I fitted my trackday car with coilovers all round, the car sat with the top of the tyres just below the arch, car went well but when it oversteered it would snatch back violently sometimes spinning you back the other way. After the 3rd time of hitting barriers / banks I had a really good look into w...

Hello Ashley The conversion isnt to hard to do at all, you only need to make up 1 pipe, the return can be made up from the old BMW pipes.
