As a relative newcomer to both Z4's and BMW's I am struggaling to work out which parts manufactuers are good quality and which aren't.
I'm looking to refurbish the suspension on my E86 and looking at sites such as Autodoc they seem to umpteen differant versions of the same part most made my companies I have never heard of.
Can anyone recommend manufactueres for bushes/suspension arms etc?

I've always been happy with Meyle suspension components. Suplex springs are meant to be worth a look too.

I've recently purchased the parts to refresh my e86 suspension. I went for bilstein b4's all round purchased from autodoc. I also wanted it a touch lower, so got some eibach springs.

Car already had OE spec Sach dampers fitted last year so I'm hoping only to do the bushes etc.
