Take the 5mm allen key grub screw off your front top mounts, slacken your 13mm's off then push your shocks in fully.

It makes the standard set-up so much better

Tbh if you do trackdays and have decent tyres it is a bit of a false economy not upgrading suspension as you pay for it in tyre wear anyway.

yeah, I'm well aware of the benefits of coilovers. I had an e36 Track tool with KW's etc but I'm trying to avoid molesting the CSL as long as possible, i just really like the way it handles on the road and don't want to go messing with the suspension just yet.

I probably will go for coilovers eventually. I'm doing a trackday tomorrow so i'll see what the handling is like and make a decision then..

Could you please explain? What difference in wear have you seen?

mainly front inner and outer wear as the car rolls more onto the tyre edges.

its much easier to manage tyre wear

Plenty Of clearance with my current set up of oem csl's 235/265 cups and 12mm spacers front and back.

To keep things similar I should be able to run rears with 12mm spacers and change the front to 3mm spacers, accounting for the change in widths and offset? Does this sound right?

Ie rear : et27 with 12mm spacer on 9.5 inch wheel being pretty similar to
et30 with 12mm but only 9inch wide

And front : et44 with 12mm on 8.5inch similar to
Et30 with 3mm spacer on wider 9inch rim?

Think ive confused myself with all the numbers

I have same wheels mate, -3 camber , no spacer on front, and 10mm rear ..sorted.

Correct
