No bump stops -- for reasons I don't fully understand, it seems this is par for the course with MCS setups around here (and again, BW says not needed) |

In almost all cases, especially on 2/3/4WRs, coil bind occurs before max strut travel is reached. I looked at using a bump stop on my e92 M3 a while ago and it required a relatively long bump stop to get it to engage before coil bind. Thought about using bump stop shims but, at the time, I had trouble finding off-the-shelf bump stops for the MCS piston rod diameter and correct length so I dropped it. Some race shops do use bump stops with MCS dampers and it’s usually with short main springs with helper springs or tender springs. The advantage to a bump stop on a setup where the main spring binds first is to eliminate/minimize the impact load and the sudden loss of grip if coil bind occurs. |

Not to open another can of worms for you but if you are going to redo the suspension again why not look at the gtmore setup? Sure it's more, but not much more in the scheme of all new 2 way remotes. Although I am sure street compliance will go out the window. I think going from 2wr to 3 wr if you ever want to in the future is then just new canisters. |

I’m Running 6in front, BW advised me not to go 5in unless the rate was 850 or above. Having been in and around a whole bunch of MCS setups now, 700/600 seems to be where most people like to max out for a dual purpose car. But since you have the 800/700 setup right now, see how the extra travel and running closer to 100 psi works out - could just do the trick.

You’re right. Price difference is $2060. They price the upgrades so you end up paying the same whether you bought the 4WR (although this is more than just a reservoir change) to begin with or worked your way up from 2WR to 3WR to 4WR.
$2k sounds like a lot when they’re “just” changing the internal compression valve stack and adding a new shaft to accommodate a second external knob |
