Fe4 suspension

[Cuda7050]

I only test drove 2010 and 2011's so my ability to compare them to my 2012 is limited. It definitely has less understeer than the FE3. Honestly, I am stunned at how good the suspension is on my SS. I live in mountains so I am constantly hitting curves and I quickly came to the conclusion that I don't have the balls to push this car to its cornering limits. I could find the limits on my previous 328i and G35 (tire squeal), but this car seems to stay in total control at the limit of my confidence level. Perhaps a HPDE day will help me learn how to push the car a bit more. Plus, I love the 100 foot long burnout with traction control off!

You are a very smart man. Pushing the limits on the street is a really dangerous thing to do. HPDE is a controlled environment, PERFECT for pushing the limits.

I feel the same. I pushed the 2012 in the canyons and didnt get close to the limits as to tire squeal and we would'nt have as it what would have been to dangerous on that road. The car had no problems and always in control and went where you pointed it,and I was running with some club memebers that do autocross and are lowered and with bars. Good enough for the street. Competition maybe it needs more

Well, Pedders FE4 is beginning.

Pedders XA coil-overs showed up today.

Front radius bush inserts installed, rear cradle bush inserts installed, sways...done.

Would all that be left to do is the new FE4 rear LCA's and a new stiffer sway to replace the stock 2012 one?
