I have an E34 540i which I am turning into a trackday toy. I have been looking at suspension and seen a KW2 set-up at Demon Tweeks at about £1,100.00

I'm wandering if anyone can recommend an alternative decent off-the-shelf set up and where I can purchase it from? Budget is about £1k - £1.5k


I'm also looking to change out the ARB's. Again, any sugestions?

Changes so far ......

Vortex supercharger
Stripped out interior
Race seats
Roll Cage
5-point harness'
AP 4-pot front brakes with x-drilled disks
18" Alpina wheels



Many thanks

Hi Paul,

Why not dump the supercharger and race it :-)

Give Darren Farrell @ DARJAC Racing a shout. They are near Colchster but will be able to price a whole variety of bits and bobs along with giving top advice.

I'm not tempted with racing (yet!) I had a race prepped Tiger R6 (Pic i my profile) and managed to avoid being dragged in to their one make series. I just don't have any spare time that I could commit to such a hobby!

Back to my original Q. What kind of set up do most of you boys run? Any suggestions on how to make the car more track focused without spending 10's of £££'s?
