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. |

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... https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1463804 |

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

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.

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

Have a look on UK babybmw forum, plenty of M2 owners who have Billy B16 on their cars https://www.babybmw.net/forum/search...&fid%5B0%5D=86
