Im fitting a set of the HSD to a customers car in the next few weeks. Ill give you my thoughts when I fit them.

If they are any good we will be offering a fully fitted, fully geo race/road for £850 inc vat.

Standard M3, but exactly the same,

Nz m3

Have a read up on a porsche style shock or the BC racing RM series shock. On a standard platform adjustable strut as you wind the platform down to lower the car you lose travel on the damper yes?
With a BC racing shock the travel of the piston always stays the same as the body of the shock is 2 piece and the threads drop inside leaving maximum travel on the damper at all times. Porsche GT3 style thats about the best way I can describe it and why I decided to give it a try over the KW's. I have done cadwell a few weeks ago in the car and the suspension was excellent and still behaves on the road the same as it did standard. I will try it all next year and see how I get on. I don't sell BC racing products as such but I can get a 10% discount so thought I would offer it to fellow members when I saw the post about springs. I cannot knock nor ever would KW as they are superb suspension makers and I would have bought the clubsports but for the difference in price, the level of service BC Racing offer and the quality of the kit I would have been mad not to try it and im now very glad i did.

Oh I get what you mean now ... much like how most of the Japanese suspension firms make their coilover kits.

[Lee13]

Certainly how Porsche make their kits for the German market and as BC racing have been making suspension for the Jap market for 10 years plus, yes it's how they do it now also.

[shane@mbtech]

Heard about a few bc kits breaking and reliability issues on the evo scene though, no doubt they will do the job, but for how long?

[shimmy]

i think it is worth remebering that being involved in a race team doesnt mean that a product is any good (for any manufacturer)

Dont forget alot if manufacturers PAY for their products to be used by some teams and others are supported and subsidised so the a/m scene sees and buys them

The skill is either knowing by experience which is good (which most of us cant do) or alternatively checking out which manufacturers WIN the series repeatedly and dotn always offer the products free to race teams :thumbs:

Bit of a bump.:thumbs:

Did this ever happen? What are you thoughts on the HSD stuff?

Thanks

[anissut]

Also, any thoughts on the Intrax springs? Do they need to be with aftermarket shocks or are they ok with std shocks?

[Thorney]

Sorry, site is wrong the Eibach springs aren't suitable for the CSL only the M3, I will change it.

Shimmy is right, sometimes something that is free is not the one to use. We used to run freebie suspension and now pay for Motons for our race cars.

Nitron, Moton, Bilstein. All cool and with warranty.

[shimmy]

Shimmy is right, sometimes......... .

you must have got the comma in the wrong place John!:thumbs:
