If I ever get the basic bitch mobile with a beefier engine, that's the first thing I'm going to do with it, if it understeers of course. Most likely do a trade with the local classifieds and I do ran into a number of them. I am told driving/handling wise it is more on par with the e90 than the f30, but they're pretty much like forum breh's except its from truecar reviews and the like.D Griff wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 3:20 pm In summary:

One of my GTI buddies got a used f30 a year ago without the fake sport, he literally went to costco to get 245's since that fucker understeered.

I got so much shit on this forum for bitching about this. My fake sport had up front … a civic sport has :235: s … and handling due to neutered tires was severely compromised. But frankly only at the limit.. yet the limit is far too fast for city streetsMexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 1:48 pmIf I ever get the basic bitch mobile with a beefier engine, that's the first thing I'm going to do with it, if it understeers of course.

Having now owned it both ways (particularly given my were the factory run flat garbage tires, it is immensely better, basically night and day. It went from driving like a GTI to driving like a RWD carmax225 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 1:53 pmI got so much shit on this forum for bitching about this.

I never thought the tires themselves were bad. My main issues with them was the cost of replacement and tire life. They usually only go about 20-25k miles and then cost $1200-1500 a set to replace.

I replied to your post in the other thread
But it is really good as far as I'm concerned. One thing I think Bilsteins do really well is complete lack of wallowing or bounciness. You feel bumps with the setup but they are over quickly and drama free if that makes sense. It's compliant but sporty.
