oh and btw for comparisons sake, these springs put the front lip (apperance package) a little more than 2 inches lower than a z4 on sports suspension (factory)

tire wet ftw?

onyx8 11-28-2008 10:36 PM

looks like you may need to preload the front, looks too high to me.

Alucard 11-28-2008 10:38 PM

looks good, its a nice mild drop... its gonna settle too so remember its still gonna go a little bit lower....


btw.. I thought you were coming to the Fuddruckers meet, did you install these instead?

well this is within hours of install, so the springs DEF have not set in yet, when then do its time to open the wallet again for the allignment

spending money FTL!

looks good! your front is a bit lower than mine... I definitely need to preload (just installed s-techs too)

how come it still looks a little high or is it the angle of the pic?

well considering that the space between the tire and the edge of the wheel well is about 1.5 fingers, i think its the angle of the picture

plus it hasnt really set in all that much, so im assuming a little lower no?
