Smile HI EVERYONE - We just started tracking our E46 M3 this year - VIDEOS

We just started tracking our HPF Stage 3 M3 this year and it's been a blast. My guys have done a great job setting the car up and we keep getting faster and faster. We're running Brembo 6 piston fronts and 4 piston rears and are switching to Cobalt pads. (What do you guys think about those). We're designing our own suspension right now but are currently running KW Variant 3's which are holding up ok for a street/track car but we really need a more dialed setup. We have a full cage and are running around 650rwhp and when we hit the button it's 750rwhp. All of this footage below was at the low boost setting. We're also running Hoosier 265 R6's in the front and 325 R6's in the rear.

Here's some footage from our most recent event at the BMWACA.

Wow, lots of power. This car could be very very quick with the suspension sorted and a good driver...!

Do you ever test at any CA tracks?

Depending on Budget. If they make HT-10's or PF01 pads for the brembo Caliper I would suggest those. Also for suspension depending on how extreme you want to go. You can go with GC, TCKline, and as extreme as Moton Clubsports. I nice setup for the E46 M was the GC Race Coilovers with Advance Desgin shocks I had on mine. Great setup. Just my .02c

HPF Chris, Jeff can make your car go really fast. I bet he lays down 1:3#s at Laguna with it.

I also know a customer of yours in Mill Valley, Rob ???? with a beautiful, white E46 M3 you turbocharged for him. You guys do incredibly beautiful work.

Motons, AST 3x adjustable might be the best suspension choice...more adjustability. Agree on the pads.
