As of now I can only say positives except for the rear bushings that my tech said did not fit and he used the oem ones after trimming them a bit. I also had the car aligned with these specs using camber plates.

Front Camber: -2.75
Front Toe: 0
Rear Camber: -1.5
Rear Total Toe: 0.30

I feel absolutely no loss of comfort and body motions from side to side seem greatly reduced and gives a feeling of stability when cornering. Car feels great and is way easier to drive than my M2 was, even if I was running similar alignment specs, I think the new G series geo and the longer wheelbase help a lot !

I have a track day coming this Friday and will be able to evaluate in a controlled environment going balls out.
Are you running coilovers and/or camber plates, adjustable arms, etc to get those camber and toes? Thanks

Based on that and the fact that it seems the H&R sway bars add 2mm thickness both front and rear, I was thinking that only upgrading the rears might achieve exactly the balance one would want. Planted and pleasant in the front and stop the "wandering" and roll on the rear. Not sure if others have the same evaluation...
By the way my set-up is 2023 M340i standard suspension with high-performance tires.
How much of the rear rolling and wandering outside of the curve has to do with the rear toe changing? In other words can this be corrected with adjustable rear toe links instead of a stiffer swaybar?

Trying to decide if I want to install all 5 at once or one at a time with testing in between each.

This will also be a good way to determine if that front member strut engine brace will fit with the MST intake.
Just got caught up on this whole thread. Did you ever get/install the braces?
