Enjoy The Shoot Manual G80

Did a photo shoot Sunday


My White G80 M3 Manual Fall-Line front traction arm spherical bushings, SPL Rear traction Arms, SPL Rear Toe link and Essential Lockout kit, KW Has kit with 15mm rear KW spacer, BMC drop-in filters, H&R 12mm Spacers all around, MHC front lip, Turner duckbill. Should have all the SPL Arms replaced soon. I do all the work myself.

Have the SPL additions improved road feel? There are only two things that I liked more about my F82 (with Dinan coilovers and trailing arms) than my G82. One was the sound system and the other was the handling. With the Dinan suspension the F82 felt much more connected with better response. The G82 feels more "elegant" and disconnected.

I'm getting the Fall Line monoballs put on in a couple weeks, I've read that that alone improves the feel. But, I'm skeptical that it will give me what I want.

With all of that said, I've considered the SPL hardware if I still feel lacking in the feel department after the monoball upgrade. What are your thoughts on the SPL hardware so far? It sounds like you're doing a couple upgrades at a time, so I'd be anxious to hear about your experiences as you add more hardware.

With the Fall-Line monoballs alone you’ll definitely a big difference with feedback. The steering feels a lot tighter. I love it. The SPL arms also helped with the overall feedback and stability. My cars much tighter all around under braking and cornering. Feels a lot more stable. Definitely recommend it.

I did all the work myself and make sure whom ever does the Fall-line front spherical bushing for the front traction does proper work. They would need to completely disassemble the front bumper, air ducts ,braces and a lot of brackets just to get to the bolts that mount to the inner part of the chassis.

Thanks for the insights. I'm really hoping the monoball brings some life into the feel.

kevin @ eas EAS is doing the install. I'm re-doing the grills and adding a lower rock guard at the same time, so the bumper has to come off no matter what.
