Interested to see how you get on with this on a lowered car Steve , there are 2 speedbumps near my home that my lowered ZMR didn't catch but the E89 on H & R s i have to be at pedestrian speed & even then the underside of the front MSport bumper catches ever so slightly

I always thought the e85 was more susceptible to grounding? Not lowered my cars & they both had M-sport suspension, my e85 used to scrape its chin seemingly everywhere but my e89 has only scraped once so far.mr wilks wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 8:17 am Interested to see how you get on with this on a lowered car Steve , there are 2 speedbumps near my home that my lowered ZMR didn't catch but the E89 on H & R s i have to be at pedestrian speed & even then the underside of the front MSport bumper catches ever so slightly
Maybe my e85 had collapsed a little

If it makes you feel better on my Eibachs the front also can catch a touch unless I am crawling and thats only a 1cm drop. The H & R sit quite abit lowermr wilks wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 8:17 am Interested to see how you get on with this on a lowered car Steve , there are 2 speedbumps near my home that my lowered ZMR didn't catch but the E89 on H & R s i have to be at pedestrian speed & even then the underside of the front MSport bumper catches ever so slightly

I'm yet to scrape the front of my Z4 on anything!
There's a bump coming out of Bluewater that has teeth on the top of it so you can only drive over it in one direction, I occasionally catch the underside of the side skirt but never the front bumper.
I want the front lower on mine though!
I've ordered thicker rear spring pads to raise the rear slightly to help give me the nose down stance I want.
As I get more pics I'll upload! It's likely to cost less than £150 so very good value.

The front height of the E89 has always bugged me, the arch gap is just so big! I was looking at buying the Eibach pro kit soon over the H&R, but as you say it still doesn't lower the front as much as we would like.SteveSmith wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 12:04 pm I'm yet to scrape the front of my Z4 on anything!

Would you still opt for the Eibach kit again if you had another go at it?

That's looks a good drop, definitely lower than the Eibach pros. What's the tyre specs?mr wilks wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 2:57 pmFrom Msport to H & Rs , , just about get fingers between arch liner on rear though offsets are low on et 35 9.5j et 35 8.5jPinkPineapple44 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 2:37 pmThe front height of the E89 has always bugged me, the arch gap is just so big!

Personally, I think the 4 pot doesn't weigh enough so Eibachs plus 6 cylinder looks good.
The H&R's sit too low at the rear for me.

Ideally the front arch gap would reduce by 50%, but the rear is almost perfect as it is for me.SteveSmith wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 6:59 pmI would.PinkPineapple44 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 2:37 pmThe front height of the E89 has always bugged me, the arch gap is just so big!

Where did you see these thicker spring pads?
