Z4MR spring options

Post by chris » Sat Sep 20, 2014 7:50 pm

I have been theough quite a lot of old threads, but non have any decent pics. Well that i can find :)

Just got a Z4M, and want it to sit better! So lookking at H&R idealy or Eibach (pro kit).

Quite a few shots of the Eibachs, but any of the H&Rs? And does it effect the ride at all? Had both on M3's through the years, but always found H&R to be the best. But is it the same on the Z4M :D

I have put both on...But had H&R on my M roady and on my M coupe..

I like them,believe it of not they actually improve the ride...Although lower the spring wire rate is more compliant.

Any pics of the H&R? As normally aeibach are pretty moderate. Dont want it slammed by any means, but want it with about 10mm fro the tyre to the arch idealy :driving:

Im still deciding on wheels. Either CSL's (i know they have been done time and time again, but i love them) or the 359's from the E92 M3. So they will be 19's :)

Im a bugger for a bargain....

Larkspeed are by far the cheapest for H&R's....

I also think that all suppliers have a 10-14 day order time..

Ok, if ECP dont carry them (they have a lot of H&R springs in stock amazingly), then will give Larkspeed a call.

Just been offered some genuine CSL's so may tie in nicely :D

People keep commenting about CSL's being done time and time again, but they are probably the only wheel other than 224's come sale time that most buyers will accept. Also 224's are now very common on non ///M's

At the end of the day put the whees you like on it, it's your car, but I'd go for genuine CSL's any day :wink:

Exactly, and they always sell instantly as well. Only thing is they have been referbed in a darker grey. All excellent condition, but not sure if the colour will look wrong next to silver grey :cry:
