New "shoes" on the 2er

i8ur911 · 03-13-2016, 08:33 PM

Added some new "shoes" to the 228i this weekend.

As it sits now.....
Estoril Blue 228i Msport w/ THP
H&R sway bars
Bilstein Clubsport coilovers
F8x LCA's
M Performance front splitter
M Performance rear spoiler
M Performance M235i muffler
Wagner Tuning catted downpipe
P3 VIDI gauge
19" HRE FF15 wheels
Continental DW tires

The car is mostly used on street, but sees a fair amount of track action as well (with Apex EC-7's).

Upcoming plans will include a custom built rear diff, fixed back front seats (unsure of brand at this second), rear half cage, harnesses and solid and/or spherical bushings (think M235iR).

Enjoy!

Awesome! I ordered mine in Fog. It was a little extra, but well worth it.

I'm running 245/35 in the front and 255/35 in the rear.....the front is SUPER tight (with -2.8* of camber too).

Nice, glad to hear you managed to fit 245s up front! I went with 235/35 and 245/35, I'm still on stock suspension so I'm hoping the fronts won't rub...

How are the sways?

Sway are awesome! This is the first thing I would do if I did it all over again. Makes a bigger difference than springs....as far as handling goes.

That is one good looking car. Nice job!

eclipes · 03-14-2016, 08:52 PM

You did front and rear? How hard was install? Heard fronts are intense, pretty much taking apart the engine to install. Does the rear make any difference?

Yes, I did front and rear. The subframes need to be lowered (front and rear) in order to install. It's not like doing sways in other cars......more of a project.

The sway bars stiffen up the chassis a lot and drastically reduce body roll. I think labor costs will be more than what most people are used to, but again, well worth it.

I like it a lot. Very nice!

Spot on!!!

Perfect style and perfect spec! Well done!!!

i8ur911 · 03-17-2016, 08:29 PM

Thanks guys!

I love the car.....most importantly the handling. The grip it's amazing on track.

Style-wise, the HRE's totally set it off though.

Most of the work done on the car is myself. I work at Turner Motorsport, so our techs do some work as well.......when I'm too "busy" (read lazy).
