Think I’m going with tckline DA’s this year for the track. Good product for the price, great reputation as well, and seem to have respectable customer service.

To close up this thread, I made up my mind to go with TC Kline because I wanted a setup for a few track days that I could also daily drive. TCK himself responded to all my (likely dumb) questions which I thought said a lot, even on the weekend. Further, he owns a M2C and tracks/tests everything he sells. In reading other threads, people are sometimes unhappy with their spring rates and the various settings on these trick suspensions.... so in this case, I thought there was an advantage (or at least, lack of a headache) because TCK has already tried it and has the best setups mapped out. Kit is in the mail... will report back.

I've had my front suspension out around six times chasing noises. I can't believe how little knowledge they have given the price point of each of their products. You get what you pay for does not ring true here. I've eliminated 95% of my noises and the extra 5% is because the swift 2.5" springs don't properly sit on a 2.5" perch. The Swift spring ID is actually quoted at 2.56", but I measured a 1/4" gap between the top mount and the spring. I'm not sure if the Ohlins provided springs are are a true 2.5" spring, but the Swift springs aren't just binding without Swift thrust sheets, they are actually moving back and forth 1/4" since they don't fit the perch properly (makes a wonderful noise). Not my idea of quality for a $3,000+ suspension setup. I also wasted time adjusting the preload about 20 times to see if that would help the issue. I added Swift thrust sheets today, which seems to have eliminated the horrid binding noise. The problem is the spring still shifts, since it doesn't fit correctly, and the thrust sheets make noise. Completely unacceptable given the cost and the wasted time. Ground control is another story... They made things right, but not until after their top nuts partially stripped the threads on my strut. There's more to this story, but I get to worked up over this crap. It's fun getting accused of **** that's not your fault. Last edited by jashton; 12-02-2019 at 06:48 PM.. |

FYI I have MCS singles on my E92 M3 "street" car that sees occasional track time with Hoosier R7. It is more comfortable on the street than stock. Then I have MCS triples on my E46 M3 race car. |

That said, everything I have read about the MCS setup is epic, and I would love to try it out. Im fighting with myself about building a E36 Racecar for WRL and would likely use MCS on that car if I go through with it. Building the car all depends on whether a divorce would go hand in hand with the racecar

BTW One of my good friends had a OG M2 in which AR installed MCS singles. Then he bought and M2C and they moved the MCS over. He daily drives both along with HPDE. They likely sell and install more MCS than anyone. Hundreds and hundreds of sets....... |

Right now on the street I have the track alignment and street shock settings (because I didnt want to pay for an alignment twice with the track day coming up).... The ride quality on street shock settings: compared to OEM is much more comfortable. It soaks up bumps like you would not believe. I lowered the car an inch so thats the only concern on city Houston streets, but the ride is great! And still when you turn the car in, the handling is amazing. I went with the softer springs, so there is a touch of body roll (less than oem) but its progressive and you feel the tires load up. I've been playing in some corners too with suddenly giving the car more steering input to see if it would elicit any bad responses... none. Tons of grip on stock Super Sports. R888R going on this week and COTA track day in 2 weeks - so will crank up the shocks to track settings and report back.

Haven't tried anything else that might be wider than the Hoosiers. 275/35/18 on 18x9.5 ET28 w/7.5 spacer in front - it is close but they do clear. 295/30/18 on 18x10.5 ET40 clear fine on the rear.

**Update from first track day**
I was very impressed with the suspension. First off, when I cranked up the shocks to the TCK recommended settings the setup was WAY stiffer than the street settings. I really didnt expect such a dramatic change. On the street the thing rides like a cadillac - honestly. Track settings on the street are very twitchy and you feel every road imperfection. On the track it was excellent. I think if it was a dedicated track car I would run the higher spring rates but that is just my preference. I was on stock wheels running 245/265 R888Rs, and the grip was awesome. Turn in was precise and to be honest, not much understeer. Just the right amount of oversteer on the exit but the car really hooks up nicely and elicits that "fun" feeling. Personally, Im not used to a track car with this much power anymore, so I couldn't do better than a 2:37.9 but I was also running OEM brake pads (ATe 200 fluid) so I was adding 50-75 ft of braking. I will add a couple of videos in a moment. Suspension worked exactly as I hoped, no issues with setup. Highest marks from me.

Shake down lap: maybe my 3rd or 4th lap with the car on track, the getting to know you phase. Ugh, watching it is a bit painful, early braking, and slow to the throttle.
Faster lap, but traffic cost be a couple of seconds. Again braking early with the stock pads... and not hitting all of my marks. Made that GT3 kind of mad coming up behind him though!! LOL . All in all, with track pads, and a bit less traffic on a flying lap, I think low 30s, is definitely doable.... wider tires, heat exchanger, tune, custom air box inlets, and custom brake ducts come next!

Very interested to see what you come up with on the air box inlets and brake ducts.
