TC Kline coilovers
Is anyone running the single or double adjustable coilovers yet? The price is very reasonable especially with included camber plates. I would like feedback before I purchase...

Eyeing these up too. Heard good things about TCK for other platforms.
M-Adaptive is disabled with these I assume?

Yes...because you are replacing the actual damper, you will lose the M adaptive suspension.

I had TCKline Single adjustables on my E46M and Double adjustables on the E92M. Both sets were fantastic on the road, only ever Auto-X'd my E46M and regrettable never got the E92 out there. However, the road setup on the E92 felt far superior to my E46M, might have been the C6Z06 in between that I forgot the feeling, either way they both handled and road very well and with minimal NVH.
The Single Adjustables worked flawlessly on the E46M, I went through multiple spring setups, both standard and the shorty springs, dialing in the car and never had any issues with the suspension. Only issue that ever came up was 1 Shock started leaking, sent it in and got it replaced under warranty, had to pay for a new one vs having it rebuilt since I could leave the car sitting, but it was very minimal costs. TCK has always been super responsive with answering any questions I have on the suspension or setup of the car. I am looking forward to getting the my F80 mid March, and I am going to be looking at getting the new Double Adjustable TCK suspension on the M3. If no one else posts about this suspension in the mean time, I will post a review once get the new suspension installed.

A wide selection of spring rates are also available to suit your type of driving or tracks you run on. The person who did all the R&D, TC Kline, is right here in the US and you can speak directly to him about any question or issues you may have if you can't get answers from your local TC Kline dealer. |

Any idea how the rear shocks are mounted or picture of the kit? Love the setup I have on the E92, but it seems like the F series need to have the wacky spacers at the rear.
Also, I am always wondering why TC went with 2.5" rear springs instead of 60mm, considering the heigh adjuster is still design for 60mm (pretty much my only complaint for the kit along with the lack of helper springs for the rear).

What would be the expected outcome of ordering 350/600 F/R spring set with the SA coilover package for a daily driver (no track time)?
Ideally I'd love to find a setup that performs like the passive suspension on an E92 M3, knowing TC Kline has developed for both platforms. |

Harold,
Could you explain what modification is needed in the rears to install the Koni shocks? Are the fronts straight forward and need no modifications? Also, could we use the stock top hats instead of the camber plates for the TC Kline kit? I'm about to pull the trigger on a the single adjustable kit (if you offer it), just need abit more information. |

Both TC Kline and KW CS are traditional twin tube shocks. They have different valving and such, but overall they are not that different and both are great kits for dual use cars. Dunno what kind of shock design that JRZ is, probably a nitrogen filled monotube is my guess. |

http://www.tcklineracing.com/webdocs...etails1162.cfm Seems pretty similar to me. And I guess the jrz rs two is the only twin tube I'm their line up. Even the rs1 is monotube but the rs2 is a twin tube. So knowing that is the jrz still superior? |

The front is a straight bolt-on. Camber plates must be used with this coilover kit. SA kits are also available now! |

For reliability and longevity, TCKR is no question the winner over JRZ RS and RS1. That said, JRZ's Pro-Line 2 and 3-way are exceptional and good choices for a track only application. |

I wouldn't go as far as calling them actually improving the stock ride quality, especially for new low mileage stock shocks. Solid bearing in the camber plates will introduce a bit, but noticeable increase in NVH, and much stiffer spring will make you feel more of the road, even if the damping is less harsh.
Reliability has been a big plus for TC K DA units though. I done a bit of research into these kits before I picked up mine; there are quite a few e46 guys running close to 100k miles with these shocks, and still perform just fine on the track. But I would get them rebuilt a little earlier though, just to be on the safe side.

Go with a softer springs if you want a better DD. I have these kit on E92 with 400lbs/ft front and 700lb/ft rear springs, over poorly paved, wavy highways, it get a little annoying after an hour or so. Wish we have the same quality of roads that I have driven in Germany.
