Below is the link to pics of my wheels, 1999 C43 and shock, spring package.

Wheels are SSR Competitions. Front 17"x8.5" and Rears 17"x9.5". They weigh approx. 15 lbs each.

Shocks are Penske's 7500 series with adjustalbe compression and rebound. They work very well and are rebuildable and tunable.

Spring Perches adjust the car for Ht. by turning that 19mm bolt that goes through the lower control arm. The perches support the Eibach Race springs 2.5" I.D.

Where did you get the SSR Comps in the MB wheel bolt pattern, I can only find them in 5x114.5 not the 5x112 we use.

dtmcoupe,

Sorry I do not know the geometry of the M coupe. And I would need to measure your control arm lengths, along with the location of the springs and shocks and the upper arm location as well.

You should contact Ground Control. They are BMW experts on suspension and have a couple of cars running in the Speed Channel Touring Class.

Ther Phone Number is 1-530-677-8600. Ask for Jay Morris. He also owns a tricked out M3-E46. I know they have a website also.

Nektopoli,

The front wheel is a 112mm, ET35mm wheel for and Audi S4 and the rear is a 114.3mm wheel, ET ? that was drilled to 112mm.

TWS got the machining done for the rear wheel and did a very professional job.
