What I'm not sure about though is how you're getting your regular "PHAT" M3 down to these weights :smt017 when a GENUINE M3 CSL (without any options, so: no A/C, no CD player, no Xenons or PDC or even Comfort screen) is 1460 kg with 90% fuel, 68 kg driver and 7kg luggage... or 75 kg driver without luggage :whistle: |
Different car (evo), but I did the "what suspension?" thing to death this year. Looked (hard) at Nitron, KW, Exe-tc, Ohlins etc. In the end I went for KW competition 3-way (pricey!)
Now I'm about to do the suspension on my CSL. What I can tell you that I've learnt along the way... 1. Unless you are a suspension guru, stick to a single adjuster setup ! 2. Ideally, top-adjusters are best to save scrabbling around underneath the car 3. Consider carefully the after-sales service you will get. If you need advice on fitting/setup, is your supplier available on the phone and speaks the same language (the real KW setup guy is German, has good english but its not the same...) Also when it comes to needing them serviced/repaired, how easy/costly is that going to be? 4. If you've an off-the-shelf kinda car, buy an off-the-shelf package :) 5. Choose a vendor with a proven experience in your car, not just x years in the suspension industry - all cars are different. For what its worth, for my CSL I'm going with intrax 1k2 from simpson. My next choice would have been KW Clubsports. If KW had a decent (fitting/setup) outfit in the UK I might have gone for them, but their UK arm is just a box-shift job. HTH ! cheers Lee. |

lighter engine componets full exhaust wheels brakes seats the number came up on the scale where the car was corner balanced. still to go is the roof 28kg's and the back of the rear seat 11kg's... can't get rid of the insulation or the windows... and the number for the csl that you gave me is with a driver...( if you can a 68kg a driver!!!:hahaha: ) sorry did not "catch" the joke... |

Hypothetically, 'mine' should be 1300 with full tank (without me inside) at this moment. Where is the Gorilla when you need him ? Do you have any 'real' figures ? |

i did not ask for someone to give the settings on the plate here... i ask to make a comment on the behavior of the suspensions on the road based on their experience.... depending on the car's behavior from it's understeer or oversteer how the wheel's come of the line how it does handles bumps and yaps i would go and set it at my personal preference... I need feedback of how the chassis behaves with the suspension and how everybody who uses a kit of them is feeling the car.... I said i don't want it to be harsh and feel crashy and gives the bottomed out feeling all the time ...i want it to feel hard, stiff, firm, almost noise-less...i am talking about ride quality... i am not thinking moton ohlins intrax. too much for my needs and possibly will never have the "pleasure" to properly use them i want a step up from what i currently have on the car.a step up from medium range coils.i would like single adjustable but the most i would go is clubsport.... I wish you go for the ohlins kit. you used to drool over them a long time ago when you were still in Athens. |
Mine with 2/3 tank fuel, aircon and stereo on Intrax which is lighter than normal suspension was 1420kg with no driver. 1385 with driver and luggage is in the realms of fantasy I'm afriad.
