What spring rates will you run?

[doogee]

Going to give 500/700 a shot. See how that goes.

Pimp|!

[doogee]

Finally a decent update!

TcKline's are installed. Kosei's and RA-1's put on. I still need to fiddle with the ride height. The rear needs to come down quite a bit. Looks like I need shorter springs as the adjusters are all the way down.

Mmmmm. No worries, stainless lines will be in soon



Ground Control Race Camber Plates






Missing moldings

Did you buy those camber plates new? I'm looking to get some but I don't know if I should just spend the money on new vorshlags. btw I love the koseis, its looking real nice!

Ya brand new off someone on the forum actually. Paid $450.

They have a flawless design. I even like them better than the TcKline plates on my 328.

So I can definitely recommend the GC's, they have a few version too incase you don't want full "Race" plates. They'd be a mix of rubber mount and whatnot so you don't get the typical noises you get from Spherical mounts.

Vorshlag are really nice as well but $$$

I'd try to find a good condition used set on bimmerforums. You'll get them for half the price.

Believe me I've been looking! How much are the gc race plates new? the vorshlags are $440 new + rape fees from ups which will probably bring it above $550

Looks good man. Some 5.5" 60mm springs will do the trick for you.

His springs are 5.5". The perches are just way up. Someone got lazy after the wheels went on

[craz azn]

^ You sure? I coulda sworn his rear springs were taller than 5.5.... hmm time to look in the Eibach catalog to see if they have smaller springs! Too bad they aren't 2.5"...

[doogee]

Holy shit you're sure they're 5.5 Mike? That means I need a pretty small spring lol.

The car is just too light. TcKline has shorter springs for lightened cars, so I'll give those a shot, I need want higher springs rates anyway.

Rudy, I guess I could always find some 2.5" Height adjusters and use those nifty spring perches I found at Tom's.
