Awesome information in this thread. I think, for my driving style, that I will be going the route of Dinan Stage 2. It may be a little on the higher end, but I feel it yields the best results for what I am looking for.

AFAIK there's not a shock only replacement, there's just spring replacements, coilover conversions for the stock shocks, and full coilover systems. What people would go with differs per person.

Dude, I'm impressed. Thanks for putting this altogether, and for the others pitching in. Glad I have a working knowledge of our suspension set up.
So, what I'm gathering for those keeping their cars on the street and wanting to keep the costs low is that the Dinan springs with the shortened bump stops are the only way to go (from the lowering spring choices). Track use really requires stepping up to the Coilovers. ..I imagine for those of us tracking only a few times per year, the Dinan would be acceptable for the occasion. Any comments? Quote:

In addition, I never have more than two people sitting in the car at any one time so my suspension never bottoms out. I tried driving over a speed bump at 70kmh once to see what would happen, it's the only time I've bottomed out. So I'm guessing since the rear seats and trunk are rarely used is that it's OK to have a smaller bump stop, with a spring that has a slightly higher spring rate.
Again... any insight or helpful comments? Quote:

seeing this, i dont see how sleeve kits could benefit this/a car. We would be adding greater harmonics due to a higher spring rate coupled with stock (lower rate) dampers. it would seem to me, in a non-empirical approach, that this combo would create bounce. also, i dont know if the damper would be able to maintain the same comp/rebound as the spring, which could lead to larger issues. any view on sleeve kits? |

I didn't think the KW sleeve-overs are 400lbs higher.

From my early discussions with Jay at GC it sounds like the EDC (non-ZCP) dampers can handle a F spring with a 400-440 lbf/in rate, as long as the car is not lowered by more than ~0.5" and upper mounts with increased suspension travel are used. |

What a great write up by JAJ. I appreciate that this thread has been going for quite some time, since 2008 and the last comment as of today is Oct 2012. I stumbled across this thread while researching and gathering information related to how suspensions work. Why buy books written by professionals when people like JAJ writes articles like this.

Great thread. I wish someone would study the newer options that are out now like Swift springs (linear) and Ohlins Road & Track.

What options can we compare with EDC suspension upgrades? I do not want to delete my EDC.

I am thinking of installing aftermarket suspension on my m3 next year, but before that I would really like to sit down and learn everything i can about a car's suspension. Andand mathematically workout the setup I am looking for. Can anyone recommend a book or an online course on suspension design and tuning to me? Thanks
