Just got a 96 active Hellrot Ti in great condition. Very happy but it's auto and all stock. Looking to do a 328 & 5 speed swap. Just wondering if you could post your wheel, tire, suspension and brake setup. Been doing A LOT of reading. Lots of great info here although it's a little overwhelming on how many changes need to be done. I'm going to be dd, autox and tracking it. Thanks in advance. This might need to go in the AutoX & Track section?
1. Brakes:
2. Engine & Trans:
3. Wheels & tires:
4. Suspension:
5. Anything else: |  |  | | 03-11-2011, 12:42 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |

1. Stock. Will upgrade to some Hawk pads
2. 99 M52 and stock 318ti trans
3. 16 x 8 7 series mesh on falken's 205/50/16
4. Racing Dynamics springs on Koni adjustables
The Ti with the M52 does fell nose heavy. I haven't auto-x'd it yet, but I feel like the stock setup would not really hold up. __________________

1) M3 vented up front, stock rear, Axxis Ultimates all around (I'll be switching back to stock pads after these are toast: less dust, same bite, wear a little faster)
2) 98 S52 + ZF trans
3) 17" BMW DSIIs (7.5"/F 8.5"/R) on Michelin Pilot Sports. Smallest wheels that will fit over the front brakes; would like something lighter though...
4) currently factory MZ3 stuff, rides high, switching to Bilstein/H&R setup very soon
5) 3.23 LSD medium-body rear end (from an E28) | | | | |
