If you want the car a little lower for better handling without killing the ride, I recommend M-springs. I have them on my Coupe and really happy with those.

I didn't realise that M springs would fit a non M car............is that springs only or do the shocks fit too, are the Coupe & Roadsters the same too ?

Sorry I don’t think u ment to quote me but anyway. How do u find the performance of the assymetric 3’s?Tyreman wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2018 11:11 amLooks real good, not decided on the suspension yet, without a doubt mine will look better lowered but I don't want to ruin the ride and make it undriveableTruth wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2018 8:58 amThese are the same size I have on my CSLs though mine are assymetric 2s. Have put the 3s on my work horse but would be interested in the performance of them on your zed as they seem to have a more curve sidewall on my work car so less contact patch. All the best.Tyreman wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2018 6:42 pm Yeah they're reps but the OEM ones aren't great quality and are about £1700 a set without tyres..........I bought these from CM wheels, they are a sponsor on the M3Cutters forum.
They are staggered 19s but the offsets are different from the M3 anyway so these are the exact fitment for the non M Coupe.

No, you can just swap the springs and keep the original shocks. It should lower the car about 15mm allround. You can lower up to 25mm with Eibachs or H&R with the stock shocks, but any lower would require a different shock set-up. But that would be a bad idea because the ride would become pretty harsh.

Is that Space Grey?
CSL 19's fill the arches lovely but you will want to lower it slightly after. I used the Eibach Pro springs, I wouldn't want it any lower with speed bumps etc.
