So I've replaced the shocks with Bilstein yellows, the springs with Eibach, overhauled the front top mounts, replaced the rear top mounts with E46 ones and refitted the rear exhaust. Nothing is loose.

And it still grounds over dips and compressions grumpy

It handles superbly in the right circumstances but going over 'bouncy' roads it deffo scuffs the cats and the front drivers side spoiler.

Even the last heap of cr@p (which pretended to be a M3) didn't do this. Help!!!

(I've also posted this over at e36coupe 'cause I'm really stumped by what's going on)

Resolved I'm glad to say after further investigation there was a cut and shut job on the front of the exhaust just at the S bend before the cats.

Roll on the summer now
