Looks like some pretty solid stuff there, and the car looks great aside from (IMO) the wheel color. Like others have said, let's hear an exhaust sound clip and see some real numbers comparisons between this and a stock M2!

I do have one issue though...

Does it actually reduce weight vs the stock system? I checked their web site and they don't list weight reduction there. I get that CFRP is lightweight, but so is the stock setup. They went from the older style CFRP to steel/aluminum because they were able to match rigidity and weight while taking up less space in the engine bay and costing less.

Also, let's be real about this adjustable part...there is zero benefit to that. You'll never, ever "adjust preload" (as they say on their web site) of chassis bracing to suit different driving conditions. All you're doing is bending things, plus having all those attachment points just introduces opportunities for flexing/pivoting. Chassis bracing should always be rigid, as that forces the suspension to absorb more of the impacts and not translate them to the chassis. Stiffer chassis = smoother ride.

Yes! Best one is the CSL bar. Buts it’s $2600 lol
