So, I finally got some good seat time in the car, but I noticed a few issues, and wanted to get some input from the more experienced E30 drivers.
Background:
Front and rear - toe Neutral alignment
M3 control arm bushings
H&R Sport springs
H&R sways (Front set to med, Rear set to soft)
Bilstein B8 shocks
Apex ARC-8 wheels, 215/45/17 Falken Azenis
25mm MC
M20 w/ 272 cam
Running the car in STX
( Yes, I know about the cam, no one cares locally, and I'll forfeit my points if I were to win the class. )
I installed a Massive brake setup, 300x22, with HT10 pads. I still have all the ABS items installed, but it's non functional.
These are the issues. There seems to be too much front brake bias, so I ordered parts to delete the stock proportioning valve, and install a Wilwood adjustable piece for the rear. When I was heading into a corner at speed it always felt like there could be more, and the fronts locked up really easily, and I couldn't get the car to rotate at all. Next event, I'll set the rear bar to stiff, and with the proportioning valve removed, hopefully I'll have better brake bias, and a little more loose rear end.
At the last events I couldn't get it to dance at all behind me, felt like a FWD car more than a neutral RWD car.
Anyway, that's my plan, would appreciate any input.
