Camber looks to have gone slightly more positive (maybe 0.25deg), but my measurement tool is crude (phone taped to a straight edge with a level). Car feels great. There are perhaps more interior rattles surfaced, but the front is really sharp. I was at the Bimmerfest autocross yesterday and was able to get plenty of runs in. Pics of car as she sits (well, almost: I have cleaned up the cone marks on the rocker panel since taking these )

Looking at the last photo the front tyres are 255/35/18 MPSS so must be a 8.5" 441m up front.
Given that these are et47mm, RW has 5mm spacer fitted to clear strut - see post below http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showp...60&postcount=1. Also RW running camber plates hence he's able to get the top of the tyre further inward and run much higher camber angles than just with LCA + TS. Any photos of your car with LCA and TS installed ??

To sum-up, and complete BP post, for the F8X TS upgrade: Let's talk in milimeters since car is designed in metric. Material - Stainless Steel, Aluminium? OD - 1.5": 38.1mm ? ID - to suit M12: 1/2": 12.7mm ? Length: - Front/Outside: - Pparana 4mm - rwalker 1/4": 6.35mm - Rear/Inside: - Pparana 15mm - rwalker 1/2": 12.7mm Total Length (Front/Outside + Rear/Inside) - Pparana 4mm + 15mm = 19mm - rwalker 1/4": 6.35mm + 1/2": 12.7mm = 3/4" = 19.05mm rwalker reduced 1/2" spacer by half a millimeter: 12.7-0.5 = 12.2mm 6.35+12.2 => 18.55mm length But then Pparana, you talk about 15mm (rear/inside) + 7mm (front/outside), that lead to a length of 22mm, 3mm more than previous setup! So what are the right values in mm to match F8x geometry, more correct wheel placement and less bushing wear, ? Many thanks in advance! Last edited by quenotte; 06-02-2016 at 06:46 PM.. Reason: Bogus calculus... Thanks BP! |

I think if you insist on metric spacers, they'd be 19mm total. Your choice will be whether to do 6mm/13mm or 7mm/12mm (outside/inside).

Very nice thanks! (Sorry for my bogus calculus... )
BP, did you use aluminium spacers or stainless steel? Where did you order them in UK? I plan to use stainless steel spacers to be sure that there is no problem, since we don't have long term feedback about aluminium ones... Last edited by quenotte; 06-02-2016 at 06:45 PM.. |

I bought them off eBay UK - seller 19edward45 - guys name is Vic - email address is victorescott@hotmail.co.uk Vic made the spacers to my specs. Good service, prompt and value for money.

Since this was not clear, what Bee Pee and I ordered for the F8X TS upgrade:
Material - Stainless Steel? Aluminium? OD - 30mm ID - 12mm bore (to suit M12) Length: - Front/Outside: 6.3mm - Rear/Inside: 12.2mm Total Length (Front/Outside + Rear/Inside): 6.3mm + 12.2mm = 18.5mm Thus, I ordered to Vic (See Bee Pee post #80 above ) : - Front/Outside: 2x Stainless Steel 12mm bore x 30mm dia x 6.3mm long - Rear/Inside: 2x Stainless Steel 12mm bore x 30mm dia x 12.2mm long Last edited by quenotte; 06-21-2016 at 03:02 AM.. |
