Hi Guys, Firstly Merry Xmas to all!! :thumbs:

Now, An idea of a few simple mods to improve handling an performance.... parts ect and who from for example

aftermarket exhaust, spacers, bush kits, ect.. and the Benefits of them give us all an idea on how to improve our CSL's but not deviate to much from the original production. :whistle:

Hi i got the wheel spacers from here
http://www.ca-automotive.co.uk/products-Y2FyX21ha2U9Ym13JmNhcl90eXBlPWU0NiZjYXRfaWQ9MTkmY2 9tcF9pZD0yNg==.html

15mm fronts anf 10mm rear they also do the longer bolts and locking nuts
call and ask for roy :thumbs:

Rear Trailing
Arm Bush
2 per car (each) PFR5-4608 3 17.95

Much cheaper than the limiter kit and does a better job
as it still lets it move as bmw Msport intended it to.

http://www.powerflex.co.uk/products.asp?cat=0003&catalog=0303&submit1.x=25&submit1.y=11&submit1=GO

I also run the top front struts fully in at the top gives better turn in
on track and is ok on the road as well best of both worlds
Hope this helps :thumbs:

That info has been great Mark! Im gonna order the Spacers in the New year and Order Gazs Exhaust. So Whats the advantage up the uprated powerflex bushes?? And are you using Turner adjustable top strut mounts?

The uprated bushes never need raplaced the standard 1 do and when worn
the rear of the car feels crap

I dont use topmounts, just take the strut brace off, then jack up 1 side and push the top of the strut towards the engine, then put the strut brace mounting back on, with out it moving. And do the same on the other side,
then get the rear bushes done. And get the kds at bmw done what a differance it makes.

Great Mark! Can you PM me the Instructions in detail! I seen another Post with a CSL running 10mm Spacers all round.... You say 15mm is better on the front and 10mm on the back? With these few simple mods the car must feel a lot tighter??
