i would suggest the stett/forge combo.....It will help you hold boost 10x better than stock and you also have the option for meth in the future.

DOUT · 01-05-2010, 11:49 PM

maybe...
anyone else have a suggestion?

kenneth · 01-05-2010, 11:53 PM

Suspension (there are other set-ups out there)
LSD
M3 suspension parts
Diverter valves

In that order.

DOUT · 01-05-2010, 11:54 PM

I know there are MANY other setups, but I am most lenient toward GC because it comes with camber plates and some other goodies which no other kit does.
I was only thinking of KWV2 so I could save $1000 and spend that on more mods!

Camber plates aside (roughly $400), you are more lenient to GC because it comes out cheaper than other setups. Still, at $2,200 it is an expensive mod and personally I would ask myself what features it I am looking in the coilover before spending. These are konis and so are the TC Klines, the rear dampers (I think) need to be taken off to be adjusted for dampening. I have regular konis and H&R and it bugs me that I need to dismount the rears to adjust them. Anyhow, that is only an example.

Not even sure why this is a question. Lower that bad boy!

Craig@SupremePower · 01-06-2010, 12:15 AM

drop it!!

hun77777 · 01-06-2010, 01:11 AM

i would say springs and forge dv for now.

LSD. later on when you save money for it.

then change it to coilovers and extensive suspension upgrade...

Universal_Magnetic · 01-06-2010, 01:26 AM

suspension

dlbrooks18 · 01-06-2010, 01:52 AM

lower your car then go for LSD

D.yi · 01-06-2010, 03:16 AM

eibach/fsd combo!

Former_Boosted_IS · 01-06-2010, 04:49 AM

For the money, I would go AST over GC coilovers every day of the week.

Bomis · 01-06-2010, 06:40 AM

my wavetrac was probably the best mod on the car so i would go with that....second choice would be coils/suspension....

NRG · 01-06-2010, 07:28 AM

Suspension. (BMW Performance)
LSD. (Wavetrac)

The above are around $1200 each plus the install.

Forge are needed if your MT and boosting high constantly. Charge pipe is if your planning to run meth. Otherwise they both are waste of money.

enrita · 01-06-2010, 07:39 AM

I would do the LSD first and than the complete M3 chassi upgrade. If you are than still not happy about suspension get coilovers or the koni fsd with eibach

Figure807 · 01-06-2010, 07:47 AM

LSD hands down. It will not only help you put all that power to the ground (no more peg-leg), but it will also improve your cornering ability and control. As soon as I find time to part with my car for more than a few days - an LSD is going in...

Yahoo · 01-06-2010, 08:31 AM

Koni Yellows work well with the Eibach springs too.

LSD and M3 parts after that.

cstavaru · 01-06-2010, 08:39 AM

You need the Quaife LSD...

SV Concepts III · 01-06-2010, 11:19 AM

I would do suspension first, KW V2s would be my choice out of those options. GC's are also a solid setup but I like the KWs as a mix between street and track use.

SIEN · 01-06-2010, 11:40 AM

I would do LSD first if that is an option for you, and also the Eibach springs at the same time. It's not perfect but you can live without the FSD's for a while and simply add them afterwards... least you get a bit of a drop from the Eibachs in the meantime.
