Nice job hanging with the Z4 in the wet!

Are you mostly hanging out in 2nd? Do you have software of any kind? 500 extra rpm meant the world to me in autoX.

[Jean H.318TI]

yeah did faster time than the z4 and the mcoupe, yeah i have barries software with 7000rpms now but gonna have 7300rpms next week and few more tweaks on the tune so a little more power and more rpms

DUDE! I didn't realize it was a gocart track, lol. You never got past 2nd gear That's basically an autocross minus the cones.

[Jean H.318TI]

yeah i know 3rd gear is used 2 times on the straight parts

[Jean H.318TI]

all videos are up, check previous posts enjoy

[FMD]

looks like it was a good time

[Jean H.318TI]

Hell yeah had lots of fun

coudnt make it this weekend cuz snow and my car just blew another rear shock WTF is up with the rear bilsteins, thats the second schock in less than a year, i dont really like this bilsteins anymore and the front feels like is loosing the stiffness too, what do u guys think, go with koni struts or go with coilovers, is there really a good difference for the price or no really? between the coilpver setup and the strut/spring setup, also what other suspension options do i have now that the car is gonna be pretty much a race car for the street, i wanna go with stiffer springs too, around 600 - 800# or so, would the sport springs or coil over handle those rates on the springs?

sorry too many questions that im asking at once, hope some1 understands what im trying to say and can give me some answers

Regular koni yellows and bilsteins won't handle those spring rates. The TCKline DA konis are valved to handle higher spring rates and I think somewhere around 750 or 800 is their limit. It is pretty difficult to do a true dual duty suspension setup with 800# springs and have it be good at both track and street. At the 700 to 800# range, I would think the money is well spent to buy the higher end equipment. Check out the groundcontol systems as I think they can do custom valving on koni shocks.

If you are blowing bilsteins pretty quickly, they are either oversprung or your ride height in the rear is to low and you are constantly bottoming them out. You can put a ziptie on the shock piston and see if it is against your bumpstomps after being on track if you are bottoming out or not. You can also check spring bind in a similar fashion, put a zip tie around the spring in the middle of the coil. If the spring binds, it will more than likely cut through or heavily mark the ziptie.

yeah i think im gonna go with GC but thats gonna have to wait a little longer and also i dont mind the stiffness of the higher springs

Coil overs bro!
