If my brakes turn out to be ok, I will be coming to the trackday evening on the 16th, so can show you there if my photos don't help :thumbsup:
 
your car sits well on the new springs and i thought you would notice the better ride and handling.all in all a good job :thumbsup:
 
New caps do still corrode / silver outer ring flakes away but don't look as bad as the old style. I've had the newer style ones on the car since march 09 and the outer silver ring has started to deteriorate on all 4. Not a big issue but still not perfect.
 
I would be doing the 16th track day, but unfortunately my friend just died (21 years old, heart attack) and so I am attending a memorial rolling convoy on Friday in his memory.

The centre caps have started to get a bit manky, but the car isn't under warranty

Cheers guys, about to order with the following prices:

bminiparts -
Z4 M OEM Discs all round - £522 inc del

Motorsportsworld -
EBC Redstuff pads all round - £142.50 inc del
Eibach lowering springs kit (20mm front, 10mm rear) - £160

I have been recommended a local garage by MrGringo on here, who will fit all discs, pads, springs and also do the CDV joint in 5-6 hours, £175-210 fitting. Is that about right?

Then I will be looking at the hunter alignment... :driving:

I have bedded the pads and discs and they seem to be ok, although I do get squeal at low speeds occasionally. I think they state 200 miles for full bedding in, if not I am going to get them looked at again.

The springs are just right, the car sits at the height that it should do from factory imo, feeling more planted and lower. I need to spend a bit more time driving in my daily conditions, but as far as I can tell, they dampen the bigger bumps more and it feels more rigid, less floaty.



Sitting lower after getting VPOWER, then some ferrari placed a shadow over my little Z4 M :cry: :lol:

the zed looks sweet, very nice. the ferrari 612 is hideous by the way, the z4 looks way better.
