My buddy has the R&T on his M2. Great street setup and fine for most track drivers. Just be aware that it lacks front camber plates. If you plan on tracking them the spring rates can be a little soft depending on your skill set.

Probably won't be too many people running my setup, but just to confirm the 20mm spacer resolved the last issue for me.
Now I can get a good nights sleep again....well after I get the dent pulled on my hood from the track day...blah!

9" will be fine. I've been thinking of going to 9" lately.

Didn't you recently move to 9.5 square and make it fit? Why the change of heart?
You mention in the thread about a 17" wheel not fitting around the reservoirs of the clubsports. I do want to move to an 18" wheel and wider tire track set up eventually ...but not yet. In your opinion, if I stick with an 17x8 ET 42 plus 245 Potenzas, can I manage with spacers? |

No idea if 17" would fit with clubsports. Someone will have to test. With spacers or the right offset I'm sure it would clear the reservoir. No one knows the specifics yet.

That's the trick I think... I have a set of 9" wheels for DD, and a set of 9.5" wheels dedicated for track (plus the OEM 8"/8.5" set that I use with my winter tires... but I imagine you don't have that problem out in CA ; )

Today I was the guinea pig. I was able to fit the 3 ways on my track wheels - 17x8 ET42 with 245 RS-3s. My installer also put on the Turner hub extender w/ 10 mm spacers on all 4. I haven't taken the wheel off yet, so I can't tell if the extender has any effect on the distance of the wheel face to the hub. At quick glance though, it appears that I have a decent amount of room inside, but I'm curious to get the wheel off so I can see what's what. As far as fender clearance...looks like I have a little room up front and less room in the rear if I was at full compression. I'm running -2.8 up front and -2 in the rear.

Holy crap is it a bumpy ride on 422 in the Philly burbs. I'm on the pre configured track setup right now. It's not jarring, but I feel (and bop my head to) every single imperfection and patch on the road. I also have f8x control arm bits, Bimmerworld bearing kit on the TS, and Dinan sways.
Think I'll try the street set up while I'm getting my new tires on the track wheels this week. |

Keep in mind some of the stiffness/firmness will always be there because of the much higher spring rate.

This is a great resource guys, much appreciated. Seriously entertaining the notion of picking a set of these up. Id be going 2way as i don't think the extra clearance/cost headache would be worth it for my skill level going with the 3way version. I am having perch clearance nightmares now though and will have to do some measuring when i get my new main track wheels delivered and shod. Currently am running a square 8x18 et 32 front and rear with 235/40/18s which should be relatively easy to space as required. Quick question, with the perches maxed out is ride height significantly below stock?

Going to lower my front 1/4" and pull some camber out with my next set of tires though.

I know I ended up with right around an inch drop up front but I don't know how close I am to max. I did have it corner balanced. I'll check it out this week when I switch back to my track setup.
After two days on the KW suggested street setting, I have to say I'm very pleased. It is a lot more comfortable but still very fun. My wife and daughter haven't been in the car yet though, so that will be the true test. Changing the rebound and compression settings was very easy. The dials are accessible and easy to work. |

Hardest thing for me at this point is to pick a new tire and stick with it (no pun). The RE-71 seems like a winner, but also considering Hoosier's offerings.. |

I thought you experienced a wheel/tyre fouling issue with the reservoirs on the 3 way? Or was it a case of the perches were also posing a problem at those offsets too?

I ended up buying Rival S 1.5's for this year because RE-71s were on back order until July and I needed a new set now. After a little more research, sounds like they may be targeted towards autocross instead of the track, but I'm going to give them a try. On the question around perch height. Rear is maxed, front looked like it had 2 1/2 inches left. Both my helper springs are very compressed. |

June isn't going to happen, I will have the meth and tune part of things sorted out, though.
I've decided to go a bit further with the suspension, and for that reason I'd rather do this job while it's on the hoist for the winter, that way I can pick away at it piece by piece. My EDC cancellation kit just arrived too, but that wasn't the reason for the hold up. Along with the CS's and previously installed M4 LCA/TS's, I'll be doing the Megan Racing 4 link arms, Powerflex rear LCA bushings, Superpro subframe bushings, Derlin diff bushings, Hotchkis F&R sways with uprated links, brake work and having it corner balanced. Also just secured a set of 18x9 et42 ARC-08's, and should be here in a month or so. The season will be half gone at that point, and my work schedule won't allow for much touring around, so I'm going to hit an HPDE event in July for my bday and run the car as hard as I can with PSS's and the Dinan spring setup. Will have to do I think my brakes are going to explode, though, this is a fast circuit, designed/built by F1 drivers. Putting in a set of EBC yellows with SS lines and RBF660 prior to the event in hopes it'll hold up, this is Area 27, in Oliver BC Last edited by Dylan86; 06-23-2017 at 10:45 AM.. |

My friend M4 GTS will be at the track for that event, too, he's bone stock (still a monster) and on Cup2's. Will be curious how our driving styles compare with the two very different cars, and where the final lap times come in. We are going to seat swap if they will permit such behaviour |

http://www.bimmerworld.com/BimmerWor...Bearing_2.html This car is so different with the suspension upgrades. I felt like I had trouble rotating / balancing it before...not anymore...now it feels like a well set up E46. |
