#4. Coilover Upgrade - Input Needed! - from Alan Leung
Top
Date: Mon, 08 Aug 2005 10:41:41 -0500 From: "Alan Leung" <alanleung100@hotmail.com> Subject: Coilover Upgrade - Input Needed! Hi all, After much research on the suspension upgrade on my 94k-mile 95 M3 and I’m thinking about: GC SA Race Coilover Powerflex RTAB Rogue adjustable rear lower control arm Before I place the order today I have a few questions that I can use your collective wisdom. I have been having problem with the bmw-m.net search over the weekend so I apologize if some of these have been discussed before: 1] I remember that there were some concerns about GC coilover rear spring length (7 inch?) and max ride height (11.5 inch?) that can be used before the rear springs bind. Does anyone know if that is still a problem? 2] I’m looking for an aggressive track/street setup and remember from the list that 500#F/600#R seems to be a good combination. Any comments? Am I going to suffer from kidney fracture in the near future? 3] Do I need to remove the rear subframe to swap the rear lower control arms? Any pointers here will be much appreciated. Things look real tight in that department. 4] Anyone knows what the GC articulating weight jack is for? 5] I already have the GC Race rear shock mounts on the car. I vaguely remember it can be mounted in two different positions but I can’t recall the details. Can someone fill me in? Will the Race mount work with the Z3 reinforcement plates? 6] Some listers are using a combination of DA shocks in the front and SA shocks in the rear. Any feedbacks? I understand that some of these topics much have been beaten to death before but I wasn’t as familiar with this topic at the time of discussion. Much appreciation if you can respond again. Alan 95 M3

I have not found a nut/bolt on an E36 that it hasn't broken free. Plus you can use it at the track. The only down side is that it's a bit larger than my air gun so sometimes it's hard to position it. I've used it to spin off crank nuts (surprisingly) I haven't used my compressor in three years. Now if you want to paint you may need the compressor. Get a vertical compressor - they don't take up as much room. Also - factor in that the tanks have a life expectancy on them. Five years I think. So if it is for occasional use don't break the bank for something you need to chuck. Check the tank labeling. I believe the expiration date is to address corrosion issues and as a CYA for the manufacturer so that in ten years when you crank your tank up to 150psi and it explodes taking out half your garage they're covered.

I own a Sears model, virtually identical to that item, with the exception that I have a 6 hp motor on top (and I got it for exactly that price, with the free tool kit, on clearance), and I don't think I want anything smaller than that. It takes 10 minutes to fill the tank as it is, and it is loud as fireworks the whole time. With compressors, you can "make do" with something pretty much completely inadequate, depending on your level of patience. The more important pieces for bare bones adequacy are the impact wrench you are using (most basic 1/2 inch models seem to rate to just under 300 ft-lbs of torque) and the max psi of the tank. If you buy the Sears model you suggested, it will take a very long time to fill the system, but you'll be able to get enough psi out of it to use any impact wrench you want. Once you drop below the operating pressure, you'll have to wait until it fills up again before continuing, which will take its sweet time. The horsepower of the motor will also help you in continuous-use applications. High hp motors will deliver more air per time unit than low hp units. As a result, it is conceivably possible to hook up a high hp motor to a small tank and be able to keep working without stopping for it to fill. Unfortunately, the small twin stack you have there is a small hp motor hooked up to a small tank system. That means not only will you have to wait for it to fill up, but it will be filling up *all the time* and you will have to stop frequently to get any work done. Bottom line: 1. you can make due with the 2hp compressor, but I would recommend something a bit heavier; 2. you might need a heavier impact wrench than provided in the free kit 3. steer clear of the twin stack - it's fine for blowing up balls and checking your tire pressure, but I don't know anyone patient enough to use it for any serious car work.

Any thought on what to do? Yeah, one - nothing. If like most of us, you had filled the diff by jacking up the rear end and crawling under the car (as opposed to working on a lift), you had over-filled it a little. Now it should be just about right. If in doubt, put the car up on the jack stands (all four corners), open the fill hole and see how (little) RP you've lost. My bet is it's still full. YMMV, alex f

Now that i know you are thinking about towing form Atlanta to the Glen, NO WAY should you use a Land Rover. I did this tow 3 years ago in july. Its a tough tow. thno matter which way you go, you are going to run into some big mountain ranges. You need a real tow truck. even with an open trailer. When towing you have to make sure you ahve the proper type of tow accessory. I use a weight distributing hitch on my truck. Trust me, its the best $200 you can spend. The truck and trailer is so stable no matter what the load is. no more trailer wag and the truck and trailer are level, no rear end sag of the truck. If you need more when using an enclose trailer, you can get the sway control bar too but that some serious weight you would be towing. So my suggustion is that you call up Ararda truck and van rental her in Norcross, they rent Ford 350 for towing. That would tow just about anything you want.
