A front magnetic damper is $367.25. Not exactly dirt cheap, but they do perform well.

Not cheap for a single damper

Not at all expensive either - at least if you've ever looked at truly high end dampers. These are cheap in comparison and a very good deal for what they can do.

Sure, against an off the shelf Koni yellow they are "expensive".. but...

On second thought, for what they do, they are actually not that expensive.
My mindset was blindly comparing to "regular" dampers Ala Bilstein 6 series, Koni Yellows, Etc. as I know them from past experiences

Be careful all when changing suspension components on a 6th gen 1LE. As the suspension is already “That Good”!!! You can upset the suspension tune very easily as is what happened when I went to BMR lowering springs. The rear has never felt the same. It’s got an ever so slight bounce at speed.

Yeah, it's for this reason that I plan to not lower at all. Besides, the stock ride height really is not that bad. The Corvette's are worse. The Lambo Hurican even has more stock wheel gap than the 1LE does.

I do plan however to put solid rear bushing in the rear cradle and do the BMR control and trailing arms, to tighten the rear-end up a little more.

Coming from an M3 with the rear solid mounted to the chassis, you CAN feel the difference with the 1LE's rear with rubber bushings.

After having 1300 miles now, I completely agree with this statement. At triple digit speeds, the Ohlins do feel a little better and quicker reacting, HOWEVER the penalty for that is high for a street driven only car on at lower speeds.

The 1LE still feels very well damped and controlled and ALOT smoother over anything under triple digits. It is even alot smoother and less bouncy at triple digit speeds, just not quite as fast acting.

It definitely is the best dual purpose set-up

So after doing a little research (hit a curb and blew out front strut) OEM price on MRC strut is $650. Thagmpartsguy sells “knockoffs” from what I hear for $350. Not sure I’d go with knockoffs but I was fortunate enough to have a good friend give me one of his for shipping cost. Thanks Robert! Lol
