Congrats!! I'm anxiously waiting to receive mine! What setting did you set the dampers? How's the ride on the street so far?

its upsetting that Ohlin took so long to come out with this setup. It looks gorgeous. Great price, and a true street/track option.

They told me the end of April, I didn't wanna wait. I was going to switch my spring rates and change the motons up but pulled the trigger at the end.

Agreed though your parked on a angle/dip so the front doesn't sit that low

The picture was actually how low the car was. I raised it two turns on Monday but I'm going back saturday to raise it a little bit more.
Here is how the car currently sits:

I love how it rides on the street, I'm pretty dumped and its smooth like butter.

What spurred you to change the Motons out for Ohlins?

I understand if they were the Motons street sports.

They are the Moton Street Sports.

I purchased them with 800/1100 spring rates.

I changed them to 550/700 which in my opinion is perfect for the track. My old M3 was just my weekend car so the stiffness/bumpyness didn't bother me at all.

Now that I daily drive this M3, I wanted something much softer, I was going to just purchase another set of spring rates, 300/500 but I didn't want to keep playing with spring rates so I just decided to purchase a new set that was already made for street driving.

The motons did seem to handle better then the Ohlins on the street, canyon driving but now, I'm more about comfort rather then handling now.

The real question is whether that is an iPhone 4 or 5. Need to know in order to judge ride-height.

Nice setup!

Oh yeah, well I had Aragosta's back in 'Nam.

Actually not really... I've never even heard of them.

I love these so much... Nicely done

Love them for the street. They dont grip the road like my Motons but they are alot more comfortable.

I'll update with a review after Sunday.

SneakyDeeky · 04-11-2013, 10:56 PM

Quality parts right there.
