It's 6:55AM, heading back home, got about 650 miles to cover. Now let's see how comfy these carbon seats! Unfortunately she did not come with PS4S.

After almost driving total 750 miles so far, 650 was highway, I would say this was the best road trip I had without any lower back pain, and body aces. Being serious, I won't say these are most comfortable car seats I have sat on, or owned. But we made it home without any fatigue. This was my experience as I do have lower back pain issue during longs trips. I was extremely surprised, we have X7, 540i and E400 in the family and after long trips on those I do end up with fatigue. Something about these seats just works lol.
I am 5 11, in the 170s, the seats fit like gloves. Also my wife was really impressed, as she used to hate my M2C seats during long trips. So here is my take on it, as soon as I crawled inside for the first time, for a split second I told myself shit maybe I should have gotten regular ones, got out right way and noticed the seats are set to their hight positions. Brought it down to the lowest possible setting, getting in is much much better, so I would recommend anyone trying out for the 1st time, before you get in put the setting to the lowest position and adjusted your settings once inside. Keeping them low makes getting in and out much easier. |

I usually set my passenger CF bucket seat very low to make ingress/egress less intimidating and easier for those who aren't used to buckets. They definitely love them once they sit in as well! |

Berger Motorsports Spacers
15mm front 13mm rear No plans to lower. Rear fender-to-tire gap good. Front gap will close as stock springs settle. Spacers attenuated front gap nicely. Edit: per multiple PM requests https://burgertuning.com/products/g-...kit-w-10-bolts Last edited by ///AVM; 04-20-2021 at 08:11 PM.. |

Do spacers affect suspension geometry or does it have any adverse effect on the car's handling? I'm a bit weary as I've never put spacers on a car, but judging from the pictures posted here they complete the look quite nicely.

Suspension heads murmur about it, but I've run quality/hubcentric spacers on every M3 going back to my first E46 in 2002-ish. I've tracked a few of mine and haven't noticed any issues. GT3's used to come from the factory with a 5mm or 10mm spacer option, so it can't be that detrimental.
