What is with these ride heights?

I own 2 BMW E92s that sit lower than this M3 GTS does at its lowest setting. One is an M3 and the other a 335i. Far as I can tell, none of these cars in this game sit lower than my cars. Both of my cars have adjustable Ohlins suspension. What’s the deal here?

Do you like to feel the curbs in your face?

That doesn’t happen. My cars are low, yes, but they’re not unusable low. I’m not a stance boi. My point is that both of my E92s have been professionally tuned for street/track use and they sit lower than just about every car in this game.

the ride heights in this game are horrible. like the s13 silvia in this game at its lowest is still a monster truck.

Is running too low ride height on some cars what’s causing that infinite tire smoke bug? That crap is annoying.

Dunno the answer to that one. Thought that only happened in FH5 tho. Haven’t seen it in FM.

I’ve seen and been annoyed and blinded by that ridiculous smoke bug. Just part of the perfect and wonderful physics of FM8.

Weird. I slam my cars pretty hard and have never seen it.

It’s some bug, glitch, or exploit some people are using to ruin the game.

Imagine a rolling burnout at 100mph all the way around the track. It’s like a literal moving smoke-screen.

Tune for STREET/TRACK is something impossile to do and if it’s even closely true, you can’t be having a very low vehicle.
If you are to low on the street you will try to get off the road and a slight twist will leave you stuck with the wheels rotating. And lets not talk about raining days, you have to go 50% slower than with a car with normal suspesions .
Another thing, if you car is setup for track days, you won’t be having very low profile tires.
And the height doesn’t always mean lower better, if your suspension arms are Horizontal, that is the height the car has to be.
Instead of complaining of the height, concentraite on setting them up.

Tell that to my tuner

the s15 with the lowest height start bouncing by itself…
