PCD: Last year's version
1:14.7 on xs tires after the R6 got flat spotted to the core after a huge lockup at turn 7. And I don't run double grip tires like chu fools or spike my fuel for de events.

I was telling him that but he don't listen. there are way more expensive, less capable track cars out there. Heck, I had a student earlier this year with a brand new diesel bimmer that was killing it at summit main.

You're just putting the ***** on a pedastal. I think doing one day in that car will change the way you look at it.
I baby my car so I understand your hesitation and am speaking from a well understood perspective.
The only thing you'll be beating up are brakes and tires. The car itself won't even flinch.

Addendum: car makers engineer cars so well only for people to go out into the streets and drive them at -1% of their engineered ability. Don't be an insult to the engineers and marque. It is your duty to do an hpde in that pretty new f30

I would hold off on doing an HPDE on the F30 until it's out of warranty. You do not want to go in for service and be denied because you tracked the car. Yes, they will know.
It's easy to say go track your car... when you got another car to drive to work the next day. If it was my only car, forget about it.

Do you have camber plates on your Bilstein/GTWorx set-up?
I have the same set-up but with plates (my struts are MR, not HD), and to be honest, I get on pretty good with the way the car is now. I would like a little bit of a stiffer spring, but also like you my car can't be too low as I wouldn't be able to pull up my driveway.
I take it you just DE the car? Thats as all I do, for now at least... I think this set-up is the best of both worlds. Comfort vs Performance.
What other suspension mods you have, I saw you have sways... anything else?

currently the car is just springs/shocks, front/rear sways running on 17x9.5's with 255 rs3's. adding bump steer bush and probably rear trailing arm bush this winter.
it is just DE for now, hoping to run GTA next year, as well as get to work with NASA and work up to TT with them. but obviously that will be some time off.
