Bilstein B12 installation on R57 MCS

Just upgraded to the Bilstein B12 kit with PowerFlex front control arm bushings and rear trailing arm bushings.
Handling is sublime. Loves the corners. No body roll turn in is aggressive, just bites.

No adjustable rear control arms needed. Alignment was with in spec, done on a Hunter.
Mild drop front and rear, much better stance.

Time to seek out some track time...

Alignment specs from Hunter.
Front is mild, -0.30*
Rear's seem normal, -1.32*
I expect it could really use -1.5* all around.
