The team at Winding Road Racing recently installed JRZ coil-overs on a 2015 BMW F82 M4. As our shop technicians installed the suspension on the M4, we documented the process. In the coming weeks, we will update with more in-depth impressions after carving some of our Texas Hill Country roads.
Juliann drives a BMW E46 station wagon – specifically a BMW M3 drivetrain in a station wagon chassis, making it heavier than a standard coupe. Looking for more braking power, Juliann turned to the Neo Motorsport F400 and R400 calipers, and has been testing it for over a year.

Last year when Dodge formally announced the new Viper ACR – the most track-focused street legal version of the manufacturer’s sports car – expectations were high. But could it complete with this new crop of seven-figure, nearly 1000 horsepower hypercars from Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche, especially since SRT engineers had chosen leave the 645 horsepower V10 and six-speed manual gearbox alone?
