I finally got to one of the local tracks (firm in starve fl) ts feel great, turn in is better, more sharp. Steering is less vague. I even dialed out some camber. Tire wear was great.
Grassroots motorsports runs a 235i magazine car there. They are down to 1.27 times with motion control suspension, a tune and some other items. It is a brutal track on the cars brakes, and tires, lots of turns. If your car feels good here, your set up well. I was turning low 1.24s, think there may be a mid 1.22 with subframe and diff bushings upgrades next. Bottom line is the car is getting pretty close to prepped race car times, with still being a streetable car. |

Some great info here guys. Just pulled the trigger on the LCAs and Tension Struts myself. Also getting some of the Vorshlag camber plates to accompany. Will report back with how things go. Does anyone know the torque specs for the tension struts per chance?
I found the LCA specs in another thread: Lower control arms to knuckle 122 ftlb (165 Nm) Lower control arms to subframe 74 ftlb (100 Nm) Is it just the same? |

Yes, those are the nuts and bolts that I was referring to. Good luck!

And for spacers, you still recommend: Thickness: 0.25" outer / 0.50" inner I.D.: 0.50" O.D.: 1.50" (thought I read elsewhere in the thread that 1.00" O.D. was used)

So you recommend the 1.5" OD over the 1.0" OD, right?

I have the Dinan monoball kit. Any chance this will fit with the F8x TS?
I'm going to assume not given they have a different part for the F8x, but maybe just different spacers? The F22 kit has 5 bolts. F22 - http://www.dinancars.com/product/d28...ries&mid=1183/ F8x - http://www.dinancars.com/product/d28...ries&mid=1178/ |

Interesting...so you went with 1.25"/30mm OD?
It seems people have had success with a range of ODs from 1.00" - 1.50" ... From those with experience from having installed them, is there an ideal OD, or is anything in the range equally effective?

Mine are actually marginally smaller OD than the TS bush OD by about 1mm. All i could source at the time. There're stainless steel so material is more than robust enough for the purpose they're serving and stresses placed upon them are minimal in comparison to what the bolt is under. Mine are getting installed on the 6th Sept so will post if any issues are encountered (which i highly doubt they will).

I was thinking if there was any wear point between the TS, spacers and mounting point, worn spacers would be the easiest/cheapest fix... As long as they don't wear to the point of failure! What's the consensus on stainless steel versus aluminum?
