Whats the smallest drop I can get from the M7s?

 

dropped the ball on these for my clubman, I think I am the first..? Anyways if you dont have any ready to go for the clubman better get some ready to ship! I am soo looking forward to getting these on the car. If it makes a difference I am looking for a "1.25 drop all around, what setting do I want to put them at?
thx

 

We have them available for the clubman . A "1.25 drop will be no problem and as for settings I run 1 on the front and 6 in the rear for street and canyon and 6 front and 12 or 13 in the rear for the track.

I am not entirely sure what you mean by smallest but the coilovers can be set at stock height ( no drop ) or they can be set so the tires rubb . ( biggest drop ) Feel free to call me if you need further clarification.

sweet, you should have received the order from Alta for it already, if not get on the on the horn with them.. waiting impatiently

 

Track? What track?

 

Are the spring rates different for different models? As in r53 vs r56 vs r55.

 

I would like to know the answer to that too.

 

We have found that so far the supplied springs have been able to accommodate the entire range including the Clubman with good results. We had one customer that was more into track events and he swapped them out for a set of stiffer springs which were more to his liking . The springs are a standard 2.5" id so a variety of brands and stiffness will work. This was a capability we insisted on as we wanted to be able to address a wide variety of applications. Thank you for the question .

Lets not get all nutty and take this off topic but since you ask most recently California speedway .

M7 guys: where is your coilover manufactured? I am quite local to you. Can you install as well?

 

conventional logic would have me thinking you want to go stiffer in the front but both your spring rates on the coilovers out of the box and the compression settings you use here are opposite. is there something I'm missing?

We do not do installs but Johnnys Auto Clinic in San Pedro or Steves Auto Clinic in North Hills are very experienced in installing these units .

I installed M7 COs a week or so ago. Drove 200 miles set at zero. This weekend I adjusted the height (very little settling) to 1" lower than stock and started playing with the adjustability. If you want to go lower in the front, don't follow the M7 directions for a starting point, and start with more of the shock body showing below the adjustable sleeve. They recommend 2 1/8", but I would add at least a 1/2" more. Even then, you may need to remove the shock for more adjustability. If you want to go up, no problem, they can go way up. However, they are an easy install. They also look very well made, and fit very well. I had a few install problem, but they were of my own making and were easily correctable. Alignment and corner balance will come soon, but I plan to play with settings and make sure that the height is to my liking.
A few observations:
-Set at 0/0, the ride was fine. I could imagine using 0/0 or 2/2 for highway trips.
-Set at 5/5 the ride was firm, but the front and rear seemed to not be in harmony when excelerating. The weight would shift to the rear and the rebound would shift it forward and so forth, creating a very subtle and fast back and forth motion.
-Set on 10/10, you can read braille with your tires.
- I then set them on 2F/5R and the car became the coolest thing I have driven. I will continue to play around, but the leason learned with this setting is how important and useful it is to have the ability to tune the front and rear seperately. Also, having the ability to pull the car over and change settings in just a minute is reason enough to buy the M7s. It is in fact the reason that I bought them and am now glad that I did.
I have no adj. front camber plates and a stock rear sway, and will stay that way at least until a track weekend next month. The last thing I want to do now is to add an element that will effect the balanced feeling the car now has.
Good job M7! This product is exactly what you claim it is.

 

just went out and click it over tho this setting. I think I had it 4f/6r, and it was a little too stiff, but wasn't too bad so I left it. I will see how this setting feels..

 

Are there any adjustable camber plates out that work with the M7 coilovers?

 

I'm sure they all do.
