Default Nice! Try a rear sway bar to cure the understeer........

I had the street sports for a couple of months. It was a great suspension, but I wanted something a little stiffer for the track. I went with the track sports with 700/800 springs and a 19mm Neuspeed rear swaybar. I set it to firm during my last track event and the difference was amazing. Understeer was eliminated. I'm going to try the sway on soft next time to see if I can get the car to neutral. It was pure oversteer on firm. I'll keep playing with it until I like the setup on the track.

Default They don't send the wrench and sockets needed to install it.

Basic tools should do the trick. With the front shocks, Nick Gustas suggested notching a cheap flat head screwdriver, and using that to adjust the coilovers. With the rear shocks, you need a 3/32nd's allen wrench to reach in there to change the rebound setting.

Default I have nothing but good things to say about my Stasis experience, but.....

I have to agree that the rebound adjustment tool & spanner wrench should be included. Thankfully, I had the spanner wrench from my street sports for the track sport install. I would never expect basic tools to be included, but I would expect the rebound screw driver to be sent with a $2000 kit.

Default Yes, they should include the tool with the kit, but why quibble...

when you can easily make one yourself for a few bucks? I'd rather get the best suspension around and no tool than bad shocks and a giant tool! LOL! <;/

M3's are very nice, but haven't driven in one, and still can't find one who will race me. <:}
