    Anyone tried E9x M3 shocks with higher spring rates?

    Hi,

    Playing around with ideas for my E92 M3 for autocross/track use. On my E46 M3 I upgraded to MCS shocks with higher spring rates. But so far I have been very pleased with the performance of the factory EDC shocks on the E92. I’ve seen the KW sleeve kit for them, which of course come with progressive rate springs for mostly street use. Wondering if anyone has tried anything similar with more track-oriented spring rates? I’m curious how much headroom the factory electronic shocks have for handling higher spring rates before they are overtaxed.

    Has anyone tried this? If so, what spring rates did you use and how did the shocks handle it?

    Thanks,
    Brian
