RE: Ride height, looks good to me, but the slammed look isn't my thing, so I might be biased. Someone else with the same, or similar, could provide more insight. |

The rideheight is very conservative, with alittle more than 2 finger gaps all the way round on level ground, hell i was half tempted to raise it slightly but i guess ill leave it be, again dubsesd you car looks fantastic but im amazed you have no rub, im guessing if you look hard enough you'll see a contact point somewhere, especially going by this thread http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=726851 thanks for everyones input......

i dont find it that low at all, just right. my car is corner balanced with camber setting set conservatively, and i dont have issues driving anywhere. i have never even touched the bumper on inclines or driveways. i was at the track yesterday and the suspension performed really well. nose dive was almost non existant and the car felt very tight and level in the turns. just needs some seats now. kw's are also much softer than H&Rs so you might get some rubbing issues if you lower it more. i have read that alot of people found them to soft on the track

Hi Beedub, I would not lower the car anymore than you need to for performance. The control arms should never be more than horizontal to the ground EVER because it decreases the camber and will actually cause more roll. That is why very low track cars run 1000lb spring rates. I can not type out large excerpts from suspension books to give you more info since I am typing on my phone. I have attached a good read from a well known bmw, car geek.

My car is lowered 2" and handles better than the oem suspension especially. It actually performs much better than when I Just lowered it on springs.

This is what you heard Quote:
I was specifically pointing that his car is beautiful, but is too low for a great handling track car. Dubsed said he was most interested in handling. Regarding sway bar end links: Ground control, Ireland engineering. Tell them what length you need by measuring from the hole in the strut to where the sway bar is parallel to the ground. They can be adjusted from both sides. A pics of ground control's attached. Last edited by seank; 08-13-2012 at 03:56 PM.. |

I needed shorter end links and went with the e36 adjustable ones from Bimmerworld. The e36 are about 1" shorter than e46 on the lowest settings.

I did? I was just at a gt3 cup race, and all those cars were lower than mine and had factory original suspension points. The gt3 cup is about 2-2.5" lower than a gt3

What got you so upset? You weren't bothered when I told you how good your car looked? Quote:
But you would probably know if you have chatted with the owners. Last edited by seank; 08-13-2012 at 11:35 PM.. |
