Throwing a guess in for vibration resistance given that it’s all hardline

What’s the idea with das loopinator?
My guess is heat, helps protect the sensor probably
Correct, the loop serves to dissipate heat from the exhaust gasses passing through before reaching the pressure sensor. It also dampens the exhaust pulses as they pass through the tubing and absorbs vibrations. I also installed a 0.04" restrictor/damper just prior to the sensor just to make sure the readings are stable.

Been awhile, here are some updates on the car.
Finally got around to installing the remote brake bias adjuster.
I got some new front wheels and tires. The tires rubbed on the factory wheel well liner so I made some new ones from hdpe. They clear with about a 1/4" to spare! Don't mind the socket spacer, I have some proper spacers on the way from McMaster along with some button head screws to replace those hex heads.
Yes, transmission jack...the spring is removed.

Clear when turning under load too?

Well if having the spring removed and the shock completely compressed counts as “under load” then yes. Lol

Shit and I worried that 245s wont be enough for my m42t e21
Will 16s clear stock e36m3 or e46 330i brakes?
There are some 16's that will clear e36m brakes, but not the majority. As far as I know, no 16 will clear e46 330 brakes as they are slightly larger than e36m.
-
16" contour reps clear e46 330 brakes. I have test fitted that combo. Clearance is about 1/8"
I stand corrected! Always thought they were just too big, good to know

Plenty of room, just need the right offset!
Good info. I didn't want to risk the wheels not fitting with the 330i brakes.
For some reason I get no notifications of posts even though I have the notifications turned on. Is this a common issue with the forum?
Finally got the car on the ground. I approve. NO POKE!

Dang, that fitment is great, way better than e36 parts.

Any idea how much camber you're running in the front? I'm debating switching to this setup at some point for a number of reasons.

I have factory upper strut mounts and IE3 springs. Once I get it in for an alignment this spring I can certainly come back and post a number for you if you would like.

Ah gotcha, for some reason I thought you were running coils/camber plates. Thanks! Good to know you can fit a decent tire without leaning them way in
