That's the nice thing about having height adjustable shocks, isn't it!

That’s right! Wish the rears were that straight forward too 😁

OP is this the set-up you went with - looking at following you’re lead with an upgrade to mine as it’s now done 99k and was originally thinking about the Bilstein B12’s kit but then saw these? Cheers

Yes, that's right, looks like the BR kit. Mind that I went for stiffer springs than standard, the kit comes with 6kg fronts, 8kg rear springs.

I went with 8kg/10kg. No regrets, some people got the standards and said they were too soft/bouncy. You don't want to have too soft a spring to then have to compensate by over-damping your shocks , it will be split between a bouncy or a very hard ride.
As a reference the E46 kit comes with 8kg/12kg.

I bought my kit from Corby motorsport, you can get them cheaper than on that ebay ad, call them and they may even give you a discount over the phone.

Thanks for the suggestion here looks like Corby can do the BC kit for £725 delivered which represents a saving of over £500 on the best OEM set-up price I got and just over £900 cheaper than the average price of £1,600. Definately looks like I will be following your lead on the BC's.

I'm more than happy to take anyone considering getting one of these coilovers for a drive. I'm based in Romford/Brentwood.

I have raised the front by 5mm this weekend and it's no longer rubbing. :thumbsup:
hello, do you still have the car?
can you tell us how they behave after about 2 years of use?

thank you very much

The top mounts clunk on BC racing coilovers, stick with OEM. I contacted them and its a common issue on the Z4. Need to get mine swapped out.
