wow. impressive! what class were you in? what class was the lady in e36 in? what pressure tires did you roll?


nice photos!

SM.. the E36 is in DSP. I'm running 44 front/39 rear, but I arrived at those pressures with the old suspension. I think I'm going to have to go down 1-2psi up front now that the tires are getting better contact with the ground. I generally find that if I have the pressures set correctly, they tend to stabilize after a couple runs.

Do you need a stock front?


E30_Fiend

with a stock rear bar - no, but I want adjustability that an aftermarket rear bar affords. that's why it's off right now. ;)

Those coils worked out great for you Chris. :)

stock front with a 19mm rear is the plan

What size are you looking for in the front? Too big would be too much, you know?

it's hard to tell, it's autox - it's different every time. but I was much closer to the DSP E36 that usually kicks my ass, about 1-2 seconds behind vs 3+. I'm pretty sure my tires were overheating, and they're old anyway (A5's). I'm also certain my driving could have been better (I missed the 1-2 shift twice), but at least all of my runs were clean. :)

Did you cut down your times at all? Pictures definitely make it looks like you cut down on body roll but I'm curious what the effect on your times was.

[nando]

Yeah he got coils. The body roll was greatly reduced but no front sway??!!


E30_Fiend

yeah, don't really need it with these rates. I'll put it back when I get something larger for the rear. handles pretty much like RWD too. ;)

oh yeah, 225s aren't huge :p I got skooled 3 seconds by a guy in a miata running 285 hoosiers on 18" wheels - same size alex runs I think. also got beat by a girl in a flared out E36. lol
