Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2006 10:08:09 -0500 From: "Will Turner" <willt@turnermotorsport.com> Subject: RE: Bilstein Coil Overs / SALES PLUG The key is to make sure that the shock has enough travel after the car is lowered. If the car is lowered 1 inch, then the engineers make the shock to be able to compress that 1 inch more and start out 1 inch shorter. The benefit of the Bilstein (or H&R) coil over kit is that it is a engineered package vs the sport shock and sport spring combo that is made to "work" with a variety of different vendors products... -WT -----Original Message----- From: Burgess, Kim L [mailto:kim.l.burgess@boeing.com] Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 11:03 AM To: Will Turner Cc: E36M3 Subject: RE: Bilstein Coil Overs / SALES PLUG How does one shorten the springs, install a ride height adjuster, lower the car and retain stock suspension travel in the rear suspension?

#6. Sticky Window - from Ahmad Lutfeali

Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2006 12:08:44 -0400 From: "Ahmad Lutfeali" <m3_racer99@hotmail.com> Subject: Sticky Window Group, I know we just had a discussion on windows; mine have seemed to develop a personality of its own. The window will go up and then it wont come down (this is for a coupe). After a few clicks and eye rolls it will come down. Heck I had the same problem rolling it up. I would press the button and would hear clicks coming from the motor but no action. I did try to swap switches from driver to passenger. Problem is still there. Fuses are fine. Replace the regulator? Thanks, Ahmad

Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2006 09:39:12 -0700 From: "Dave DeBuhr" <debuhr@comcast.net> Subject: RE: [E36M3] Re: Shock removal I bought the victory socket after everyone on the list ripped me a new one when I told them I used an impact. The Victory socket works great. Anyone know what to torque the top nut to. GC said, "until it stops turning." Real nice. I used 20 ft lbs and all seems well. Got rid of a rattle in the camber plate too! Dave -----Original Message----- If you don't feel like using a bench grinder to put flats on the 22mm deep socket yourself, then buy one ready-made from Victory Product Design, see: <http://victoryproductdesign.com/tools_main.htm>, "Koni Shock Front Strut Socket," seventh item down. You should be able to use the same tool setup with the appropriate allen hex instead of the 11mm socket to loosen or tighten the nut on stock struts. Neil 96 M3
