What suspension 2 use 4 track use an bit ov road wiv whiteline arb



  M3, Cup racer'd 182
Hi guys I've fitted a whiteline arb to my cupped 182 and noticed that the car has much less roll on medium setting even on standard suspension.
So I was wondering if anybody has a awesome setup that they are currently using as I'm now after a set ov coilovers but not sure if these are needed now due to less body roll the car is cup packed so 60mm bolt spacing any advice would be gratefull.
Cheers

Kam Racing are doing good offers on the Gaz Coilies ATM! IF not...then the KTR ones from ktec seem popular.

Whats your budget?

Would not really reccomend either of the above from my/others experience.

If its a track car it needs to be KW, AST Or Bilsteins.

I've had GAZ and they weren't any good to anybody. Scrap metal to be perfectly honest. The K-tec ones are fine for a posers road car but as a track car the two most important things are the suspension and brakes. If you buy cheaply, you will end up replacing them so it will cost you more in the long run.

I ain't got a budget don't mind payin big money if the quality is good

General feelings on here amongst those who know is to get KW V2's I think, you might need to get them machined to fit the hub spacing although i'm sure a seller was doing the 60mm spacing option, may have been fred or yozza.

If money is no object, go for kw competition, penske or ohlins.
The kw are built to order, so bolt spacing isn't an issue. I'm not 100% on the others, but i'd imaging they're the same.

Would be worth pm-ing Brown Bear on here. He ran AST's and then swapped for KW's.

Lmao fu*k me m8 Just looked on these an I know I said money is no object but it's not a competition car. Even if I did get the comp coilovers at a decent price they'd b worth more than the value ov the car anyway, even when it comes 2 sell the coilovers second hand no1 on here would wan a touch them as they wouldn't wan a spend half ov wha I paid 4 them :-(. so I'm thinkin ov gettin ast sp2's or kw v2 but more on the ast side at mo only coz they got full coilovers all round an not rubbish springs an hangers on rear.

Cheers 4 all ur inputs iv contacted brown bear an he said the kw's are much better than ast's. So now iv decided to buy kw's just went to order these but there are diffrent ones 4 the Clio with diffrent bolt spacing I know tha mine is cup packed so I'll need 60mm which they don't do, I know I will have to get these modified to fit.
On these kits it gives me kw outputs the 58mm which would be better to get is eqivelant to 105bhp does these kw matter as a simillar kw 2 mine is a 54mm spacin so quite alot ov modifing is needed.
