40 isn't all that bad, actually. Not sure why you're rubbing on stock suspension. I didn't rub with et40 on a lowered suspension.
Sorry guys, I can't say I agree. Anything that requires modification to make it not rub is an aggressive offset. 40 is actually on the lower end of what you can run without requiring modification.
In this case I feel it's the higher tire profile that's causing the rub, not necessarily the offset. Any lower though and the offset would become a problem.
Do aftermarket strut braces like Dinan perform better than using the OEM e46 M3 strut brace or does it just come down to looks? Thinking about buying a used Dinan strut brace but I am wondering if spending less for a bar from an m3 would be just as good?
Dinan is most likely just as good as ///M3 brace regarding rigidity. I'd go ///M3.

Suspension question: I think Koni yellows are adjustable, but only on rebound, not compression.
Why would you want to stiffen rebound? Wouldn't compression be more advantage?

Since rebound affects the speed at which the shock returns to its uncompressed position, being able to adjust it could come in handy if you live in an area with rough roads, or if you auto cross and and want the cars weight to transfer quickly and predictably. However I think in the case of Koni Yellows, some of it comes down to cost. At least in the mountain bike world, rebound chambers are a lot less complicated than compression dampers and thus a shock with only rebound offers some adjustability and at a lot less of the price.
Just my guess, I may be totally wrong here

So my windshield cowling is pretty bad and I am going to order a replacement.
Will this suffice?
Or should I get the one with the left and right lining pieces?
