And so it begins.....after a Bimmerworld RTAB monoball install along with some KW Variant 2 coilovers, I took her out for random shoot while I was out doing some errands....
Just before the sunset I found a nice angle that would accentuate her curves, bumps and voluptuous booty:

I have a 12mm rear spacer and 15mm front spacer on my OEM 19" wheels with the OEM front top hat pins removed for maximum camber:

Then the magic began at golden hour where the sun crested and the camera was able to take in some nice warm light:

That mood didn't last long...

But as the night entered, her estoril blue came alive leaving a very happy purplish glow!

The suspension feels much more compliant than the OEM shocks. Every sharp bump on the road is met with a nice cushioning without the harsh bang, that I felt in the OEM struts. I have the suspension set very soft which is 2 clicks from the softest in the rear and 4 clicks from the softest in the front out of about 18 clicks. The vehicle hugs the ground very good and is fast enough to keep confident control at speed over road irregularities. The body of the car doesn't wallow or float and remains in easy control once I have lost traction in the rear which is still easy with this engine and the right pedal. I can confidently squeeze throttle down to squat the suspension and hold or I can upset the chassis with quicker throttle input and break rear traction progressively as I quickly countersteer and throttle out into a straight.
The Bimmerworld Monoball sealed bearing RTABs are something magical. Not only do they lack the introduction of any extra harshness or noise, but they direct the power to the ground immediately without the RTABs needing to flex and load up. That means in a corner you feel a quick reaction that is more direct than rubber or poly bushings. If you're rough with your throttle input I think monoballs will bite you faster than any other product since there is no split second of play to cushion the immediate power. I firmly believe in this product and I hope because of it's sealed nature, they will last far longer than the equivalent OEM rubber replacements of the same value.
