That's ridiculously cheap. As said, if you've got the means to fit these yourself then it's easy enough to try. Rear are incredibly easy but we had issues fitting the front Eibachs to my Z4. when we removed the top part, the strut contracted and we couldn't get it to extend again! Required the boys in blue (Kwikfit) to help us out with a quick fix for a tenner in the back pocket of a mechanic. Not sure if my dampers were screwed or whether that all do that, just something to potentially be aware of.

LukeMace, Despite being lowered on H&R's the drop seems the same, having to take it very slow over bumps but I don't mind, gives others a chance to admire the ZED as much as I do!

Post back your results as I've opted not to space my fronts with the lowering incase of rubbing on full lock.

I spaced the rears by 5mm and left the front. Works well!

Luckily, I was able to buy some used H&R Sport Springs for $50 shipped (which would be around 32.1916 pounds)

Thats a great price! Where did you find them? Do you have the link?

So... i have just taken receipt of my £12+pp springs!
Will fit the rears at lunch time, then fit the fronts Tomorrow afternoon (have miss placed my spring compressors :headbang: )! will grab another set today.
Soon as its done i will give it a little hoon to help it sit properly, then pop up some pics of before and after.
Will have to report back aswell to let you know if i can get onto my drive this evening!! :oops:
