    Anyone used ST XA coilovers e86 3.0si?

    I believe that the kits come with those parts included, and the STA also with (adjustable) top mounts.

    Anyone used ST XA coilovers e86 3.0si?

    Yes, you are correct. Added those later and forgot (and as I already bought them no more real impact on the money yet to spend... :rolleyes:). Sharp eye! Updated sheet added.

    Anyone used ST XA coilovers e86 3.0si?

    Haha, thanks! Yeas, you could leave them off for the ST options indeed. I left them on, as I’m thinking on using the Eibachs on the rear as some users have reported the ST rear springs being a bit too stiff for road use. Also note the Eibach price it not the price you get them new for, but...

    Anyone used ST XA coilovers e86 3.0si?

    Updated my comparison Excel Added droplinks to the ST options as according to the website it looks they are not included. Added ST X and ST XA into the overview, and hopefully added/removed the correct generic parts needed to fit them. Of course, you can get the generic hardware for better...

    Thicker spring pads/shims to raise the front a touch?

    So, I’m still investigating the way to go. I’m either going for Eibach/B4 with thicker spring pads as the ‘cheapest’ decent option. Or ST XTA coilovers as a more ‘high-end’ oprion - these are adjustable in height and hardness, so hopefully able to get a controlled but somewhat comfortable...

    Smart top module e85

    Well it might be luxury, but it was very convenient rolling to a traffic light after exiting the motorway today, to already drop the roof with a quick touch of a button, and let it continue retracting while slowly accelerating again as the light turned green. It makes the top so much more...

    E85/6 Z4M CarPlay/Android Auto with original hardware

    Well after some issues with the Bluemusic dongle, Baris at Carphonics sent me a replacement unit. And during my 2 x 1 hour commute it worked perfectly today. So probably just a flaky unit. Also my combination reverse camera / number plate light is making it’s way from China, so that is the next...

    Smart top module e85

    The benefits are debatable indeed. My car also already had the option coded in to open/close the roof by pressing and holding the key button. The advantages of the module are: One touch open/close of the roof using the button on the dash, no need to hold it. Shorter press of the key to...

    Smart top module e85

    Installed it today, a bit harder than expected. The wires are short, room is limited, so a lot of fiddling and wriggling around to connect it all . But it works, and is very convenient!

    Smart top module e85

    Yeah, I got stung with another 70 eur import/tax duties. Makes the total come close to 285 eur. Not bad seeing the normal price, and functionality compared to competing products. But be aware when seeing the sale price what is added on top. Unfortunately just missed the opportunity to send it...

    Anyone used ST XA coilovers e86 3.0si?

    Yes, I read that too on various sites which led me to look into this a bit further. And going by the information I could find sofar, OEM wheels should clear...

    Anyone used ST XA coilovers e86 3.0si?

    @Meds yes, on some FB Z4 groups. It seems that with OEM wheels it should be fine. People running Style 135 and 107 have reported that it clears. These are size 8J ET47 on the front. I’m running the following, so should be ok. The 224 with the lower ET should even clear more as they are pushed...

    Smart top module e85

    Wasn’t planning to buy this, but couldn’t refuse... Be aware that shipping is a bit steep (45 EUR to Netherlands).
