Hi All,

I have a 2004 3.0L Z4 Convertible and was looking at fitting B8 dampers all round. I have had these on another car (Volvo) no laughing please!
My car has the M suspension and has 18 inch standard rims. I need to know which springs are the right ones. Previously I fitted Eibach but I don't want the wheels disappearing right under the arches and the car looking like its been pimped!

Will the standard M springs be the right size and will the Bilstein B8's go with the car? Anyone else got Bilstein B8/Eibach combination and any pics if possible?

Just want to improve the handling a bit.

Regards

Chris
 
The standard M-sport springs should be fine with the B8's. They are the only ones that Bilstein recommend on their website for M-sport suspension cars. Incidentally, you may be interested that if you Log on to Ebay Germany (http://www.ebay.de) you can get a full set delivered to the UK for £507.00 see link.
