Everyone upgrades eventually.  Though, I would like to pick another one up at some point and make it into a budget time attack build, knowing what I know now.
- TCK S/A, with Vorshlag plates
- 336 lb/in front and 700 lb/in rear springs
- OEM 135i front sway bar, 335xi OEM 15mm rear sway bar
- 17x9 wheels w/ 255 tires up front, and 18x9.5 w/ 265 rear
- Currently on Nexen SUR4, but tires change regularly for testing
The balance of the car is nice with this setup. Depending on how much of a jerk I drive like, I can get a bit of understeer, or a bit of oversteer. Limiting factor is tire grip and shocks at this point. Big, fat cars really benefit from pimp shocks and massive rubber. Will move to an R-compound tire once I accomplish a few lap time goals with 200TW "street" tires. |
Oh nice! We have super similar setups, I would kill for 265 square. Might ghetto roll my fenders and just go for it with square 9 or 9.5in rims since I bent my rims a bit going off roading at Thunderhill
