Well, went with my father, and the PCA Northeast region on their Ramble to Lake George, NY. We drove like 200 miles of awesome roads to get there. My M3 kept up with some nice 911s very well, and alot of those porsche guys were very surprised. I loved my new suspension. However, i came to a stop sign on the route, at the top of a hill. The road it was abutting was flat, and the hill was sharp, so there was a crest that stuck up. I said to myself, im not getting over this, and i was right. I went prety slow, but the hill was steep, and about a foot after my front wheels crested the lip BANG. I hit the ground hard. You really really felt it in the cabin.
I thought to myself, that is a scenario that wont happen often, i might be ok. Then the next day, i went over a speed bump slowly, that wasnt very tall, and BANG. I hit again, this time even harder. It felt like it lifted the car a little.
I havnt jacked it up and looked at the damage, but the car drives fine. I think its hitting those two frame rails that come down right after the front wheels in the middle of the car.
Does anyone else have similar problems? Im not sure of the ride height, because i think it settled a little since the install. I'l go measure soon.
