E86 coupe SI rear springs

[Ben S]

Hi all,

The springs on my z4 coupe snapped last week while on a road trip through Europe, the cobbled streets killed them.

I am after replacements new or used posted to me in Worcester.

Or alternatively if anyone could offer me a link to reasonably priced ones that would be great. Mine is the SI coupe, not sure if there is a difference between the SE and SI?

Thanks,
Ben

Just to clear up some confusion, SI doesn't indicate a trim level - it just refers to the engine designation. There were two trim levels in the UK, SE and Sport, both of which had the SI engine... The Sport models (assuming that's what you've got) had M-sport springs which lowered the car when compared to the SE cars. A popular change when the originals snap is to fit either Eibach or H&R springs, further lowering the car, but also improving the ride quality. If you want to stay standard height, you can fit Suplex springs. All have been discussed many, many times on here, so a search will keep you reading for quite a while...

I wouldn’t bother with used ones, you might have to change them again.

Thanks both, will do some reading & get them ordered

Whereabouts are you I have some sports with matching fronts if you're anywhere near St Albans or Heathrow.

Only just seen this! Unfortunately just ordered Eibachs front and rear for £140.

Thanks anyway
