Hello, newbie saying hello. My other car is a rocket 3 :) Just picked up the Z4 winter motorcycle, a bit of a rough diamond but that's the way I like them. I've been around it and see the usual need to replace wishbones, it still has the factory fit dampers/struts with 89k miles on the clock so a suspension refurb is on the cards. Any suggestions which way to go, I'm not looking for a radical rip snorting suspension drop, something mild but upgrade on factory fit.

Happy to take advice and look forward to hearing your comments, views, experience. Rocketman.

B12 / Eibach route I think most people take with suspension. Also if 30mm seems a. It radicle you can add spacers to push it up to a more "sensible height". I think a user called Vester told me about them.
