Any street/track feedback on the Z-type? I’m considering ordering a set instead of the CSG CPs. Seems like these could be a similar but much more cost-effective option.
Completed my first track day in the FL5 this weekend! I tracked my BMW M2 many times but this was my first time at Thunderhill West.
Current mods are Eibach Pro-kit springs, ITS ADS, PRL RMM, Milltek Road+ Exhaust, Hondata + Phearable Stage 2, Castrol SRF, alignment with -2 camber all around...
Wrapped up my initial sound deadening plan on the FL5 this weekend. Killmat in the trunk, door cards, and door skins, 4mm aggsound acoustic foam covering the door cards, 3M SM200L Thinsulate lining the trunk, rear wheel wells, and under the rear seats. Road noise is significantly reduced on the...
Thanks to everyone who's contributed to this thread so far - great info here! I've ordered a set of ES-6.2's and DRT-25s for my front doors and a-pillar tweeters. I should have everything coming from Amazon for the front door speaker install using the Amazon links @Icehawk posted.
Not sure if...
Folks running CSG pads: are you swapping the more aggressive C1X pads out for the CP compound for street driving? If not, how is the noise, stopping performance, and rotor/pad life using C1X for daily driving?
When tapping the white plug above the map lights it seems that it cuts power when the car is locked. Does anyone know how long power is supplied after leaving the car without locking the doors?
Same here. The mode has no impact on fuel consumption given the same throttle angle (different from throttle pedal input as this changes with each mode).
I definitely recommend trying the Type S damper module before going down the coilover rabbit hole. It makes a huge difference in how planted the car feels in Sport and +R in addition to riding much nicer in Comfort.
Have you considered the Spoon springs? Small drop and the non-linear spring should improve ride quality a bit.
I'm on stock springs with ITS ADS and love the ride quality. My last car had TC Kline double adjustable coilovers and I wouldn't go back unless I went with something really high-end...
What specifically are you looking to gain going from the factory suspension to coilovers? The factory suspension is pretty capable on track especially if you dial in some additional camber up front. Having said that, I would go with Ohlins or KW if you're looking for a coilover setup that...
Just wanted to thank everyone for all the information and photos in this thread. I just had some Kilmat, AggSound foam, and SM200L Thinsulate delivered. I’ll be starting with the trunk this week and will do the doors and front wheels wells next!
