Our 2001 BMW race car gets a set of coilovers, as well as big brake upgrade. Then we change the aerodynamics of our project to give it a fierce look.

IIIIIIIIIIII FREAKING LOVE THIS!
I would have attached the spoiler to the suspension some how, so the downforce pushes directly to the tires, instead of through the suspension, then to the tires.
I only ever see them get a crap load of sponsers and actually never start and finish a "project"
SO, nothing is getting torqued?? or are you just not putting on your video?
Where is project night shade
They do all that to the front/ rear suspension but wont change the bearings on the hub or just add fresh grease. 23 yr old car.
Non damping and rebound adjusting coil overs is a miss.
Needs camber plates too.
I get they are sponsored by AutoZone, but an actual OE lower control arm would have been much better in terms of quality and longevity.
Having built my 330i up, one suggestion is that with the front end, look into a strut brace and camber plates.
Stock alignment will push on track quite a bit, so getting a set of camber plates (Turner motorsport do a great set) to dial in around 2.5 to 3 degrees of negative camber up front will help balance the car much better.
Stock wise the max you can get up front is around 1 degree, and it isn't sufficient to dial out the under steer. The setup's been proven at a few tracks over this side of the pond including Brands Hatch, Donington, Silverstone and the track known as the 'Green Hell', aka Nurburgring Nordschleife.
