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

I decided to grab a set of TC Kline Single Adjustable to hold me over until I get the Ohlins TTX Kit in for this car. I went with a Brembo BBK 332/328mm GT 4 piston kit and the install was fairly straightforward minus the real man fabrication that I had to do on the steering knuckle.

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 😎

[@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.

[@k3rupt_]

i love watching Matty vids, but after watching this one i know 100% youve never worked a day of construction lol. IDK how many times my shirt and pants have caught on fire from welding. Even with FR clothing on, that shit just helps it take longer to catch on fire lmao. BMWbros for life. dont hate.

[@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.

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.

[@M.lP.]

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

[@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.

[@house39chanal]

90's cars, need some 90's solution. JUST THAT AND GOOD TO GO. HAHA

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.

[@j.3854]

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

[@greasyginzo]

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

[@Twentyfoursilver]

New brakes are awesome , iam enjoying the dialing in process !

[@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).

[@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

[@number36420]

Nothing like some beautiful Brembo brakes

[@timbrown9731]

Daddy Matty ! Making Mike F proud with all that man grinding...

[@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.

[@Schwabz33]

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

[@loekfelten548]

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

[@carsmotorcyclesandwatches7815]

My favorite KZbin channel

[@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.

[@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” 😂

[@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.

[@ScottAles]

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! 🤣

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.

[@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.

[@kimnewling5728]

That was fun. Cool.

[@UaeDelta]

Where is the grade 12.9 studs conversion my dude :(

[@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 !

TC Kline offers shorter front springs for most spring rates. What rates did you choose?

Shoot, I forget what I ended up choosing.

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.

[@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.

[@deeredude]

I was picky before but you and Tommy ruined me. I even said to my wife if I dry ice blast that it'll look like new again. Glad I purchased a nice couch ☺️.

[@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.
