Budget “temporary” Coilovers for 2003 E85 bmw z4 3.0i

[Corigidley]

Anybody fitted these? Come with lifetime warranty so I’m intrigued. Yes I know they’re cheap but the car only gets driven in summer and I need a quick suspension replacement.

Cheers

Not had any experience of those particular coil overs but personally I wouldn’t, cheap is for a reason with these things, they rust, seize up within a year and the springs are usually harsh, rust quickly, snap, etc.

Much much better to drop in some Suplex springs and Bilstein shocks imo.

I can't see the point of coil-overs when all you can adjust is the ride height.

My car came fitted with H & R coil-overs that cost about 4 times as much, but on anything other than a smooth road they are just crashy. I think the problem is that because the ride height can be dropped so much the springs are very short, so to keep it off the bump-stops the springs are inevitably very stiff.

I really ought to do something about it.

I want adjustable suspension depending on the wheels I end up getting and I’m fitting wheels spacers. Also, my current set up has shat itself so needs replacing

Quick google has someone saying they're really good for the money on E90 and E36 platforms. Sounds like a decent-ish cheap option especially if you need to adjustability as you say.

Depending on whether its an M-Sport car or not, you can likely get OEM bits from Autodoc for a similar price - they usually have discounts active most days now.

Need new suspension that works with wheel spacers since the old one is shot
