340i Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 hey i like how you're running coilovers and hydros, and have some questions about your setup: why are there four cylinders on the back? wouldn't it work fine with just the lower two? has the suspension design been lvvta tac approved? are you going to four link it? cheers nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hi nick, rear -the top cylinders are the only cylinders, the lower ones are just arms with rod ends in them for adjustment. - no official approval, wouldn't be surprised if i get denied. i'm sure there are multiple engineers on this site that can see issues. - will four link one day. may need to for cert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 anyone got experience/nasty stories about panhard rods? wondering how necessary they are. probably moreso with mono leaf setups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 How does it ride, anyway? Comfy as? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 other than being a boaty 60's ford it rides really well. keen for a sway bar upgrade. having another 80mm travel before bump stops up front and plenty at the rear is just luxury. flying over bumps and dips at highway speed/80kph is awesome. those spax coilovers are a tad haggard (dont ask about what i did to the right front one ahem) but still make it a far better ride than it's ever been. the real test will be running it for a decent while then whipping the frame out of the rear and seeing whats changed shape. if anything it'll be pulling the rear frame rails together, heard some interesting noises when it held istelf up for the first time! windows didnt fall out on the trip to wagnats so meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 whip frame out of rear? youcrazy man don't touch stuff once it works, you better hope all the bolts rust in place so it stays there forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
