We as enthusiasts have a pretty good track record of taking good cars and turning the ride into junk. The quest for lower lap times is going to take its toll on comfort, right?
Our BMW M235i recently received a track-ready MCS suspension courtesy of BimmerWorld plus Ground Control camber plates. A few days after the install we drove the …
Any particular reason you went with MCS? Honestly just curious 
Why are the springs clanking about?

Because race car.
Okay, let me get a better answer.

But then i've never had springs clank about, either. 
It might be a bushing. I'm just the test driver. Let me get you a real answer.
Update: Jay at Ground Control wants us to recheck a few things on those camber plates.
Every car I have lowered has not had clanking issues. I would get that checked ASAP you don't want something binding up or damaging the new parts. Never mind actually breaking something while in motion.
Any updates????

I somehow doubt that low speed corners would exceed the droop travel.
You'd pretty much have to have Hazzard County hang time for that to be a problem.
I'd still want to get under there.
