| E36 race setup - suspension I just wanted to post up a quick question. Ive been searching for a couple of hours and found a little bit of info. but i was curious as to what people are doing for track suspension on their E36 non-M cars. im curious as to what might be a good alignment to start with? spring rates? and what are Must haves. and does anyone have any idea of what the PSS9 spring rates are? -CJ      |

| It seems like most answers to this question are based on what the rule book says. What type of racing are you planning on? SCCA ITS, BMWCCA J-Stock, etc?

| If I understand the spring mounting point rules correctly, the PSS9 woudln't be allowed... But I seriously am lacking on my Improved Touring knowledge. What is absolutely required: CAMBER PLATES. Anything else... The best advice I can give you is to call the guys over at ground control and have a discussion with them about your intended class and etc... I'm guessing the answer is something like 500 front 550 rear and some custom valved koni's... but that may be a bit soft for a pure track car.

| I've only seen one of these bolted in, but they should be something you can weld too... http://www.autopowerindustries.com/Application_List.htm You said cage, not bar... but I have a good opinion of these guys too: http://www.hmsmotorsport.com/store/t...rs/e36-rollbar If you are on a tight budget and want good work done reasonably and don't mind traveling - we have a local shop that does very good work. Domination Chassis: http://www.dominationchassis.com/index.htm Don't let the website put you off, they are welders not web designers.  e36 http://www.racepa.com/uploads/post-19-1101545802.jpg e30 http://www.racepa.com/uploads/post-19-1101250820.jpg http://www.racepa.com/uploads/post-19-1101250679.jpg

| My car used to be an ITS car, running all ground control suspension. DON"T DO the rear camber arm rods, they're not legal. 550 is probably a good number for the lighter engine, I was running 700-900s depending on where and when and what weather. The guys at ground control are very helpful.

| does sound like a good setup. what tires are you running? the stiffer the spring rate the more heat the tires take in.
