Needing advise on getting lower rear end

[Hauptfred]

:headbang: I’ve brought some stance+ coil overs and they’ve seemed to of made little to no difference on the back end of my e85 Z4, any tips on how I can get it lower without changing my coil overs? Thanks in advance

Take the wheels off. Might spoil the look though. :wink:

 

[road warrior]

couple of slabs should do it

What is your opinion of the stance+ coilovers? Was looking at them for my e86. I take it they are not adjustable?

 

[Hauptfred]

Haha oke:
Stance+ coilovers for the price they aren’t too bad! I’ve maxed out the rear but it still looks dead high :thumbsdown:

 

[Hauptfred]

Can’t really tell from the photo but I want about 10-20mm lower on the rear

 

[road warrior]

in my not very humble opinion, you would be fecking bonkers to lower it any further

That doesn't look correct on the rear. My eibach spring lowered Z4 sits lower than that at the back end.

When you say stance shocks I guess you mean you can make the length of the shock body shorter or longer? Maybe the shock body is too long?

You could also try it with no spring adjuster to get rid of the final 20mm

I’m running my (e46) coil overs on the rear with no adjuster - just the spring and it sits just like a normal lowering spring



Plenty of clearance underneath, even since fitting the ultraracing underbody brace - I’ve only caught it twice on one very extreme speed bump

OP Maybe yours is running the wrong size rubber spring pads at the rear?

I reckon a previous owner chucked on some 15mm spring pads, rather than the 5mm pads the Z4 comes with.

I’ll try and get a photo for you guys tomorrow and see then see what you think, feel sure the spring pads are 5mm

I've got the stance ones fitted at the moment with no adjuster on rear and 19" wheels. Going for bc coilovers later in the year as I find the ride on these ones a bit harsh.

 

[Hauptfred]

Do the springs sit right without the adjuster in?

 

[paulc_bkk]

Mine sit perfectly fine with no adjuster

 

[Hauptfred]

Would e46 rear lowering springs fit? :?

Springs sit just fine.
