Joe Achilles (video) "M2 COMPETITION AT MOTECH PERFORMANCE *AC SCHNITZER / DD CODING"
Lot's of good views in this video. Also got a kick at how mechanically un-inclined Joe is.

Thanks for sharing.
@10:40 that's the stock exhaust sound. Not the foam filter he put in. Oh it sounds terrible Dunno about the lowering: Stance alright off course. I don't want to schratch my frontspoiler and other stressfull stuff. Cheers Robin |

I am within a mm or two of not being able to get up and back down my driveway. I will never lower this car and it's now the benchmark for "as low as the driveway will allow".

Sounds a bit like "I'm lowering my car not because it's needed, but to keep my YouTube channel alive". The interesting part however was, how do they code the top speed limit away? Haven't heard anywhere else that that is possible.

Actually considering lowering mine. I know the stance is already decent but I've seen some with coils and it looks even better lower IMO. Just trying to decide whether to go the coil over route or lowering springs. I don't think I will need the adjustability but I'm not sure if lowering springs are the way to go with the stock shocks.

There are absolutely no excuse for lowering springs on the M2. The only reason why lowering springs might be acceptable is if you have adaptable suspension, which you dont on the M2c. |

Yeah lowering springs are stupid. It changes the suspension geometry and the dampers aren’t designed for it. It’s for people who can’t afford to do it right with a coilover. |

It's good to hear this type of feedback. I think I'll just get a set of good coilovers in the first instance instead of springs. Only 4 months until I get the car now 😁😬
