  1. Custom Ohlins TTX coilovers custom prototype for my FL5

    Although they look almost fully compressed, there is still a good amount of movement the helper springs provide and they allow me to run minimal preload on the main springs. Usually a McPherson strut type coilover requires about 7mm of preload, reducing the available overall stroke travel of the...
  2. Custom Ohlins TTX coilovers custom prototype for my FL5

    Hey guys, After seeing the only other set here on the forum, I believe from Thailand, and getting no response for more info from the OP, I decided to pursue my own options. Luckily I live only about 70 miles from Sonoma. I received no discounts for my patience, use of my oem parts and time...
  3. Custom Ohlins TTX coilovers custom prototype for my FL5

    Hey guys, This setup is for those seeking the best components for the chassis. I cannot comment on pricing as I honestly do not know how PSi will price the production kits. But if you look around, you can see pricing of the comparable bmw ttx-pro kits available now. I truly believe it is worth...
  4. Custom Ohlins TTX coilovers custom prototype for my FL5

    Please contact Performance Shock, Inc. in Sonoma, CA for pricing. They cost a mountain of pennies, but to me they are worth it.

  6. Custom Ohlins TTX coilovers custom prototype for my FL5

    Here are the dampers installed: First test drive complete. I took the car to a road nearby that has many small undulations due to uneven asphalt. With the oem suspension, it would result in a pogo effect even in comfort mode. Something with the logic of the ads automatically stiffens up...

  8. Payload Limit on FL5 for Long Road Trip

    Payload ratings are due to the tires. Get some extra load tires on 18” wheels and you will be good.
  9. How bad are Rota Slipstreams?

    They cost $35 shipped to the US per wheel to make. You get what you pay for.
  10. CTR Carbon Roof & parts

    The roof is laser welded to the chassis. Do yourself a favor and just wrap the roof in carbon look vinyl after you fix it-good luck.

  13. California SOLD!

    They cleared the oem brembo brakes by a huge margin. With the ap racing by Essex 372mm kit they only had 2mm or so clearance in the barrel and wheel weights would contact the calipers.

    Those blue lug nut sleeves keep the lug nuts in place during wheel changes.
  15. California SOLD!

    Thanks! I would keep them, but unfortunately they do not fit over my brake package with enough safe clearance.
