love it! best mod for sure

Tochenzo · 06-16-2010, 07:49 PM

Looking forward to seeing it installed

moveswiftly · 06-16-2010, 07:59 PM

I'm not going to lower the car a lot. It'll be a subtle drop... I don't want to have to deal with bottoming out and scraping my bumper etc.

Sorry to hijack this thread.

What settings will give our cars more oversteer? Is it stiffer fronts settings or stiffer rear settings?

i think the combination of both stiffer front / rear will give more oversteer.

I'm doing the install tomorow morning with achtunge30! CAN"T WAIT!!

BMW86 · 06-19-2010, 02:29 AM

Thanks mate. Let me know what settings you go with and how the car feels. I changed the fronts to 4 from full stiff and the rears are left at 7 from full stiff as set by the workshop.

ianc · 06-19-2010, 11:40 AM

Generally, softer = more grip but less sharp turn-in and stability

moveswiftly · 06-19-2010, 05:12 PM

Me / achtunge30 tried to do this today...
we got the car on jackstands and started with the front passanger side.
Got the bolts off
and were trying to compress the springs to raise the shock but the set of spring compressors i had wouldnt' allow me clearance to use a wrench to compress. The spring compressor's bolts were too long If i held the spring compresors upside down the bolts would touch the roof of the inner fender. If they spring compressors were rightside up the bolts were too high for me to reach.....
I'm probably just going to get it installed.

AchtungF80 · 06-19-2010, 05:16 PM

Sorry we couldn't get this going today. Please keep me posted once you do get it installed, and be sure to re-claim some of that install money!

escobar929 · 06-19-2010, 08:57 PM
