future tries to measure their bumpsteer and comes to the same incorrect conclusion.

Is your Ride height Measurement center cap to fender?Originally posted by pawa_k2001 View PostVery late response.

Interesting to see there is little impact to bumpsteer with that much of a height change... I mean its positive... means there is not really a problem to fix haha. Did you actually quantify the bumpsteer when you di this exercise so you can quantify the bumpsteer impact due to you particular lowering case?Originally posted by pawa_k2001 View Post
It is. Center of center cap to lip of fender. I also measured at 12.75" front and 13.25" rear, bumpsteer should not be a problem. I tested with 2" compression and 2" rebound.

I will have to find my notes but I did measure bumpsteer at every .25" travel. I don't have stock bumpsteer numbers since my AST shock will not extend to stock ride-height. If anything, I will redo bumpsteer measurements next winter since M3 will get a suspension rebuild at that point.Originally posted by STAATS View Post
