I'm working with Martin Motorsports and Fortune Auto to really nail down their new product line for the e8x/e9x chassis. They give you total options for spring rates, valving (street, strip, track, autoX), and ride height (stock-like, lowered, stanced).

Just curious to see what all the community is interested in, so I can make sure that we have some representation in the development process.

Additionally, Gary @ Martin Motorsports is willing to offer some discounts for those that get in early.

Right now my big suggestions were:
-Front travel needs to remain, even though most will drop their car substantially
-Valving from 350-500f/700-850r spring rates
-Rebound Adjustable with linear adjustment from 30% to 65% critically damped in low-speed rebound
-Little crosstalk between rebound and compression adjustments
-Use Ohlins DFV as example "shock dyno template"
-Main uses will likely be street/track, stance, and drag applications

i'll take a picture shortly of what is left in the box from the installer. ]]> Suspension and Brakes Wescuddles http://www.bimmerboost.com/showthread.php?40716-e82-ST-coilover-noise
