Suspension done. Need some help with shopping list.
Shocks are leaking so it’s time to upgrade. I’ve read a lot of great posts but I’m looking for some advice for my situation. I have a 2010 135i MT with 130,000 km. It’s a DD but doesn’t get driven much in winter. After suspension and brakes get dialled in it will do about 4 track days a year so nothing major. Front upper and lower arms aalready swapped for m3 bits as well as rear guide rod.
I will be installing Vorshlag camber plate up front so I can adjust from summer to winter and track days. I will be installing m3 rear subframe bushings and Ohlins R&T with Swift springs. I’m looking for some advice on which spring rates I should get? I will also be installing adjustable rear toe links and am looking for help on brands. Is there a difference...Dinan, Rogue Engineering, other options? Turner has upper and lower rear monoball shock mounts, are these a good option? Last question is a rear conversion to m3 worth the cost for gains or will it cause other issues like rubbing? Any help appreciated. Last edited by BabyBimmerGuy; 08-15-2019 at 09:04 PM.. |

With the M3 RSFB you can run Swift 672 lb/in springs for a dual purpose vehicle or a bit lower for a strictly street vehicle. I will also be installing adjustable rear toe links and am looking for help on brands. Is there a difference...Dinan, Rogue Engineering, other options? All will perform well. Just come down to price. SPL is another good one. Turner has upper and lower rear monoball shock mounts, are these a good option? Should reserve those parts for a track car. Last question is a rear conversion to m3 worth the cost for gains or will it cause other issues like rubbing? Not likely for a street car. In addition, you will have to get M3 rear dampers. In the case of the Ohlins, it will take 10 weeks to get. |
