New-ish owner of a 2006 E86

Hi, just thought I'd register and say hello as I've been reading the forum and found the info on here useful. However I now have a question to ask as I can't find the answer on here.

Do all Z4s have a similar suspension set up? I'm about to address the ride height of my E86 si and am looking into various lowering springs. I know the Eibach set seemed to be favoured on here, but the question I have is not directly related to the make:

Are all E85/86 springs interchangeable? I see some companies offering for 2.0l only, some for 2.2 and 3.0l some just for the Z4M, and some just say Z4 03-09. I understand if an engine is larger/heavier then the car "might" sit slightly lower on the front end. But, for example, would the springs advertised for a 2.0l E85 fit my 3.0l E86?

Cheers,
Chris.

Oh here's a couple pics of my car as she is now (please excuse the quality as they were snapped with my phone):

Also has anyone else got dark red leather seats? The pic isn't too good, but they are a wine colour. All the other reds I see appear to be bright red.

Thanks for the nice comments, and the sarcastic ones about my rims.

I finally got an answer from a spring dealer:
All the spring set ups are the same on Z4s from 03 to 09 in respect to physical size and mounting, however the ones advertised for 2.0l only are due to the stretch return fatigue rate due to the shock going through them under sudden accelleration.

This also seems to fit with the answer I got from the German company FK today too:
I don't beleive our spring FKBM057 will suit your car as your car is greater in kW than what is stated on our TÜV paperwork.

Just thought I'd post this if anyone's interested for future reference.
 
Cheers guys, and if you were being sincere about the wheels perhaps you could point me in the direction of a buyer when I get the cash together for some 18s 8)
