E46 M3 suspension help??? -

tommygm3 · 04-22-2008, 02:18 PM

I have just bought the TCKline full Koni Coilover suspension kit with front and rear camber plates, and it's adjustable from .5" to 2.0" I don't know much about this system but was told it's the best street/track on the market...I can still change my order at this point...any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated..I"m new to this site aswell, my names Tommy.. Thanks guys and girls.

Welcome Tony. TCKline is probably the best street suspension you can buy, congrats!

great suspension...

you should post on M3Forum.com. there is lots of info regarding TCK stuff there.

p.s. rears have camber arms not camber plates. did you buy the camber arms? if so...why??? You are really not going to adjust camber beyond 1.5 - 1.7 for the street, unless off course you plan to track the car

Sorta odd that you "don't know about this system", yet you decided to go ahead and spend the big bucks for it.

Regardless, TC Kline is top shelf equipment. Some of us here are running PSS9s and have been extremely happy with them. I would recommend going to m3forum and doing a quick search on the TC Kline setup; you will get a lot of hits. Good luck!

I heard TCKline is more towards the track, too rough on streets, especially Chicago. Best street coilovers are PSS9s, KW V2 if you want more drop

it all depends on what spring rates you get. If you get double adjustable shocks you can adjust the compression, but most go for single adjustable.

the kit is definitely overkill for most drivers on the street; the SA's are plenty. however, if you like an agreesive ride, with 500 - 600 spring rates, that's when you can take advantage of the compression; but you woudl never move the compression higher than 4 click on the street. Otherwise, you ribs will start shaking

but I agree, the DA kit definitely caters to the "track junky"

Well the reason I went with it was that I bought it off my buddies car... He works for this shop called Fall-line motorsports and they do mad BMW work, so I got a good price, but really didn't get a chance to do much research on it, cause it was already dibbed for and he held back to offer it to me, so I figured jump on it, and resell it if I got bogus feedback and stuff...even before I put it on, this way at least I got a shot at a decent price on it, ya know?
