What springs do you pair with your Konis?
I have paired mine with Eibach springs as I didn't want it very low but others have paired with H&R etc
Must say hardly notice much ride height difference with the Eibachs (some but not much). Have found Koni’s are dampened at an even harder setting than Bilstein, so whilst give a sportier ride would find on Kent’s appalling roads, heavier damping & using even lower springs would be crazy.

If you watch Bilstein’s testing vids, you’ll see them specifically tested on uneven surfaces where more modest but still updated damping is far more effective for road use.

If you’re ever in Kent OP, are welcome to try the ride
Depends on the Koni's you are using I guess, mine is a lot more comfortable and the dampening feels superior to the bilsteins they replaced, but they do have dampening adjustment on them where as the Bilsteins didn't.

All down to preference I guess.

Also just to note mine is an M3 so its going to be a different drive to a Z4 so maybe its an unfair comparison.
