Nice vid

I probably would be driving that e39 right now if it wasn't green

And the last couple of e30s you bought were real gems :roll:

Thus the being picky now, as I have the luxury of a metro commute to do so.

Do stock sway bars do anything for a slammed car? The stock spring rates for my car were around 140lbs all around, now I'm on 1000/900lbs. Doesn't the sway bar just bind since the links are too long when you're lowered?

i told you, you are running a slammed car, you will not be taking corners as if you have a track race height. not only that, your spring rates are so high, it probably doesn't even matter; it would theoretically make it worse if it was at track ride height. so it is safe to say, if it is lower than the oil pan, remove it. my .02.

I agree. If you had softer spring rates where body roll at the height is an issue than I'd keep the sways. Seeing how your running 1000 ish rates worse case scenario is tearing your towers out.

Agreed. Running those rates you need a cage tied into the towers, as well as reinforcements in many other areas, even the arms are going to be a weak point if you're tied into them. My race instructor runs in a stock 944 class where only sways can be changed, and the stresses of racing with such a large bar snapped his rear 944 suspension in half on turn 10, which is MUCH beefier than or e30 setup. You are asking for an early death to your car.

There is a reason real race cars are built and engineered, not bought and built with many off the shelf parts.

s14.net is back up! what a bunch of farts...

I'll probably be banned for that.

Someone buy my 3.0 m54 please! Cheaper and less miles than any S50 out there!
