Cheddas traction bars are an excellent choice. To control the rate of really stiff springs, you need really stiff shocks. Shocks are going to put a big dent in your budget, and tires too. With your suspension set up and race rubber, you'll have the fastest car in the turns, but at the end of the straight, the BMW will be back in your mirror again. For track use I run dot 4 brake fluid, front brake dust cover removed, and ceramic brakes, Dave

Thanks for the info Dave greatly appreciated so running no dust cover is allowing your brakes to cool fast right or do you have another reason behind this?

[rallyxcrx]

Yes, for cooling, I learned this from another pepper that races, Dave

[bart1993]

That's a good idea never thought about it but thanks for the info might you know of any sites you can find performance suspension parts from that I don't have listed or other tips you might have?

[rallyxcrx]

Your list has some of the best, but here are some more, Pierce Manifolds has Weber carbs, Summit Racing has headers (you'll need a SI pan),and Addco and Suspension Techniques  for sway bars, Dave
