Broken Springs - List (add yourself if you've been affected)

Mine broke at around 40k on an 03 3.0 smg with sport suspension. Put the lot in the bin and fitted koni adjustables and eibach springs and all is good.

interestingly found the N/S front upright bent slightly whaich was knocking the camber out. Have fitted a new one and its much better - going for full geometry setup soon, so hope it will be back to factory!

All good fun.......

Found out today that the rear springs were gone, had no idea; no noises, no handling change.
Had the car since 18k can't believe that there would be no difference in ride quality!?
Haven't had it fixed yet because the garage didn't have the parts. Haven't seen it for myself, is there a way to do this easily?

You can add us as well, I think the springs were gone when we bought the car, so around 47,000 miles.

How much are the Koni adjustable with Eibach springs? I don't want to go any lower, being in Devon with some of the roads around here! Failing that, where's the best place to get the springs from, a dealership?

Both rear springs broken

Stealer 'Service Manager' told me he has never heard of the problem being associated with Z4s... think I may show him this thread!

Add me to the list. Went in for Oil service today and both rear springs needed replacing. quoted £334.90 inc vat for the springs. I politely declined as im sure i can get them done elsewhere??

One replaced under Approved Used Warranty on a 2004 3.0 Roadster. I suspect another one has gone though - will investigate this weekend.

Both rear springs were changed today! Drivers side was broken in two places, passenger side in one place!

Suspension definitely feels better at the rear now

Rear drivers side spring broke yesterday and confirmed today at the dealer. Have to wait nearly 4 weeks for replacement. They`ve removed the broken part as it was rattling around at the bottom of the holder.Apparently it is just the bottom of the spring and okay to continue driving

My car also needs a rear propshaft seal which has been on order for over four weeks now due to a bodge up somewhere so both jobs will be done the same time.
