I had the car out for a bmw club day at the track this past weekend. The car ran beautifully. I just had the exhaust manifold ceramic coated and the head off. Interior of engine looked great. Now the suspension dilemma But now even with bilstein sports eibach springs and m5 sways there is too much roll. I want to tighten it up. Car is great on street, but want to make it begreat on the track. And yes I will sacrifice street drivability. Any suggestions? I have done some research and I have run accross korman, doesnt seem like much out there for more track oriented set ups.

Ground Control Setup

Strut Bars (Front and Rear)

What wheels are you running?

I have strut bars already. I have looked at ground control. I had their setup an an m3 I had. But for some reason, according to their site, their coil overs will not work with bilstein sports. I don'tr know why that is. I guess I should call them and find out. I would think that I could get them revalved to match the spring rates.

They won't work on Bilstein Sports because of the spring perches. They're designed to work with Konis.

I bought the Ireland Enginering coil over set up from TCD. Their set up works perfectly with Bilstein sports.

What did Todd charge you for the coil over set-up?

did you get your bilstein revalved any modifications required?

You should ask Chris two main questions:

1. Are the coil overs installed?

2. Has the car been driven since they were installed?

The first is a crapshoot, the second is a guaranteed no. 8)

Actualy Mr Wise Ass they ARE installed!!! Suprised arent ya Driving to come soon too.......Got some heavy duty shit talking to back up.

I didnt get the shocks revalved at all. I mostly wanted to lower the car less than most lowering springs would have dropped it. I also didnt want to ride like a F350 either.

I dont remember the price but it wasn't all that expensive. They have been in my trunk for a couple years (hence Jeremy's mocking) Give Todd a ring for a price!!

do you know what the spring rates are? Also onIreland Engin's site they only mention fronts not rears. Do theymake rears?

Not sure of the spring rates but you can get any rate your heart desires.
They do have rear coil overs available.....or at least they DID.

I met Jeff this weekend atTech Fest in Tacoma.He was one of the guest speakers. I will be getting some coilovers and bushings from him. I also won a 150$ gift certificate from Korman. What will I spend it on. They have lots of e28 stuff.
