i am looking to lower ride height and widen the track, on my 3.0 o4 plate. after "slamming" my previous car (e46) on coil overs it completely ruined the ride.
i am a total novice on suspension setups and wanted to know if i could improve the stance of my z4, without compromising on handling ....i plan on keeping my original 18" elipsoids. ...any one got any advice, would be greatly appreciated :thumbsup:

Assuming you are on the standard set of 18inch staggered fitment 20mm rears & 15mm fronts with Eibach lowering springs will leave your car looking sweet :wink:
depending how low you drop you may want to go 15mm rear/10mm fronts or maybe drop a size in width on the tyres to 245 rear/215 front .
Many on here with very similar set ups so wait for some pics :thumbsup:
 
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Good find Mr.Wilks been looking for some spacers for a while now. Didn't know if 20mmR + 15mmF would be too wide and cause rubbing issues.
 
I've bought cheap bolts with cheap-ish spacers previously (all I need is hubcentric I thought). The bolts were so soft I had three snap on me at various occasions of taking wheels off for a detail...

Never again! So have gone with the links GWatson provided in a recent spacers related thread.

Jeeez you must be torquing those up tight :o
i appreciate there are some cheapo wheelbolts but ive used the hubs & bolts linked on a good few VW/Audis & never had any issues when tightening the wheelbolts hand tight with wrench

Sorry Andy, that wasn't me pissing on your parade! They were horrible cheapo things looking back on it - I didn't use a torque wrench and I was about 18 (skinny as it is nowadays, let alone back then) so didn't take a lot of strength!

Its no flap to me mate & always good to get another view on things :thumbsup:
 
Just received a set of the 20mm ones. Ordered them yesterday afternoon so great service.

I used to have 25mm bolt on spacers which were at least twice the weight on these jjc ones, so a bit of weight saving there.

Look like good quality items.
