I have the Speed Engineering intake duct in this season. So far all the early season track days have been pretty cool so hard to tell if it's doing much yet.
Here is from yesterday. I had some issues with the BM3 app not working so I had to reinstall and forgot to check ambient temp logging but...
Finally got my 56, not once, but twice today at a BMW club event at Lime Rock. Going down to a smaller front sway bar helped a ton. You can see in the video I am no longer fighting the car in turn 2. Thanks to @garudathree for being a gentleman and giving me a well timed point by on this lap.
1st event of the year was at Palmer Motorsports park last week. It's my favorite track in the NE that I have been to so far but I still don't drive full attack because the track can bite and I like driving home in the same car I came with.

Moved on to a different setup so no longer need these.
Used SPL front lower control arms.
Brand new (with zero miles on them, only installed on car during the winter):
1. spherical bearings on chassis end, both sides
2. Updated studs on hub side, both sides
Slight marking on drivers side arm...
Thanks. At some point the bar will go in, when... is a mystery.
