Like AustinTrkJunkie I am also starting to believe our issue is more about EPS than suspension. I've sent an e-mail to my SA asking them to diagnose this further under warranty.

I'm 12 clicks from full stiff. That is about perfect for me. When I had them installed, they did them backwards and I was almost at full soft and the shocks were overpowered by the springs.

When i had the GC control plates with the stock shocks the car still pulled the right. The car is level but i set the height of the right front side at about half an inch than the left. I haven't corner balanced the car yet but ballparked it based on my E92 M3, the right side had to be set at about half an inch higher. |

Still not too far off the 10-20 clicks Öhlins recommends for street. |

Quick update on this end, just spoke to BMW NA and they are scheduling an engineer to come look at the car in the next couple of weeks. Relayed and stressed that I do not believe this is a alignment issue, rather something with the EPS.
we'll see what happens from here! |

Handles better, rides smoother than stock. Also the car is putting down power better than oem in comfort mode. |

How would you compare the damping between the TCKR and the Ohlins. I know the TCKR rides better than OE and Ohlins is better than that with the spring rates you chose? How does the Ohlins handle bumps and transitions vs TCKR? |

The TCKR were also great, was smoother than OE, improved my times by 2 seconds or so but on a long stretch of bumps eventually would get unsettled even over the train tracks. The Ohlins feel like you're floating over successive bumps, even train tracks. It's like you're driving a Buick that handles like a track car. I can also come with power much sooner without Euro MDM intervening, with the custom rear spring rates. |

Did you notice any shock fade(decrease in damping capabilities) after a long drive or towards the end of a track session? |

Even when i had my TCKR, they were on the softer side and ran my best times. Some people think firmer = better performance, not necessarily, a lot variables, how smooth the track is, what tires. That's what TC told me years ago and i believe him based on my times. |

There is a reason why TC use one of the lowest spring rates in the industry. |
