Alex15stangPP, How have you mounted the external reservoirs for the rear? Are they within the rear wheelwell? Did you drill a canister-sized hole into your trunk? Or did you take the system apart and drill a small hole to pass the line through?

I'm pretty much in the same boat as DivineStrike. This is some of the research I've compiled. Please feel free to correct me if I have wrong info anywhere. Coilover Models: Ridetech HQ- rebound adjustable (fixed compression), montube, no external rervoir Ridetech TQ- triple adjustable...

Do these coilovers come with bumpstops or dust boots? I'd sort of like to protect my investment if I were to spend this much on coilovers!

Awesome build!

Dang, thanks for the detailed response. I knew I was forgetting some of the stuff I learned in school. I guess that's what happens when a M.E. goes off and works in software/networking... I suppose that's why DTM race cars have their diffusers stick out so far. The angle has to be shallow or...

Maybe I'm not understanding something here. I thought the end point of the diffuser should be as high as possible so that the expansion chamber at the back of the car is as large as possible. Increasing the size of the exapnsion chamber forces the air under the car to move even faster, with a...

To be 100% honest I don't have enough tire and driving experience to tell whether or not my sidewall is flexing too much. And I never really worry about my wheel after hitting a pot hole. I know I have enough sidewall to protect me. I know a 35 series wouldn't look right on an 18" rim unless...

I am daily driving on my NT05s here in CA where it never rains. They seem to last as long or longer than the summer Pirelli P Zeros. I am pleased with the NT05s for HPDEs but I don't have exeprience with other track tires yet so take my review with a grain of salt. Running a 275/40R18 square...

I would also like to know GC custom valved Konis compare to the off-the-shelf units.

Looks good! I'm a fan of the 18" setups. What size tires are you running?

I suppose the bumpstop on the old setup could be an important factor as I did increase the rear height about 1/4" to 3/8". One way to find out would be to adjust the BC's down to the old ride height and see what happens. That way we would truly know if the problem was spring rate based or...

According to the spreadsheet floating around here, the BMR performance springs are 170/740 lb/in. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1owkmhivxxWQk62GYzd-W1tL2arQSOM9Bd-TagA8py64/edit#gid=188571511 I completely agree with you. The range of adjustment is very small based on the springs. I...

I thought I'd chime in with my settings even though I am not running BMR springs. Through this whole process of upgrading suspension, I found I am quite NVH intolerant. Allow me to open up with a video. You need only to watch the first 5 seconds: [ame] (p.s. If you watch the whole video...

Ah, good old highway 17.

Any idea if this will be CARB legal?

Niz55, I really appreciate the help but I don't mean to thread-jack from the OP here. I was simply adding that the harsh ride problem has persisted even with the use of the BMW spacer. And yes, I've checked and re-checked the install (I am a mechanical engineer with experience lowering cars...

What bumpstop setup do you recommend if going eibach pro + koni?

I'm not joking unfortunately. This is what the car looked like without the spring pads. And, yes... I ordered the ecoboost specific springs and everything is installed correctly.

Yes, me. I have a 12mm spacer and the rear still sits a little low.
