100%. In the least, even just with lowering springs or the HAS kit that you have, the pivot point of the tie-rods need to be corrected to prevent accentuated bumpsteer resulting from the lowered center. The tie-rod ends are the first thing we recommend when doing SPL upgrades piece-by-piece and we'd even venture to say the lowering springs/HAS kit WITH SPL Tie-Rods combination should be a requirement to be done together to maintain proper drivability that BMW engineered it with originally. The tie-rods are only $349 and can be done in less than an hour and adjusted the same time as a routine alignment.

The SPL parts make it easier to adjust settings. Install/Setup time is very much the same as any 4-way alignment.

It's the picking and choosing your own individual camber/caster/toe specs is what takes up the time and multiple track days to dial in. Hardcore guys change these settings for every track they go to, and sometimes every session to get every last tenth of a second.

We're checking if SPL has confirmed that they have parts for F36.

If we're talking about the same video/person, we were there when it happened and it came down to a delaminated tire and hitting the wall at over 100mph. Hopefully it wasn't someone else..
