I’m trying to make a highly informed decision before I drop 10-15k on some suspension. |

Just an update, after much deliberation I decided on MCS. Bimmerworld is in a place to provide support now and in the future with car setup where somebody like PSI selling the Ohlins isn't fully dialed into BMWs. I'm sure PSI TTX is a good setup too but for me Bimmerworld and MCS was a better direction.
I stepped it up though and went with the 4-ways. I think I may have been the first person to order those from Bimmerworld? I can't wait to get them on the car and do some tuning sessions. |

All PSI does is suspension.. They service shocks for many pro teams and do have a lot of (propriety) data that they aren't directly letting on to imo. Their baseline setup was 90% of the way there for me. I changed shock settings and ride heights based on my testing, and PSI was fantastic along the way in terms of listening to my handling feedback and guiding me on what to change. These guys know their stuff even if they don't only focus on BMW. From my experience, they're on par with the top notch support you get from bimmerworld. You can't really go wrong with either company. Edit: I see you went with the MCS! Can't wait to hear your review on those 4 ways. Part of what you are buying into is the support and you've got some of the best with James and crew. |

Try AR Motorsports 503-697-3311. Martin will talk with you freely about your needs and set up. Personally he's had 4-5 sets of MCS on different cars and makes. The participate and support race and HPDE.

I'm on MCS 3-way with remotes, running 600/900 springs. Couldn't be happier with this setup. Performs very well on the track, highly adjustable and very comfortable on the street with 0 noise.

At some point I really want to feel just how different the 3-way is from 2WNR for the MCS. So far though very happy with my 2WNR. On 500/800 springs and feel like more would easily be doable on the street without a massive comfort sacrifice.

MCS 2WNR feels wonderful until you've tried the 3WR. |

I fully understand what PSI is capable of and the TTX platform looks to be a very high quality product. There is no BMW tuner (I know the gt4 factory cars are using them on the f82 but that is a spec package)that is racing with these shocks to truly dial them in. If there is please correct me. Another thing to note is I am unaware of any club racers using these shocks currently. If they are they aren't actively talking about them or the numbers are very low. I was able to have great in-depth conversations with multiple people at Bimmerworld about multiple setup options regarding rates, valvling, spring heights, swaybars, etc, etc. I decided to setp it up and went with the 4-ways as something I can leverage the experience from a good friend who has worked previously as a race engineer for an IMSA team. Though I fully expect to rely on Bimmerworld to give me a good starting point and will likely bounce ideas off them in the future. But to your point Bimmerworld seems much more capable as they specialize in BMWs while PSI does not. Last edited by e36clubracer; 07-15-2020 at 11:45 AM.. |

3-way usually gives you rebound (low speed I believe), and then both high and low speed compression adjustment.
4-way gives you the ability to adjust high and low speed rebound independently.

At least in MCS, 3W gives you rebound, low speed compression and high speed compression. Over a 2W it separates compression into low and high speed
4W would be low and high speed rebound separated. The 3W is magic for the road warriors out there because you adjust the high speed compression down and the car just glides over expansion joints etc while retaining excellent manners everywhere else. It's so good that I'm moving the CS from the 2WNR to the 3W and will only buy 3W hereafter.

The MCS 4 ways just came in. The fit and finish is top notch for sure.
Install scheduled for late next week.

I love that they went with gold for the remote reservoirs
I suppose both rebound settings are on the shock body and both compression are on the remote canister? |
