Ordered them Wednesday and says 3-5 days delivery, next week hopefully.
Looks like I made the right decision by the reports on here. :)
3.0si roadster. Requisite stubby. Sound gen mod. LED numberplate lights. LED boot strip. Interior lights LED too. ZHP gearknob. Daily drive :driving:
Motor in boot. Bilstein B8 dampers. New radio, much better sounds :thumbsup:

Indeed you have.

Let us know how you find it

Also don't forget to get a decent four wheel alignment done after they have been fitted for a week or so to get the most out of it.

A lot of guys run close to BMW M3 CSL settings on the Z4 which includeds running less rear camber etc.

I was going to use DTD in Worthing. There are a few places closer but you don't know if they know how to use the hunter machine properly.
I take it I need to let the suspension settle for a bit first.
