Looks like both the M2 and Focus RS will likely be in BS with the C5 FRC for 2017.
Anyone think the port installed m performance coilovers are b street legal?
Is there any provision for camber adjustment on the front of the car (like pulling the alignment pins on the front of the E92)? |
I can speak to all of this since my wife and I are working closely with the Solo Advisory Board in an attempt to get the M2 officially classed for 2017; we have a vested interest in the outcome and want to make sure the car is classed fairly and competitively. As of right now any port installed option that alters the performance characteristics of the car (including lip spoilers and diffusers) are not allowed in the Street Rules. There was some discussion of this as they can be ordered from the factory with those options but because they do not roll of the assembly line with the parts installed they are not legal in Street. If you opt to have the suspension changes they would most likely put you in STU. Motion Control offers a strut replacement for the F87 currently that would be a great option if you were looking at staying in street.
As for pulling the alignment pins on the strut tower to give yourself more front camber that is allowed. Falls under Section 13.8 Part E of the SCCA Rule book.

If offered by the manufacturer for a particular model and year, the use of shims, special bolts, removal of material to enlarge mounting holes, and similar methods are allowed and the resulting alignment settings are permitted even if outside the normal specification or range of specifications recommended by the manufacturer. If enlarging mounting holes is specifically authorized but no material removal limits are specified, material removal is restricted to the amount.

Scca Solo and "classed correctly " .. Isn't that an oxymoron ..
...
Seriously .. Good luck though. Most BMWs don't fare well in BMW classing.
With that info added by
CSBM5 about the lack of * any * adjustability for the stock alignment, wow... There's no way this car won't be killed in classing for SCCA.
They simply don't have a good workaround for placing cars that have a significant design advantage/disadvantage.
