The urban jungle hates me. The car tenaciously holds and doesn't let go easily. My old ZHP setup that I missed is coming back to life. Ride quality is more compliant than OEM. I've got more tinkering to do but my shock settings are 4/18 for the front and 2/18 for the rear, which are biased to the soft ride side.
I want to dial in front and rear suspension frequency so the rear is 10% faster in Hz for a flatter ride quality.
The Bimmerworld monoball sealed bearing RTABs have transformed the rear direction without introducing any addition noise. I've got a lot of getting used to because my shot OEM rubber RTABs had me oversteering far more than I should.
No complains so far other than it's a long process to adjust rear ride height because the spring perches are tucked behind and up into the chassis of the car. Pulling the wheel off and undoing the lower shock bolt is the only way to give enough spring slack to turn the adjustment collar on the loose spring perch.
whoa - cool! i want to hear more about this process!Quote:

^those are awesome by the way. I haven't adjusted because I don't want to take everything apart but I would have if I had those. Not cheap but awesome to add into a build if you want adjustability.

Rouge engineering has some as well.
I know, but I can't put it in the other side. A have another one on the left side.Quote:
