To those that run coilovers at the Ring...

At every opportunity mate. Only left on if very wet/slippery on the road and only M-track on track/Ring for warm up laps. Too intrusive otherwise.

precisely way too intrusive, and too boring with it left on.

i would only have the dsc left on in wet/slippery conditions if i was travelling at speed and couldn't be bothered to concentrate.

Is this all on Cups most of the time mate?

hmmm well thanks for the replys guys, some amusing ones to make me chuckle, but then I didn't expect anything less

Basically, nobody has been able to directly answer my question with regard to the difference in DSC intervention before and after coilovers, BUT I have been able to concur that either:

I should stop driving like a pussy and turn DSC off

Or

You lot are a bunch of un-hinged lunatics with to much money to bother worrying about destroying your CSL's!

Wont bother asking for a show of hands!

[funtime]

Actually when I say all, I would like to exclude Dan ^ as he seems to have a more cautious view like myself and also appears to be baffled by the fact this crazy driving is all on CUPS

I think most have told you there is no difference with coilovers and their effect on DSC. That is certainly my experience apart from one very unique corner on one track. Did that not answer the question?

Dan yes, 95% of the time on Cups. The only way it should be.

If we're not useful we're always entertaining on here mate.

I picked that up quite quickly... If I had a pound for every thread that contained either of the two comments below, I could have brought a CSL by now!

or GAY

the point everyone is trying to make to you is that it doesnt make a difference if the dsc intervenes more with or without coilovers. having it left on is too intrusive and hinders fast progression, and it hides the true nature of the m3. you need to learn to drive with the dsc off all the time to get the most out of your car.

some people are of the opinion that the oem suspension is best, others aftermarket suspension. i'm of the opinion that for everyday road use oem is the best compromise, and for track work you need aftermarket to be as fast as you can.

whether the dsc intervenes more before or after coilovers is irrelevant. i personally didn't find a difference, probably cos it was always switched off!
