Mstache headaches?
I'm thinking of getting the Mstache for my Z. Problem is my driveway. Already, I have to take it nice and slow to make sure nothing rubs. Do you guys have any problems with your Mstache rubbing on speed bumps or driveways? If so, is the Mstache something I should avoid because it rubs too much?

Maybe you should mock-up some styrofoam with painters tape and see if, where and how it rubs?

Also have someone else drive your car slowly at the angle you take entering and exiting the drive. You'll be able to see firsthand just how much clearance you have.

My M coupe is lowered about one inch and with the MStache2 installed I still have 4" clearance which seems to be sufficient for most speed bumps -- at least I haven't hit any yet!
 But are you sure the MStache will fit your 3.0si?

I am at the highest setting on KW V3's with the Mstach1. I scrap here and there and steep driveways I have to go really slow and sideways. In the background you can see another Z4M on stock suspension for comparison.

Hmm... Looks like this isn't going to work. I'll try putting on a piece of cardboard and see if that will hit. My driveway really isn't steep. The problem is at the end of the driveway is a little "gully" for lack of a better term, where rain water is supposed to collect and lead down the street and into the drain.
