Anybody know the exact spec of Chris Harris' M2C suspension settings?

Apparently it's some sort of a Bilstein kit built by Lichtfield Motors in UK. He swears by it.

I think I read that Litchfield uses custom spring rates. Maybe someone knows their rates?

Custom springs and dampers

Soon as they are fitted and I have used the car I will do a review here mate. What I know so far.....

Dampers are custom made to Litchfield specs, made by Bilstein

Springs are custom made, spring rates to Litchfield specs, NOT made my Bilstein.

Lots of input from Chris Harris

Apparently they ride better than AST's and M Performance coilovers. Im looking forward to having them fitted.

I found this old thread which recommended these spring rates for the AST 3 way struts.

fronts are 150 N/m (856 lb/in)
rears are 90 N/m (513 lb/in)

In the interest of not completely reinventing the wheel, here is a link to the thread...

Very curious to here your review!

The regular B16 is now offered at around £1000 + VAT... very tempting to pull the trigger on this. But I want to hear if the Litchfield B16 setup is worth the wait and extra ~ £800

Thanks mate

M2C_PLUS has the L'field Nitron c/over package fitted which gives wider range and more granular adjustment than Billy B16.

To yr Q will L'field Billy based setup be worth £800 more than regular Billy B16 setup - I doubt it.

Buy the Billy B16 kit, install it, use for a short while (to let suspension settle) then get the car setup properly ie alignment/corner balanced/ride height and damper setup - you won't be disappointed.

Thanks!

I am trying to look for reviews on the B16 on M2C, but not much is available.

My car is a daily driver with some casual canyon spirited drives. I want the car to feel more confident, slightly lowered and without much compromise in DD comfort, hence the B16

Based on what you are after, Billy B16 would be a great option, esp if you then get the car setup properly.

Have a look on UK babybmw forum, plenty of M2 owners who have Billy B16 on their cars

These are my old (new) wheels

My Bilstein pss10 (Litchfield setup) is set for 4 rear and 7 front, with the minimum drop, which I think is 20mm.

Is yours litchfield version or you set it according to litchfield?
I set mine to 6 front 5 rear and about the same drop as yours.

[Burnie37]

It is the Litchfield version.

This looks awesome! Do you notice a difference in ride characteristics when you're raised vs. lowered on those B16s?

For sure if you raise it, will feel more comfortable. Im still waiting for my 275s for the rear before I raise it. Just want my car slammed lol
