        Hi,

        Quote - ''I want''


        Eh ?

        To put on what ?

        Thread above suggests its leaving the stable ?

        4 way Intrax absolutely useless
        on a Road Car but very, very good on
        a dedicated Track Car that gets a lift
        there and back.

              Hi,

              Quote - '' it is adjustable you know...''

              All your basically doing when Running
              Race Car Suspension on the road
              is fucking it very quickly.

              Damper valving is not designed for the
              bangs and crashes delived by most
              normal road surfaces.

              Its attrition on Track is bad enough and
              thats mostly running on quite smooth asphalt.

              If you want to get really Trick then running
              quite soft springs [main/tender] with uprated valving, say,
              100% stiffness at 70% compression with
              85% on the rebound and very large hollow 50mm ARB's
              with progressive blades, and the Old Intrax 4 way moves
              up to yet another level on Track and becomes
              virtually undriveable on the road.

              Nathan- enjoy, but they work better with
              softer springs and an increase in valving.

              Shimmy- Primates never make good scholar's
              and on your CSL if a Business Opportunity beckons
              then grab it every time, fuck, CSL is just a Car at the
              end of the day.

                Hi,

                Shimmy- if the CSL stays then so long as you
                keep of the road these would go well
                with some custom valving and springs.



                I think this might be what TrackM3 was offereing ?

                      Hi Danny

                      I am not sure these would fit an E46 or E90.
                      For starters the rear dampers are not the inline model.
                      Not sure about the Mcpherson as well, they look very short.

                          They are from the E90 WTCC cars all ex Schnitzer, Rod lengths can be altered to suit.

                            Hi Alex,

                            To run a shorter rear coilover is not
                            a major problem just require ''extended''
                            hangers, same basis as the Intrax rear
                            coilover ect

                            Fronts, unscrew the rod end housing at the
                            tops and fit 'extension' rods.
                            ie] increase length of damper rod
                            Reduces unsprung weight and with the
                            correct extension you can play around with
                            ride height and use the same ''Mac''
                            top mounts.

                            Having shorter rear spring is good
                            on Track Car, but needs a thought
                            out progressive spring, so that you
                            keep of the bump stops as much
                            as possible.

                            Not exactly plug and play, but no
                            re-inventing either.

                            Regards,

                            The Gorilla.

                              Martin I am not 100% sure here but I know the following.
                              The bmw ms catalog does not list a non inline TTX40 damper (rear).
                              My dampers are the bmw ms ones (with a bmw part number in an ohlins box).
                              Therefore it could be the case that the schnitzer cars ran a different setup with external piggybag reservoir. I dont know how it would fit in the rear suspension ( I havent seen a schnitzer 320si so . Dont know).
