I can completely understand you wanting it to be perfect, but what's "perfect"? You don't know as you haven't driven it. A completely flat car is *not* necessarily what you want. If it was, people would just weld up their rear axle and have done with it. All you'll do is end up sinking a lot of money into a car and not understanding it at all. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

The one I worked on had an elite sequential 'box in and 7 series diffs front and rear. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

He needs to know what spring rates the fronts are so he can get the torsion bars the same. I'm getting kw variant 2 coilys. Would anyone be able to help?? I told he I don't want to do any machining to the rear arms and they have to be a direct replacement. Thanks, tom All this information was previously posted  KWs come with 343lb springs. My guide for springs/bars selection (based on getting optimal “wheel frequency”): Rear bars | Rear stiffness % | Front springs 20mm | 100% | 110lb (i.e. standard) 21mm | 122% | 150-180lb (i.e. Eibach 7011) 23.5mm | 191% | 300-350lb 25mm | 244% | 450lb ________________________________________ Cherry Red Rallye Project threadWhiteBMW M140i |

Rick, give it a go. This is only a guide – it depends a lot on the dampers / exact weight distribution / tyres etc.As for ARBs – you use the ARB to tweak the handling (some people do not run them at all on 205s – I personally prefer to have them fitted), while spring rates are more a function of the weight of the car / intended use. ________________________________________ Cherry Red Rallye Project threadWhiteBMW M140i |
