Suspension Update

[fastbmw]

Well, it's been almost 2 weeks with my H&R/Bilstein sport combo. I must say it's quite impressive. Stiffer than my previous M3 springs, lower also (I put the ix spring pads up front (+6mm) and stacked another 7.5 rear spring pad to get a little more wheel travel for the track. It's still lower than the M3 springs by about 6-8mm). It's a lot dartier than the M3 springs. I loved the M3 springs cause they could do everything but now my car is getting more track biased I need the extra stiffness. I don't need bigger sways, there is very little body roll with the stock bar up front and the M3 bar in the rear. If anyone is thinking about upgrading their suspension like mine, let me know and I'll take you for a test ride. Next project - new flex disc, Z4 short shifter and new shift shaft seal.

glad to hear you like it..i'd love for a ride in the car anyhow to compare to my racing dynamics springs....btw you should replace your output shaft seal while your down there :)

Nice, sounds like a blast. Yes, make sure you get both of the seals. I forget which one, but one of them is a b1tch!
