Sports suspension

Looks like I posted in the wrong thread.

Need to replace a rear broken spring on my e85 3.0 Z4. The car has the M-sport setup. Spoke to a chap at surplex who put me on contact with a few resellers, all are a 5 day wait.

Has anyone tried any other makes. I don't want any change in height etc...…

Many thanks

Going to attempt the job myself....Will get the misses to pull the spring out. My hands are far to delicate.

Rear springs are very simple to replace

it's getting the new ones seated correctly on the spring pads that's the hardest part. Chuck some grease on the pads where they go inside the spring coils as it makes the job a million times easier

I did see a video.....the chap took both pads off the car and re-attached before putting back on the car.
