E36 M3: Front End Suspension and Big Brake Install | TC Kline SA | Brembo | Turner

[@deweberis2709]

People hate heat shields, but it is important to block the heat radiation / waves from the glowing disk brakes towards the shocker oil; the brake lines and fluid and rubber bushings. 🌞 All those will perform poorly under heavy usage and will decay faster. Matt, the heat shield slayer 😎

[@domkraggp9944]

Makes perfect sense actually

[@Doggepp]

As a fellow E36 M3 owner (euro version) - Im not sure what fitment you ordered the BBS's in, but E36's are notorious for having "weird" fitment. You often run high offset wheels, with no spacer in the rear, and a large spacer up front. Running coilovers, almost no wheel clears the strut since the body is "fatter" and the spring perch is further down. Regarding the wear sensors. You can just "cut" it off, and connect the wires to themselves, and you'll have no code, its just a loop, which gets interrupted when the pads are worn, and then shows a code. I have AP racing brakes up front on mine, and works fine when just connecting the wires to themselves.

[@niklasschroder8273]

Come on Matty, you say Porsche so well and correct, lets do the same with Öhlins ! The Swedish ö is not hard at all, The Ö is very similar to the English sound 'i' in the word 'bird'. Or 'u' in the word 'fur'. Or 'ea' in the word 'heard'. The lips are fairly rounded, but also slightly trumpet-shaped. Let's go , M3 is freaking sick already, you making it even better.

[@j.3854]

That purple monster gonna look so awesome with the 24’s and the drop. Beautiful E36 Matt, I want it!

[@M.lP.]

I did the same thing with the strut tower reinforcement plates. Great thing to have documented for DIY.

[@ajl0426]

When upgrading to anti-roll bars that large on an E36, you have to weld the outer side where the front bar attaches to the frame rail. Once you remove the seam sealer, you will see about 3/16" gap. If you do not weld the outer side, the spot welds on the other 3 sides will tear loose.

[@singletracksender9021]

I’d love to see this guy get his hands on like an e24 m6, it would probably end up being the most valuable one ever.

[@house39chanal]

May I suggest? For the break wear sensor. I think you can just use a wire to loop the wire back and that it.

[@kmpaton]

Correct, the light goes on with an open circuit. Create a loop in the harness and problem solved.

[@mjack70]

When Matty, first pulls out the Brembo’s, I’m like, “that’s not going to fit”🤷🏾‍♂️. Then he tells us what he’s going to do, “whoa, good luck” 😂

[@Jmherbert7]

Trade the TC Klein rear adjustable spring mounts for the ground control articulating ones. They mount on the rear control arm and allow for easy height adjustment. MUCH better product.

[@toddmccardle5125]

Yeah those are much better spring perch it keeps your spring sitting up straight and not bind into the sides I actually have a set of them on my E46

[@BenFenner]

One option for the brake pad wear sensor is to leave it electrically connected, but tie it up somewhere where it will never be messed with. This way you'll never see the brake pad wear light go off, and if you ever want to start using them again you can just install it into the pad. I've also had luck just jumping the connection with a paperclip at the body plug, or use a wear sensor that has been cut and looped (shorted out).

[@SlightlyM3ntal]

Only matt would call a TCK kit "kind of janky" haha. Personally I would have gone with Ground Control but the TCK stuff I've seen is still pretty nice.

[@greasyginzo]

You need a standalone strut compressor. It makes doing strut and spring assembly way way easier.

[@carsmotorcyclesandwatches7815]

[@jeffc6832]

You probably already figured this out, but if the wear sensors can't be coded out...you should just be able to either put in a jumper wire or leave the sensor tied up out of the way.

[@bcastromusic]

car is looking nice. If you want to go crazy you can buy those sensor holder cover thingies. I replace them whenever I'm in there doing brakes or suspension. It's a hard part to find in the etk/realoem they are part # 61-13-1-393-782 and 61-13-1-393-789

[@bcastromusic]

I also notice it doesn’t have the x-brace added. I’m sure you’ve already ordered that - but what is also not very known is the euro M3 came with additional underbody trim coverings to US spec doesn’t have. Check out part # 51712491567 it’s a covering that goes over the whole middle-front of the car over the x-brace and everything.

[@Slowcarfastbeans]

So much a clean environment

[@loekfelten548]

Should do a stud-conversion, makes changing wheels so much easier 😉

[@Schwabz33]

Good Morning! Matt- another thing you could do is coat all the suspension parts in Carpro DLUX with SiC. Just a thought-

[@steveyoung3044]

I believe for the brake pad wear sensors you can just cut the sensor end off and solder the 2 wires together. I think if you do this close to where the sensor plugs in to the car wiring it will be the cleanest and easiest way. I dont believe the sensor will trigger if it is not in the brakes as it is suppose to be so I think you can also ziptie the sensor and the couple of feet of wire up and not have the light come on.

[@toddmccardle5125]

You didn't ruin anything in my opinion buddy just made it better and easier to work on keep up the awesome content and you and Adam need to do a track day with your e36s I think that would be cool video

In all fairness, it would have taken at least 20-30 seconds to clean that part! Sticker on Brembo rotor comes off in 3 seconds though. And no need to clean the face with harsh brake cleaner either. Dryce away! 🤣

[@stefancarle906]

The way the front dust shields are they probably wouldn't have interfered with the new brakes

[@saracantor9231]

Been searching for a lower mile e36 m3. Problem being these cars are meant to be driven and will last so people do daily them. I drove a few from my shop at near 200k back in 99’ and they still performed well.

[@lancelaprarie6128]

Matt is soothing. Hey Matty, I want to pick up the Milwaukee right angle 1/2 in impact but you don’t have the boot. Get it so I can buy it. You also don’t have Swissvax leather milk listed anymore. I want it. Make them happen.

[@clarityautodetails5304]

He switched from swissvax to colourlock

[@MrMonkeyworld9]

was wondering why you had to upgrade breaks, the euro M3s come with 330mm floating front discs with 4 pots from factory

[@NoClassic]

Interesting the kit requires cutting in that area of the knuckle. Tons of force applied to those bolt locations under heavy braking. Could go pretty wrong if someone got the cut(s) wrong.

[@valvemonky4734]

yes i find it strange that you would have to remove so much material on such a critical part of the car !

[@in54ne82]

Installed these on my e90 and the ride is really good but when I had the car height adjusted to my liking, when I lifted the car, at full droop the springs are loose. I don't understand if this is normal or not, if anyone knows anything about these types of coilovers please chime in???

[@ObsessedGarage]

If the springs are loose, technically their are too short for the height you have set. You want a helper spring. That being said. I've had this on many cars that are street driven without an issue.

I am only a few mins in but if you are putting steel brakes on this you are going to make a damn mess of that newly cleaned car behind the front wheels. Why not just trim the dust shields? It is actually way easier than prying them off like you did.

[@harrison1056]

I'm not gonna scroll through *all* the comments to see if anyone said this, but you can just cut the wires that lead to the brake wear sensor sensor and connect them together. If I remember correctly, if you cut it short enough, you can also tuck the wires into the little hidey-hole for the sensor connector and it'll never be seen again.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Great point. I did that on my E92. Forgot about that.
