Slammed r52

Okay, so currently I have more of a track set up on my r52 JCW. But with me getting a little pay raise I’m looking to go to the dark side and slam it... hard. This is where I need help.

I have coiolovers in mind. 326 Power from Japan has some great coilovers for the r53. I’ll be getting 20k/20k spring rates front and rear.

The question i have now is, what else? Rear camber links, sway links, and a lot of tires lol. But what suspension parts should I need? (Ex. Helper springs, swift springs, bushings,etc...)

Here is what I’m going for. Feel free to roast away and cringe, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ve looked around the forum with not much luck. So if you know a link please share.

Do you mean 20Kg/mm? The common unit of measurement for automotive spring rate are Kg/mm or lb/in.

20Kg/mm is more suitable for a rail car. 20k lb/in should just be fine for a diesel locomotive.
