I pick up my 135i in a couple of weeks in Germany but then have to wait for them to ship it back so I can only theoretically test it in my mind until then.

I had another supercharged Miata setup at 550/350 and a 1 inch front bar. Interesting that Clay suggested a similar setup.... I think the 1 series is generally going to follow suit to what I experienced with the Miata. I guess we will see.

Someone out there try it out then I will know for sure...:wink:
Why does such a high front spring rate "sound reasonable" to you?

You know the front motion ratio is basically 1:1, right? And is nothing like a Miata, right?
