Z4MR spring options
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

Re: Z4MR spring options
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.

Re: Z4MR spring options
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

Re: Z4MR spring options
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

Re: Z4MR spring options
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

Ooh you lucky sod...
Get them bought if they are the right money.. Getting hard to get hold of decent sets (at the right money)

Re: Z4MR spring options
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'schris wrote: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.

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

Re: Z4MR spring options
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 greysrhutch wrote: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.
