When I got home I noticed a few bits of dust on the car so decided to wash it again. Looked so good parked there I decided to take some pics of it. Typical Z day

New brembo discs and pads on the rear to match the ones on the front that were replaced in May
Now the car stops when I ask it to.

Not had much opportunity to drive the Z4 recently, life just seems to keep getting in the way. It's spent a lot of time languishing on the drive just looking shabby which has been really getting to me. So finally had chance today to lavish it with some well overdue TLC. After a bath and a quick going over with my Farecla Clay Mitt it received 1 coat of Poorboys Blackhole and 2 coats of Soft99 Fusso Coat Dark. I've also been using the Fusso on my gloss black alloys as an experiment for a while and have to say I won't be going back to any wheel seal products I've used previously as it's so good :thumbsup:

Looks fantastic! The stance is perfect. What springs have you got with your B4s?

Cheers

Thanks Saj :D I had it on M-Sport springs but really didn't enjoy the ride so took the opportunity whilst fitting the B4s last year to put the old SE springs back on. The 2 front springs are original but both rears were replaced several years ago before I owned it. I think the MV3s help the stance too as they are staggered 8J and 8.5J but with front et 34 and rear et 37 so the wheels sit further out in the arch. No spacers either :thumbsup:

Ah ok, I thought you must be on lowered aftermarket springs such as Eibachs. It looks spot on :thumbsup:
