This replaces the rubber bushing found in the original thrust arm with a spherical bearing that reduces flex, improving handling and steering feel.

Thx to Connor, David and Garrett for the quick upgrades and pics...it was my first time visiting PSI and I was impressed, nice clean shop, and super cool, knowledgeable guys that are very passionate about what they do...and all drive sick bimmers too...had the car out for a few sessions at Sebring and PBIR on the Cup 2's and can say they are pretty soft for Michs but holding up well, after approx 7 track sessions and 3500 miles they are at 4-5/32nd and still surprisingly good in pretty heavy rain...I am running 275 squared so have rotated once...seem slightly softer and more stable than r888 much quieter on street (louder than stock pss tho, w/ valves closed and radio off can easily hear graphite sidewalls echo or whatever it is not bad IMO) don't howl like r888 tho and heat up quicker, but at PBIR, super rough surface low grip extended decreasing radius turns (boring) I would rather have r888 or nto1 for all day lapping...cup 2's felt great at Sebring tho and for dd, stable on bumps and high speed turns and good grip...thrust arm bearings keep front end toe out on turn in cuz rubber flexes and toes in without under hard braking/turning also helps stock abs work better at the limit same as e9xs...we also installed some track pads from IND designed by RaceTechnologies and I'm very impressed just SRF fluid and ss lines I've been leaving them in for dd and they almost never squeal plus feel better than stock at all temps (and I like stock f8x brakes) way harder to fade at track...did get a lil knock back even at full pad depth when trail braking car hard one downside to huge rotors they don't seem to float much thx again PSI later sorry for the novel lol

Recently we had the pleasure of attending UA Cars & Coffee here in Florida. We met up with our friend Joe and his AY F80, along with a few other local BMW and Porsche customers to enjoy a beautiful morning!

We had this beautiful white machine in for a minor service recently, and couldn’t resist capturing several shots at sunset. Please enjoy the photos!

All of us here at PSI would like to wish you a fun and reflective Memorial Day weekend! We will be CLOSED on Monday 5/25 for the holiday, and will re-open on Tuesday 5/26.



Safe travels, and don't forget to take a moment to remember those who serve and have served!

Recently we were privileged to attend our local Cars For The Cure event. As you can see, the turnout was great, and we were all happy to chat and enjoy some amazing cars while supporting a good cause! Our shop's M4 made an appearance as well as several of our friends and customers.

Enjoy the photos!

Earlier in the spring, we drove down to Miami with a few fellow BMW enthusiasts to take part in the Festivals of Speed event. The weather was gorgeous, and we parked on the pier right by the harbor, enjoying the balmy breezes coming in from the ocean. Our friends from Active Autowerke brought out a few of their cars also, and they always put on a great show. Everyone had a great time chatting and checking out all the amazing cars on display!

Enjoy the photos!

Right?!? That stance and that flush look help make the car look unbelievably aggressive. I'm trying to get mine to sit just like that. I'm just worried about the clearance in the front.
