Let us know how you like them too! Quote:
I have the same question as above regarding why you don't like them for the street? Thanks. .

And actually if I eventually convert my car into a dedicated track car, which I may do at some point, then I will probably buy MCS 3-ways. Big fan of the product. I also appreciate what it is designed for and what my street/comfort tolerance levels are.

- One factor is noise. You're moving from suspension top mounts and perches that have rubber to full metal on metal contact. The suspension itself also makes some noise -Spring rates. I run 700/1000. It's not brutal, but it's not cushy like the stock ride. That said, I find the 3W to be a better street suspension than the 2WNR I also have. The 3W is almost completely silent in operation and retains excellent body control even when you soften the settings. |

I maybe able to use my current plates and rear springs. I'm not sold on the external reservoirs; they look bad ass, but seems like extra trouble I won't make use of. Quote:
There seems to be a big hole in this price range ($3,000-4,000) other than the KW ClubSports and the JRZ for a 2 way system all in with plates and springs. .

I don't think the external reservoirs are too much more work, but I'll find that out when install time comes around. |

I used them for 2 weekends and took them off the car. I'm selling them cheap. Just like what happened with Koni's in my E46M, JRZ is blacklisted in my mind. |

The F strut is an inverted strut so the reservoir is attached to the top of the damper (i.e., comes out of the camber plate). Painless to install. The reservoir on the R dampers isn't difficult to install - pop out side vents in the trunk, slip reservoirs thru, make a notch in each vent for the reservoir hose, reinstall the side vents. |

I was able to talk to someone at AST at a Euro meet this weekend. They have 3 E9x there, one race car and one street car and both on their rear true coilover suspension. He was very confident there is no issue with running a true coilover in the rear without any reinforcement. They have many cars running them. He even knew the E36 and E46 rear shock mounts are weak and would need reinforcement.

FYI, APEX is having a group buy on JRZ coilovers for 20% off if enough are purchased.
