Ok, so I’m doing my rears - the adjuster is supposed to go at the bottom according to venom/stanced but the adjuster thing doesn’t fit over the rubberised centering piece

Should I have ordered something else? Did they send me the wrong ones??

That's odd, all suspension options I've seen on E46's and Z4's have the adjuster mounted at the top.

Image attached for reference, even though it's not the same kit.

The venom & stance+ websites both state adjuster should be at the BOTTOM - how ever I can see from Wookster78, his too are at the top.

This is so confusing

“ Rear height adjuster to be mounted below the rear springs.”

Must admit typical bloke I did not read the installation instructions and just looked at some pictures of adjustable rear springs on z4’s when I put them in. Sits fine and rides ok, are you sure you can’t get it in there, remember it was tight but with a bit of general purpose grease went in ok

I’ve done it now, used a hole saw to trim the rubber

Good job, maybe I need to be switching mine round the other way

Have said that been on there two years and been fine

Looks like you have set them in the middle, mine are set fully undone and it’s already pretty low, lower than standard m sport anyway so might be a bit low for you if you are looking for similar to standard ride
