I'll assume you were referring to me - cheers mate! Pic 4 is the M5CS steering wheel trim. I assume you were asking more about Pic 5, which is the VTT rear diff brace plate and Pic 6 is the JXB street bushing centre carrier.
The VTT brace (and bushing inserts for front and rear) is one option for the rear diff bolt bending/failing. Einhorn solid bushing is another, which I had prior to VTT. The JXB carrier removes slop in the throttle feel and makes it seem more 'immediate'. It reduces the driveshaft oscillation on acceleration. |

Also, if you're not keen on dropping $3,000 plus on KWs, you should consider BC coilovers. Just got mine on today and I am quite pleased. KW probably is still the best quality, not going to argue that. But for a third of the price, the BC coilovers are excellent. Will be posting some pictures shortly. Cheers! |

They both look like stout units. The VT looks like a direct bolt up. Does that driveshaft carrier require any modifications to the underbody / chassis... ?

I agree visually they don’t appear that much different although the integrated rim protection in the sidewall is much more effective

got the new carbon fiber shroud produced by indiv.official. looks/feels amazing and quality/craftsmanship is one of the best i've seen; pretty much OEM class. was a bit busy for the past few days but will get around to installing it tonight. can't wait.

I’ve thought that but the cost to buy bc coils here and getting shipped to Australia is almost just as much as buying kw here from existing kw stockists 😂 I’ve had a few more passengers sit in the car and all have noticed improvement in ride quality since the new wheels went on. I noticed a tiny improvement in ride harshness when the Eibachs went on but the improvement from lighter wheels was far, far greater. I test drive both the pre-lci and the lci comps back to back and you can easily tell that the lci is much better with dealing with ride harshness so I asked my local BMW parts dealer to check up part numbers and revisions to the suspension set up between both cars and to my surprise I was told there was no difference. So I then thought it’s likely the software tuning or the fact that there’s less sprung weight in the lci and I’m 99% sure that the lci 892M wheels are lighter than the 765M so thought I’d try that given I wanted a new set anyway. Boom! The lighter 21” wheels and tyres have drastically improved the ride and passengers have easily noticed too without me saying anything to them about the mods. Win-win! |

Instead for now I’m currently talking to a vendor about a set of monoblick forged wheels trying to decide on color. 👀 |

Ask me how i know that. Do not make the same mistake as i did. Unless you don't care to putback the fastening elements to the module bushing. If they make one that fits in G01/G02 without loosing the fastening elements, then that would be interesting to those owners. |
