I'm in the process of fitting the B12 kit to my 2003 Z4 2.5i. It's not a sport. It has standard suspension. The eibach springs have lowered it by 20-30mm. Should I change the front droplinks for shorter ones or will the original ones be ok?
 
I used OEM fronts (Meyle) and OE rears with no issues, but did have sport, so match to those part numbers if there is a difference between them and SE.
 
Cool :) Just checked the OEM catalogue and the drop links are the same on the sport and standard. Thanks for the pointer. :thumbsup:
 
Happy days, Meyle all round should be less than £40. Don't forget to get new bolts for the lower rear shock and threadlock them. Might as well replace top mounts, especially the rears while you're there.
 
I've replaced the whole shocks front and back, top guides, spring plates, rubbers, bump stops etc. Just finished. Going for a drive now :driving:
 
Hehe, Yep! Went out last night in it. What a difference. Very solid and a real 'bone shaker' now :D
I'm going to take it out for a spin after work every night to settle the springs in. I've booked a Hunter alignment
with 'Wheels in Motion' this Saturday. They're going to check the tension on the droplinks too so I'll keep you posted. :thumbsup:
