Fall Line does have some news to release for the 2015 season, but I am not at liberty to share details just yet. We'll update the forum as soon as possible!

Thank you! We are proud to have been involved in this process.

RSS kit is what I used on my GT2, would be keen to try these fall line parts with my CS set up on the M4

What about adjustable drop links to allow for perfect corner weight set up?
I'm glad you mentioned them! We'll be releasing anti roll bar end links very soon.

Impressive, like the integration of the JRZ dampers.
Now this is one hell of a setup. Would like to know pricing for the whole kit, front and rear, including the springs and JRZ dampers as pictured? Send a PM if you have pricing, thanks
We are finalizing pricing on the JRZ solutions now. I'll send you a message!

Also, interesting BMW went with an aluminum rear upright on F8x, I didn't know that. That's a seriously impressive casting, especially considering the loads it's taking with all that torque and it doesn't look all that much more bulky than the cast iron one in the E9x M. Looks like they went with a bolt-in hub rear assembly instead of the press fit? Also appears the rear spring perch is further outboard for a better motion ratio than E9x
Yep, the aluminum upright is interesting! I believe the bolt in hub actually comes as a result of the aluminum upright itself- a press fit application would present a challenge given the steel bearing race. Of course that's also a blessing for anyone who will ever have to change a rear wheel bearing on this car!

You have great eyes- the motion ratio is slightly closer to 1:1 by my (admittedly crude) measurements. The new car approaches a ~ .63, relative to the old car's ~.56.

BMW made quite a few changes to the rear suspension specifically. Beyond the obvious changes to the rear subframe, anti squat and anti dive geometries have changed from the E9x cars, as well as the differential mounting itself. The rear axles are no longer bolted to a traditional output shaft flange, but are instead a splined input shaft directly into the differential. This is useful for saving weight, but makes changing the rear axles on the car a much more involved and time consuming process. In general, most rear suspension components on the car are smaller, lighter, and unfortunately a bit weaker looking than the old E9x stuff. I am hoping that the lighter weight of the car will help to keep things together!

I would be surprised if they went all in with the M4 right away. I would guess they would still field an E92 car along side the new M4. Will wait and see.

Looks like some awesome pieces and excited to see what this partnership yields. See myself in an IND/fall line track prepped F80 in the future, or at least I can hope during the holidays
