Ultimate E30 track setup???

[Axxe]

G/C Semi Coilovers with their special valved Konis would make for a good setup for track with lots of adjustability without being too expensive. They're tried, tested and true as well.

give Barry or James a call at RRT (www.roadracetech.com). they are very knowledgeable when it comes to e30's and the track

This will be a late E30, non-M3 located in Indiana.
Just a track day car, no actual racing.
Re$ource$ not a problem.

I will check out s14.net. Thanks for the pointers.

--What year e30 and model? Where are you located region-wise.
--Intended club to race with? (check out Spec E30)
--Current resources available?
--Driving experience?

There's a lot of options available and you have rules to follow if you're going to be racing in the future for example.

Full coilovers require cages in order to have the most durable application in the e30 due to the shock tower design ESPECIALLY if you will use high spring rates. There's numerous e30s with full coilovers out there but not much public facts unless you can reach the respective owners. Another option is to visit www.s14.net and search for pics and discussion.

A call to the following can help you out from the approach of those who actually build the race cars or have sold a lot to racers over the past years. TC Kline - Bimmerworld - Turner Motorsports - Ireland Engineering - VSR -

Welcome and good luck.

A little background:

I come from the Porsche world and I am hardly a BMW or E30 expert. I am looking into building a monster E30 for track days. I am currently in the planning phases.

Question:

I understand that true rear coilovers are difficult to do. I am looking for something in the Koni 28, Moton, or JRZ level of dampers. Has anyone adapted a true rear coilover? Is it even possible?

Finally, if anyone has any pics of a true rear coilover, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Max
