Everything about Fat Cat Motorsport Suspension

[bigjae46]

Pulling the trigger, finally. Can't believe I'm a year behind!

Got some Bilstein PSS - yes non-M but they are non-adjustable monotubes. They physically fit although I am sure the springs and actual valving is a bit different. Jalad said I may need some different rods - $100? This set of coilovers is $1239, H&R are $1400. Now I need to get my lazy ass to the track, ballast the car up to 3000lbs, corner balance, and then send the results to Jalad.

Was the relationship pretty linear for the motion ratios? Care to share the plots? Curious as the e46 has an instant center basically at the diff which makes for lots of lateral displacement throughout the travel. No real migration of the rear roll center but a whole lot of jacking sadly.

Since you know the instant center location, do you have the suspension hardpoint location coordinates? A friend is wanting to dive deeper into the kinematics and dynamics of my setup.

Small world, a respected local shop owner was just telling me about Fat Cat. I've lots to learn from this thread.

Uhhh... aren't the non-M missing the mounting tab for sway link?
