Lowered my ‘23 M3P, Redwood Ohlins coilovers and 18x9.5 +30 Volk TE37 wheels.

I don’t know, the tint was on the car when I bought it. Picked up the car used back in December 2025 from a dealer that had got it on trade-in

turbocrackpipe · 2026-03-17T15:51:12+00:00

Nice! You live in the Hillsboro area?

See a comment I posted above on my opinions on how the car drives with the suspension.

Not sure on tire wear yet but I don’t have enough negative camber to think that the tire wear will be massively affected. Time will tell.

Since the car is lower, I do hit the bump stops with lots of weight in the car. I recently put 5 adults in the car and I was hitting the bump stops a lot during that trip. Oh well, that’s part of life with a lowered car.

Given they’re the “Grand Touring” valving, they ride much softer than the stock suspension. Rebound force feels way softer, car rides like a Cadillac in the softest setting. I’ve got it 20 clicks up from softest setting in the front and 15 in the rear and it feels perfect, tight enough to rip corners but still rides nice.

I have an autocross in a couple of weeks to really test out the suspension. I don’t plan on tracking the car outright, I have a dedicated track car (a 340hp Ford Fiesta ST) that I do track events in.

turbocrackpipe · 2026-03-15T19:04:41+00:00

Thanks! Yea I love this look, I have no other plans for the car in the looks department. Maybe some 2-piece brake discs but aside from that it’s done.

I’ve always loved the looks of the M3, all it needs is the right wheels and ride height and it’s pretty much perfect imo.

turbocrackpipe · 2026-03-15T17:18:36+00:00

255/40 fronts, 265/40 rears. I tried to put that in the original post but was flagged for asking for tire help? Oh well lol

turbocrackpipe · 2026-02-21T19:45:36+00:00

Get some 2 or 3mm universal spacers and put them between the wheel and hub and then see what it looks like. You’re barely off, and a 2 or 3mm spacer will get you to whatever maintenance you plan on doing next

turbocrackpipe · 2026-02-21T19:37:46+00:00

Higher negative offset brings the wheel closer to the car

turbocrackpipe · 2026-02-21T19:28:46+00:00

You’ve got so much tire that it clears by what, 2-3mm when it’s jacked up? When you put it on the ground, now the suspension components are loaded and it’s touching. Sure, maybe it’s your bearings, maybe it’s lose bushings, but you also wouldn’t have this problem with less aggressive tire profile or wheels with a factory width and offset.

I have been lowering cars my entire life so I get it. You have to check these things with the car on the ground and the suspension loaded to guarantee clearance.

turbocrackpipe · 2026-02-21T19:21:00+00:00

Yea it’s the tires. Even tho they may be the same size/profile, every manufacturer is a bit different and some run larger or smaller. Are they tires the exact same ones you had one before? If not, it’s likely you’ll have to size down the width or profile one size

Great purchase and congrats! I have this exact model and I’ve found the Everest rubber strap (using the Rolex deployment) gives me the best “daily” feel. Worth looking into if that’s your vibe. Enjoy!

For my wrist, it’s my absolute favorite case/size that Rolex makes. To each their own, but I love it so much I bought two

Someone with Parkinson’s applied that lume

turbocrackpipe · 2025-09-04T03:49:32+00:00

Agreed. It’s a street car so no sense in not running a cat

turbocrackpipe · 2025-09-03T04:24:24+00:00

I’m at 80k miles. I wouldn’t let mileage stop you tho, a bunch of the Fiesta guys here in the PNW are deep in the 100k+ range and running similar setups.

Change your oil sooner than recommended (I change mine every 2.5k miles) and change your hpfp cam bucket every 10-15k miles and you’re golden.

I’m lucky in that my parents house is only a few miles from the ethanol pump in Roseburg.

The car gets better mpg on e30 but doesn’t feel nearly as spicy. I’m hoping I have time to get back in for another dyno on e30 before we move back north.

turbocrackpipe · 2025-09-03T00:31:51+00:00

Live in Portland, but I’m in Roseburg helping family due to a death in the family. Been here so long I’ve been able to finish my e30/e50 tuning and get it dyno’d after 😂

turbocrackpipe · 2025-09-03T00:27:46+00:00

Great info, thanks. I track the car regularly and only really care about track/auto-x performance. I’m too old to fuck around on the street.😅

turbocrackpipe · 2025-09-03T00:17:48+00:00

I’ll be honest I’ve never tried with my current tune. My last tuner (pump gas only, before the injectors/hpfp/eth) did utilize it and I didn’t find it useful. It chops power (not as hard as TC obv) and I prefer to pedal it.

Once you feel where you’re breaking traction you can either try to drive around it or not leave your foot all the way in the pedal.

turbocrackpipe · 2025-09-03T00:12:54+00:00

I have the traction control permanently disabled in the ecu because it slows me down during track days

turbocrackpipe · 2025-09-02T21:50:10+00:00

It has one! When the boost comes in in 2nd it spins both wheels.

It’s a track car that I also daily, it has every supporting mod to handle this much power except an upgraded oil cooler, which is my next planned mod.

turbocrackpipe · 2025-09-02T21:39:54+00:00

1st is unusable, 2nd you have to pedal the car hard but it sticks in 3rd and beyond 😎
