Default It's not an S2000, but...


As some of you may know, since 2012 I've had the honor and privilege of working very closely with the renowned JRZ Suspension Engineering Global HQ team as a technical partner & sponsor for my Honda S2000 race car. Over the years we have successfully campaigned several JRZ setups in time attack and wheel-to-wheel racing, ranging from the RS Pro (2-way), to the Motorsport Triples (3-way), and currently the 12 31 series dampers.

Well, I'm very excited to announce today that as a JRZ factory-supported driver I will also begin to incorporate their incredible suspension technology into my new daily driven F80 BMW M3 (aka "Betty"). Betty will soon be equipped with JRZ RS Two (double adjustable) dampers and we will be doing a blog series about how well they perform in a variety of street and track driving situations.



I'll initially use the RS Two in the Touring (OEM top mounts) configuration and will then upgrade them to the Sport (JRZ camber adjustable and spherical top mounts) configuration. Follow along here: http://jrzsuspension.com/welcome-to-the-fam-betty.html

I approve. I guess when you work at a BMW DEALERSHIP.........I get to be bias.

Sexy, we just picked up a F80 M3 as well and would love to hear / see more about your JRZ review!

Using this system would mean you lose the factory adjustable settings right?

What's the estimated cost of this setup?


thanks!

I knew I'd be doing this with JRZ when I ordered my F80 from BMW, so I didn't opt for the dynamic/adjustable factory suspension.

About $5,000 retail for the setup that I have.
