I think an m-tech rear bumper would be a nice addition to the whole picture; have you thought about getting one? | | | | | 10-23-2007, 11:27 PM | #5 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |

I have learned two things so far. A: the ride is too stiff, I need to back off some on the adjustment. What was fine when I was 17 is not good when I am 37. My car currently rides like all those cut spring hondas you see running around. B: I need to take more stiffness out of the front than the rear. I got into a sharp series of corners this morning, sticking with an E36 M3... for a couple of moments I was really fighting the car, as it wanted to understeer badly. As you can imagine, I did not want to let off or touch the brakes as this was a 35 mph series of corners taken at 65mph... I surprised the hell out of the M3.. but I also gave myself a racing heart and sweaty palms from the near miss. I am used to my car being just a touch tailhappy (oversteering) | | | | | 10-24-2007, 05:10 AM | #8 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |
