    The only thing that I can say would hurt my handling is tire size lol. That's why I said I'm more form than function 😃

    Everything else has been an upgrade...

    The airlift struts would perform very well at a nice track height, the mix of poly and delrin bushings stiffen up the rear, and the z3 rack/treehouse racing eyeball arms/e34 steering coupler increase the responsiveness of the steering.

    I won't ever track the car but a spirited drive every so often would be enjoyable=) For the most part she will just be a cruiser

      I added wheel size to the mix because from my eyeball I would say that I couldn't properly align that car to handle better than it would be with a different offset.  You have changed the track width of the car which changes the alignment angles and the scrub radius which effectively changes where the center of your tire contacts the road.

        Mister Pat, you know very well I wouldn't trust these wheels to help it handle better=P I'm saying every aspect other than them. Wheels can be changed in moments silly

              His cars in the order he presented:

              -E36 with AutoZone "Oldsmobile-ish Stick-On" fender vents and fake splits

              -Toyota Camry

              -E92 (I think) 4-door

              -H3 Hummer

                                    I wouldn't say I collect them but I definitely buy them and display them at work and home.  I am quite particular about what I buy though.
