Suspension / Post your suspension setup

« on: September 20, 2010, 10:28:22 AM »

I've installed a set of adjustable height FK coilovers, but only lowered the ride height about 1.5 inches.  I did this to keep tires on it with some sidewall to them.  In my experience with rough roads, this helps quite a bit, I live on a gravel dead end road; great for privacy, but summer equals a car wash every few days.  With this ride height I was able to keep the tire size at 225-45 r17.  I wish I had gone for the adjustable rate shocks but ahh well.

IMO spending money on the suspension dollar for dollar gives the most payback in a fun daily drive, but thats just me.  

I need to replace the bushings next time its on a rack, which should be soon.  I plan on replacing the sway bars and installing a strut tower.  Any suggestions on the sway bars, should I go with stock M3 equipment or something aftermarket?

Hey Joe, You didn't answer the earlier question.. do you mean it will push start, cause if it won't it may be fuel delivery issues as well.

Suspension / M3 suspension compatibility

So far the only issue I've found is that some later M3 wheels have different offset.  I ran into issues with my tires rubbing when I tried to run 245's on the back.

Exterior / Show off your rims - (also, what rim size is preferred)?

Style 68 R17 M3 Rims, most of these are E30 but I figured I'd chime in.

Kilawin, those style 5's take the prize.
