making videos like thats what we thought how videos should be .. thanks man for the tests of everything you installed and how much it improved lap time ..thanks again man

Moose is high energy

T-Rex Wants to fight you should be the next Speed academy shirt, With DP's face and the wrenches.

One of the few videos that actually shows improvements in track times! Thinking of installing BC's on my M4

Super smooth 6 cylinder, I love my M3

I like these driveway builds. Connie, Helga, they're a different pace from the shop built cars, and I notice you guys aren't shooting for a specific lap time for either car. They're just cool projects you guys are working on for yourselves.

Always like Moose's enthusiasm, you can tell he's a guy who likes to get shit done.

What an amazing video. Very well detailed. Good job camera guy

Thank you!

One of my fav coilover install vids idk why

Glad you guys finally have some Euro on the show.

I really like this series. Not totally overdone and you canadians seem like nice and funny guys to me as a German. Greetings

i love when Moog is in the videos, you guys make a good humour couple lol. That Trex though! ROFL! Gotta love an euro spec E36 M3!

Great video

Moose = legend

Tell him to get a OMP front brace too, will help the turrets alot too. Also I ran the rear adjuster for the spring the other way round, alot easier for height adjustment later

Been looking around for some coils for my e46 and you might of just sold me on some BC's!

I think those rear springs were installed upside down. Otherwise, with the way it's placed, the ride height can't be adjusted. I just installed mine today and forgot to install the factor rubber shims. Gotta throw my alignment into the backlog now! Great video, really helped with navigating the install process.

Nice!

I and my brother made Bmw drift missiles first we did spring chop. When we got some cheap coils dampening non adjustable. So we installed that hard shock and putted in coilover spring with out ride colar and ride was actually the same. Also harder coilover spring and harder absorber on rear wheels reduced wheel hop and i was able to shred in 3rd

Rear spring adjusters want to be at the top so they can be easily adjusted.

Congratulations 🎊🎉🍾🎈 on this change. The car still needs some work. What did you all do next?

OOOHHH JAAA, DAS IST SEHR GUT!

Videos with Moose = pure melee

M3 Evos should have the front topmounts set back for added caster, hence your wheels are sat forward in the arches. BC do sell topmounts for this, would be worth changing to those guys. Keep up the good work

I love the E36 M3! Imo it was an over rated car 20 years ago but today it truley is an under rated car... Cant wait till we finish ours!!! Def want to see more from this car! Thanks for another awesome vid guys.

Imo US spec e36 m3 is still over rated, 328i and US m3 are too close to each other. luckily moose's m3 is euro spec but sadly after seeing coil cover and vanos unit, it is older gen euro s50b30, with 286 hp. Euro S50b32 is more desired with 321 hp

Great video. How have these BC coilovers held up since this video was filmed? I'm looking to buy coilovers for my E36 M3.

yay time lapse

what would you commend for an ideal setting for the damping setting 28 way adjustable dampers

Moose, how have the BCs held up? I’m thinking of getting a set for my E28

The rear spring adjuster goes on the top of the sprig else you can’t adjust it without taking everything else

I'm a simple man. I see Speed Academy posted, I make a new account and hit subscribe

More Moose please. Just rocks up, manhandles shit and gets it done.

Did you have the E-brake on when doing the rears? For future, disengage it and that spring will just come right out.

Did you find it hard to adjust the rear springs with the adjusters on the bottom Rather then the top?

Put that shirt on your page and you got yourselves a customer!

i have had many suspension setups on my euro e36 m3 evo, bilsien b12 kit too stiff and skittish on bumps, hsd and bs coilovers both shit, finnally spent the dough and got kwv3 which are awesome and so much better than all the other cheap tat.

Try jacking both sides of the same axle to save fucking around with arb drop links in the future. Good work though guys!!! And your Mms are our Cms lol!!

Would you be interested in testing 2004 c5 z06 stock power with coilovers and tons of aero on it

Send us an e-mail at dave@speed.academy (no .com on the end). We may start doing more track reviews of local cars and yours sounds like it could be a fun one to try! Dave's done a lot of racing in Corvettes, so it's a good fit for his background and dad-bod.

I'm pretty sure the rear spring adjuster is supposed to be on top of the spring not under it, how can you adjust it otherwise?

Are the top gaskets needed? He was holding it with reinforcement plate.

I want to see Moose driving

Anti-sway bars reduce body roll. Did you upgrade them? Nice coil overs for sure, but body roll is controlled by the bars.

Swaybars only work in roll, springs and dampers work both in roll and in pitch and dive. Swaybars are a secondary tuning device for roll stiffness, but the springs set the baseline.

sorry, can you tell me how many nm the screws must be tightened to? thank you

Don't do one side at a time for coilovers. The swaybar will push up and give you a hard time. Better lift each axle at the same time Edit: oh ok, the end link attach to the coilover anyway. That's a bit strange lol

yes but only the slap ons all the dudes at my track icar told me they weld extra metal to the towers because there's too little metal and eventually the stress cracks the towers because of stiff setups.

@andrewd2911

6 жыл бұрын

The weight of the car is transferred to the chasis sheetmetal thru the separate spring, this the bulk of the stress/load. The separate Damper/shock adds little load to the chassis. The shock tower reinforcememt plate should be fine. A number of track focused cars do a true coil-over conversion, with the spring and shock bolting up where the shock sits. This requires substantial (Welded) reinforcement of the whole area. . The Weak spots in the rear of the car are where the Sub-frame bolts up (Already reinforced from the factory ...because M3), the trailing arm pockets and the sway-bar mounts. These will be welded in at a later date

Why would BMW put those giant mufflers so close to the rear wheels? Almost looks like it could rub.

Shouldn’t the rear reinforcement plate go below the top surface of the shock?

@andrewd2911

It sandwiches the OE sheet metal between the HD upper shock mount and the aftermarket reinforcing plate. Helps spread the loads over a larger area.

That's actually not max camber. You have to remove the inside bolts and set them on the next thread. Still that's a nice setup right there.
