Its only 15mm lower than the standard 3.0i ride height, or 30mm lower than the non sports suspension...visually that 15mm does seem to make quite a difference, i didnt think it would before i fitted them. suppose its not the size, but what you do with it... :rofl:
 
Hey Easty, Top marks. One of the best I've seen.

Anyone out there lowered their Z (15mm below sports suspension/30mm below standard ) with 18" rims?

Any photos???

A11y... looks real good! He's got a thread running with some great pics on there. Try searching on something like +a11y +looks +great - his name is in the thread title.
 
PawnSacrifice,

Thanks for the tip, but I'm not having much luck finding thread. (I know daft newbie)

PM'd A11y so hopefully I'm getting closer.

Cheers.

Took me a while to learn forum searches too! I pasted what I'd put into search and a little after halfway down the page you have this:
http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8261&hilit=a11y+looks+great&start=60

Well, it takes you to the last page. It's odd the little things that you remember from posts that help searching!

good actually, the steering seems better as well, a bit sharper. the springs dont feel any different really from the stock ones . have you found the same ?

When I first put them on I actually thought they seemed to stop the initial crashing if you hit a pothole or similar, but that could have been as much to do with having a full spring rather than half of one, but it certaimly is no worse.

Could'nt help notice the tyre valves really standing out against your polished rims on the photo's, that as sad as these or something similar might just finish your wheels off.
 
That is one fine looking car. Perfect stance on the springs. One of the best silver cars on this forum.

Hi
How much where the combo tyres and wheels? What tyres do you have?
Are they 19's
How much ground clearance do you have now; any isues with speed bumps?

Just to answer your queries:-

Yep they are 19's running on F:235/35/19 & R:265/30/19. As for ground clearance, i have no idea, the car has -30mm springs on now, or a further -15mm drop than it had previously, which was the 3.0I m suspension. As for rubbing issues, nothing to report really, always took it slow over speed bumps anyway before it was lowered, and tried a multi story carpark in Leeds last night with no issues with rubbing. just have to be careful.
