If that is an early car on its original Sachs shocks then they may well be contributing to the low ride height. I have an '03 SE that used to sit very much like yours CHIMV8 until I recently replaced the original and VERY goosed shocks with a set of Bilstein B4s. It now sits 10-15mm higher. Do I care ? No because it handles and rides SO much better.

TBH
No knowledge of the car other than service history and comments from previous owner,and what i am slowly discovering over the last month sine i bought her

Taking in all your comments i have received on various threads,and going to change/upgrade/renew a lot on the car

Rebuilt over a number of years 2 TVR Chimaera's 4.0L and 5.OL and cant leave the itch alone

Never thought i would take to a Z4 but i have to say i love it

Have you a link to the shocks that you mention

Fronts :

Rears :

They only have 2 sets of fronts and 1 set of rears left so be quick if you're getting some. They went so fast back in March when I got mine.

Did the replacements change your heights

It did. My 326’s fit perfectly now and don’t rub the wheel arch on any bump while the wheels were turned.
Oh, and it drives better.

You will gain around 10mm in ride height after fitting new shocks. I certainly did after fitting a set of Bilstein B4's. MY Original shocks were completely dead.

Just fitted set of tyres and managed to spot this stamp

Are these after market and replaced the first set or original factory
