romemedrano · 08-10-2021, 11:03 AM

Just finished a track day on Saturday with an organization I run, Turn8 Track Days.

Ambient: 90-95f. (suppose to be 106 but smoke might have helped)
BM3 "Stage 2/ ACN"
Feal Coilovers
F80 Control Arms
No Oiling modifications
Federal RSR Tires 255/35/18 Square.

Fastest Lap.

What are your spring rates? I have 350 lbs/in up front and still hit bump stops on fast compression (eg. small divots at speed 30mph)

Is that a spring rate issue then? Are you lowered or is your suspension travel length reduced?

According to the instructions the coilovers are at their highest in height adjustment. Haven't cranked up the dampening, but was interested to see what springs he is running.
