These are on the way to get the SC running the best it can.

Are the CSL manifolds any better than the normal UK ones?or are they just lighter?

Hey bud, the CSL headers are the Euro headers. (ill include UK in euro in this point as there are only 2 kinds really.. Euro (in the case of the z4m, all non US cars had the same headers as the CSL M3), so if you have a non US Z4m, you have Euro Headers (which is the same as the CSL unit)
quote
-"Euro Headers" refer to the European M3 headers. They are fully compatible with Z4Ms
-"CSL Headers" refer to the Headers used in the M3 CSL and the European Z4M."
and you can easily tell if you have the US headers as they have the extra fat cat section at the bottom.
unless the UK has its own kind?

Ahh fair enough, yeah the UK and euro ones are the same! I thought there was some secret performance benefit to be had with the CSL ones. Did you look at the supersprint stepped headers? Supposedly some nice gains to be had there?

I sure did look at them, however, there's a little exclamation point on the ess website when shopping for SC. "Not compatible with stepped headers", why? I have no idea.. but there it is.

Diff refurb took an other direction, bought a proper race LSD to swap into the casing.

But have decided on 30/60 ramps.

Why rally / gravel not the maximum grip circuit set up?
Z4MC - heavily fettled for track use
Lotus Exige - sensible daily driver on the mods slippery slope
Westfield SEiW - in hibernation
Modified RS4 Avant - back in Blighty
S2000 GT - gone

It's s custom setup, not just off the shelf. I had a 4 hour long conversation about what sort of track/race driving that I do and this is what was recommended.
As for ramp angles I can tell you that 50°/65° ramp angles are most forgiving option and excellent choice for grip driving especially for less experienced driver, while 30°/60° ramp angles provide аgressive lock on throttle, but soft on engine braking.
So for our car we've gone for a more aggressive race track setup.

I don’t know much about LSD setups, but aggressive lock up under hard acceleration and more benign behaviour on the overrun (and therefore under braking) sounds like a good idea to me
