anyone know who can dial in coilovers?

amr_e90 · 02-04-2015, 09:57 AM

Installed coilovers in my car couple months ago and I don't feel that it's rite , from the height to the dampening . So if anyone knows how to adjust these to spec let me know pm me or text 617 281 1117

The height is kind of trial and error, but my understanding is that height won't affect ride. The dampening you could go to full soft and then crank them up to see how they feel?

amr_e90 · 02-04-2015, 03:48 PM

I have dampening knobs that's not the case . I just want someone that knows how to properly see if the pre load is all set nice and make sure the hight is even front left and right side . Willing to pay a helping hand

amr_e90 · 02-04-2015, 03:49 PM

Btw the coils are sonic tuning s3 coilovers installed on a e90 335xi

FasTrack in Peabody. They dialed in Dmitriy's S2000 and I'll have them corner balance / align my setup come spring.

Thats awesome! I got some new stuff coming in soon, so I'll keep you posted.

No winter meet for me. Car is still surrounded by snow.

Let the black bear hibernate

Yeah we could do that. Any suggestions on location? Maybe we could try a new spot.

SLOWER · 02-06-2015, 11:45 AM

Did you buy a winter car Z?

I was looking at XC90s for cheap, but their value skyrocketed since I waited too long. So I've been using Uber while the car hibernates. I'll hold off since spring is coming soon. Throwing money at suspension and wheels soon.

I like our current spot as the food and drinks are good, they make space for us, and they don't mind us hanging out. In fact I think the owner likes us or was the bmw guy just a manager?

I say this about all parking lot meets but they eventually get kind of boring. I would be up for a cruise meet. Or meet at F1 Boston and race there or something similar. Drag strip or AutoX meets would be fun as well. I mean I know 'we' don't offer the autoX but we could all sign up and compete at the same event as they are usually open to new comers. BMWCCA has some AutoX events don't they? Maybe a 'meet' at the introduction to autoX class/day they have? Those who don't want to compete can still watch and hangout. Just spitballing off the top of my head.

If anyone owned a skilodge I would say a mountain meet in the winter.

Give us a call if you need help dialing in your coils.

For daily comfort, we suggest 5 front and 8 rear.

For more aggressive driving style, try 8 and 12.

Also want to make sure you have the latest version of the coils

Ski lodge meet would not be ideal for the RWD guys.

But I think we could maybe do a meet somewhere else, if anyone has any suggestions. I'll stop clouding up this thread and make a new one.
