The softer spring rates will definitely help, but I'm more curious as to how the "revised shocks" feel. I have my MPP (KW) coilovers dialed in perfectly, so it'll be hard sell to get me back on Ohlins, but I'm delighted to see they are actually listening to their customers! Hopefully the changes...

I've driven on the mentioned Pirellis and the Michelin AS4's. Both become loud once you have in excess of 50-60% tread wear. Both perform well in dry conditions, but the Michelins are grippier when really warmed up. In wet and adverse conditions, the Michelins offer much better traction. High...

On a stock height vehicle with no suspension modifications, adjustable sway bar end links will do absolutely nothing. On a vehicle with a lowered (or track tuned) aftermarket suspension (usually 2" or more from stock) and ultimately depending on the way the OEM sway bar is designed / mounted, a...

Installed myself, and no it did not make the ride more comfortable. Regrettably, just the opposite. Handling and control improved tenfold, but ride quality left a lot to be desired, especially in and around the NYC tri-state area. The tradeoff was just too great for me and my family to keep the...

Are you noticing it more so in one particular weather or temperature condition? I went with the F9460PC variant.

Believe it or not, the tape holds up quite well, and I've never seen the stuff become "goo". I guess there's always the possibility that it could become messy (under extreme track like conditions), but I've personally never experienced or seen that on anything on the street. Aside from the...

And as referenced in the stock BMW image, the tape is not between the pad and the backing shim, but rather on top of the shim itself, which makes direct contact with the piston(s)...

Exactly, but if you've ever worked with or changed pads with VHB tape, you'll notice the pads are almost always adhered to the pistons (via the tape), and in order to remove them, you have to pry them off the pistons. Depending on the number and size of the pistons (ultimately the bonding...

It is exactly what you think it is... When you apply the brakes, the pads are shifting ever so slightly back and forth within the caliper, which causes the clunk you're hearing when transition between drive and reverse. I had the same issue, and ironically this started happening not to long...

The entire kit with the extra set of softer (custom Ohlins colored) Swift springs was sold...

Car looks awesome man! Very clean!

19x10 with a +32 offset, presumably for the rear, would for the most part be considered an aggressive fitment on the Model 3. When you get into these sizes and offsets, and depending on how you intend on using the vehicle (street, show, or track), you most likely will have to mod and or adjust...

The measurements are based on specific areas on each component and are to be used as reference points to aide with the installation. They do not reflect the maximum or minimum drop, but yes there's limitation on how low or high you can go. Using the rear perch as an example, once you've set that...

Not knowing which kit you purchased and what model 3 you have, I am going to out on a limb and assume from the specs you've provided, it's the MPP sport kit for an AWD application. If that's the case, with 70mm front and 18mm rear, you should achieve a drop in the neighborhood between 1.25-1.50"...

First and foremost, you want to ensure that you're on level ground. If things don't look right, check again at another location. If things still don't look right at multiple locations, I would pull the springs off and as you said, swap sides. That will give you a clear indication if the issue is...
