M3/M4 LCA upgrade worth it?

helloelectro · 07-25-2019, 05:30 PM

Anyone here done an M3/M4 LCA upgrade specifically on a m240i? Looking for some feedback on handling improvement and such. Curious as to what else is needed...alignment and such. Thanks!

I did it (dealer installed) on my 228i (with Track Handling Package) and consider it the single best modification I’ve done. It wipes out the on-center steering dead zone and improves cornering stability by an increase in negative camber (+1 degree), otherwise new alignment should be at spec. Car feels much more “planted” during enthusiastic cornering. This really brings the car to life and makes it feel more like an extension of your thoughts...steering feels like it’s reading your mind. Love it. The kit from Turner Motorsports has all that’s needed. RWD only. Expect a small deterioration in tire tread longevity. Well worth it.
