Jigger...I have no spring pads or adjusting collar in the rear...low as I can go currently. Considering making extended tophats if i want to drop further, or just so that I can actually use the adjuster. the handling right now is spot on though, and I have enough problem getting the z3 on and off the trailer as it is at the height now. |

I really love hearing true use stories and positive results! Thanks much for your detailed review and vendor recommendation. I want to start AutoX and the 318ti needs a new suspension so hmmmm this good deal almost sounds perfect! |
whats a good spring rate for drifting, im about to order some bc racing coils too |
Im using 10k front springs and 12k rear. The reason im using the e36 stuff is that is what i used to have and i just transferred it. |

Would it be appropriate for you to share the name of whomever you worked with at Circuit Motorsports? I've been trying to figure out for months what setup to use on my swapped ti and had pretty much decided to go with TC Kline. These seem like they might be a reasonable option and the price is definitely better. |

Will update with my findings |
I'm using some 17x8.5 wheels that have about 3/8" clearance between the rim and the stock strut body. I assume these use a long enough spring that the spring will be the closest thing to the rim/tire and these will actually reduce the clearance a considerable amount? I assume I'll need a spacer to make these work or is there another option to get more clearance (positive camber from the lower strut mount some how)? |
Your wheels looks like the are pushed really far forward into the wheel well. Are you running M3 offset control arms with the offset bushings? That will cause the geometry to get screwy and make the wheel sit really far forward in the wheel well. BWM never speced a car with both. You either do the standard control arms with the offset bushing, or go the other way with the later m3 control arms but a standard bushing. The build quality does not look that bad on the BC racing coilovers. However, the difference in price between these kits and the other kits you mentioned is in the dampening and the changes that adjustments make. There is plenty of dyno plots showing the changes a Koni DA makes in comparison with the lower end coilovers. Ultimately though, it is what makes you happy for the money spent.. Enjoy.. |
