Do you stance?

Mad K · 03-25-2014, 01:49 AM

For those who were talking about spring rates and such, my opinion is below. Whether you think its correct or not, i don't care.

10kg up front for our cars with off the shelf coils(i.e. kw, br, fa, etc.) are too stiff, if you had custom shortened piston/shaft/housing(i.e. bws) then it would be fine. Originally, my FA coils came with 12kg up front, immediately I knew it was way to stiff up front, even on full soft. As far as ride height, it didn't change when I had installed the front coils compared to the stock sport suspension. Now I just couldn't order 6kg springs and be done, I had to ship the coils off to get revalved for the softer spring, keep that in mind. With the new setup, I basically took out all of the wheel gap on the stock 18s up front. My front coil doesn't bottom out or any of that nonsense and I'm guessing it doesn't even come close.

To me, my car is almost perfectly balanced. Rear is a little to soft for my liking. For those who are wondering, I have a custom set of Fortune Auto 500s, 6kg Front, 16kg Rear.

I think we spoke previously since we were both the FA guinea pigs and were given the wrong rear spring size.

I agree to the statement above in regards to the front of our cars.

Im rocking 6k and 9k and the rear is way too soft. But our cars squat incredibly hard and the only way to combat it would be to run something in the 20-30k range. Ive talked to FA about it and thats what they "recommended".

I have the E93..also...ughh pain pain.. I am just doing my own preload on them and having this shop in LV install them tomorrow.

I haven't posted for a long while... just repainted my front and rear bumper (i hate scratches :/ ) ... I think i need wider tires...

Facts Only · 03-26-2014, 03:26 PM

Yeah spacers or wider tires would look better

E93FTW · 03-26-2014, 03:28 PM

Not sure if you would call this a stance...

#Tee · 03-26-2014, 03:36 PM

Lol... Yeah kinda figured...

GabeS · 03-26-2014, 04:06 PM

Ok, here is a hint of things to come:
as usual my girls car was the test subject since she already had her coils installed!
10.5x19neg offsets..(I keep forgetting).12x19super neg offsets.

I will be making a build thread once we start the body work for the fenders...
most likely a crazy custom metal fender work will be done.
sticks out about 2" in rears and 1" in front.

these are the front wheels mounted in the rear just to see how it would look.
