E36 M3 Handling
By Thorney Motorsport
Suspension tuning is all about being honest with yourself, what do you want - looks, handling, road, race or a compromise on all the above?
For looks then don't worry about fully adjustable platforms and remote shocks they are pure overkill for that, simply go for a lowering kit. Normally handling is marginally improved and ride only compromised a little but they represent the easiest and most cost effective way of getting the lowered look you want. We can supply and fit kits from all the major manufacturers from Eibach to H&R.

Cars come from the factory with pretty benign settings, the manufacturers don't want hundreds of people throwing themselves into hedegrows at every corner but this does mean that the spirited driver is having some of their fun compromised. We specialise in getting some of this fun back by sharpening up the handling of the car. With standard suspension we're of course limited by what we can do (we're not miracle workers) but we can get some more fun out of these chassis' for just a bit of time.

After any suspension changes we recommend (insist in many cases) on a full geometry alignment, no point in getting it lower if you screw up the tracking at the same time. We have access to our own four wheel alignmet set up. We specialise in track preparation and set up for all the Motorsport BMW's so can adjust the handling to suit your needs, from benign safe set up to full track performance the choice is yours.
For real handling upgrades then you need to look at adjustable shock set ups and in this respect there are a variety of options to go for. We supply and fit all the available kits from Bilstein, Leda and Nitron so the World really is your oyster. We can of course advise which kit to go for depending on your requirements and budget - give us a call.
