Vivek's Vert.

why 425/750

That is ridiculous it seems. Thought the difference in front/rear weren't supposed to be more than 15% cause it causes a teeter totter effect when turning.

I run 400 and 700, specified by GC.

Mark runs 450/750 on his MT2 e30 vert. To compensate a little bit for the smaller engine and because I want to run a 5" spring since I wont be using camber plates, I decided to go with 425. The fact that 'verts are heavier in the rear and that I have an m42 puts me at around a 51/49 weight balance with me in the car.

This is crazyness to me.

That's what I kinda thought, but he's basically the god of suspension setups.

Money.

Understandable haha

Gonna finally level out the reverse rake? ;)

I'll probably have the rear sitting about level with a 17" wheel, and the front tucking as much tire as I can get away with without camber plates. Right now my car has no real reverse rake, the front sits just about level with the tires, rear tucks about 1.5". The rear's up an inch from my sig.

"Real"

Damn late model rear fenders...

My idea of rake is the frame rail relative to the ground. If the tire gaps are the same, the frame rail is leaning way forward. So in my eyes it looks much better with the back lower than the front.

Nylon machined rear shift carrier bushing

This came in today. Shifting's gonna be awesome. I may also upgrade to s Z4 shifter which is even tighter than my current one. A friend's friend has on in his e30 but his tranny sucks so it makes it hard to shift for him.

There's nothing that I fucking hate more than working on cars right now.

[chadthestampede]

I know, it looks great but I just can't get over the fact that they're reps. I could buy literally any wheels with tires to put on my dad's car and keep these (he honestly couldn't care less what wheels he has) but I can't stand that they're not real

This is funny because Keskins Kt1's are reps.

[Vivek]

Yes, but they're thought of as Keskin KT1's not replica OZ Futuras. I'd actually be fine with the ESM's if they didn't have BBS caps on them. I'm just weird like that I suppose. In my mind that's the difference between copying an excellent design and trying to be something that the wheel is not. I also found out that the ESM's are 16" yesterday...I feel retarded for thinking they were 15's for like 2 months. Not even sure how I managed to do that.

[chadthestampede]

That makes zero sense. You realize that esms don't come with bbs caps.

Rip off the bbs logo and put a bmw emblem on them. Or run them capless like everyone else does.

[Vivek]

Of course I realize that. They're going on my dad's car anyways and he doesn't care either way, so I'm just gonna leave them alone.
