See.... that's what I want! The control arm is E46 style but has roll center correction. Where can I get THAT? Plus I can't tell if his knuckles are modified. God I want a setup like that... soon. very soon!

Um... simply put... when your car is at rest most/all suspension components are parallel to the ground. Lets take the control arm for example. Now when the control arm moves, it doesn't move up and down linearly. It moves in an arch. when you lower your car like a mofo, your control arms start pointing up. Long story short, that's really bad. you want it to remain parallel at rest.

Wow I glossed over so much.

well that would explain how he can manage the angle without hitting everything on earth. It doesn't look great, but it's actually VERY functional. Also, keep in mind the control arm image is of the spindle disconnected as the tie rod broke.

PS link me to the thread plz!

M3 flairs will not cover that. I don't have a link to the original thread, you want a link to the tech thread?
