Coil overs would put me into a different class in autocross, my aim is to modify for STU class per SCCA rules. H&R sport springs are a progressive rate spring. The car is daily driven, so a compromise had to be made. The change out of the oem runflats for non runflats caused the ride to become floaty. The tires I have on the OEM wheels are Nitto Invos.

SCCA Solo 2 rules for STU class + read above about float from non runflat tires.

The minimum tread wear rating for Street tire classes is 140. Stock classes are allowed to run R-compound however R-compounds on a new car would just hide mistakes by the driver. I'd rather slowly build the car to how I like the feel of it and have minimized the mistakes in my driving technique before making the switch to R-compounds. I could run the Dunlops in stock class in oem sizes and be classed in the stock street tire X class which goes by pax time and not raw but I'd rather not due to the float from the suspension

The oem suspension is soft b/c of the runflats being so stiff. With the stock sport suspension and oem staggered wheel sizes, under-steer is induced when accelerating hard from the apex. By squaring up the wheels I remove the under-steer and allow for tire rotation and better tire life.

 

Car looks good bro and nice thinking with the track wheel idea. It can a bit of a head ache changing tires all the time or boning yourself when you hurt a wheel you now need to get to work.

 

because racecar!!!

 

Racekar!

 

how often do you speed in said racecar?

 

how i missed this ill never know

15k is pretty cheap for a newer bmw, you must be exceedingly broke to think thats by any means expensive

 

Looks Good to me

 

Or exceedingly stupid for thinking you can get an e90 for anything close to 15 grand.

 

Most people own 1500 dollar Honda's, and 900 dollar 240s and still live at home. So 15k to them is balling

 

same here.....its his car, let him do what he pleases. looks pretty sharp to me.

hey now, Ive got my own nice little house and cut my own god for saken grass and I think my 9k dollar car is balling as shit ha, especially now that its all painted and looks so damn good....
