No spring or shock modifications. I'm going to leave it in its factory 'street' form.

If you bolt it on, it gives the appearance of fitting...Until you actually give it more than 30% (or so) throttle at which point the throttle cable retainer contacts the bar and then end of acceleration To remedy this, I used three equal-thickness washers (2mm thick). That was about all of the clearance I needed and now the retainer plate has full movement.

I was wondering if it did. Quote: Originally Posted by inlacal Group, I'm finally 'unveiling' my Ti that I've been working on for the last few months. http://www.inlacal.com/white318ti Enjoy!

Instaed of a BBK which may throw off your bias significantly consider the e36 325/28/M3 or e46 330 upgrades, all of which will drastically improve braking. You are still dealing with a 2800lb car and 200hp max. A true BBK seems overkill IMO. All in all the cleanest most tasteful Ti I've sen in a long time.

Congrats. | I never gave this much consideration...I was always concerned with unsprung weight and rotational weight/torque on the rear axles...Are you saying that having too light a wheel upsets braking values? I was about to go with the UUC big-brake kit...But, I'm hearing that I should add weight to the wheels?
