New Suspension

[Gwest44]

Looking to replace the front suspension on my 2006 2.5i - rears apparently are still OK.

Anybody got a suitable replacement for sale or recommendation if I go down the new purchase route?

Previously put a set of BC racing coilovers on my Z4MC but to be honest I'm after comfort rather than performance this time round.

I fitted Bilstein B4's and eibach springs on mine. Drives great and sits nicely. I use mine as a daily driver and I would not want anything firmer as it would ruin the car for me.

Unsure how people who run firm suspension still have all their teeth :lol:

Nice wheels & loving the top - I'm already on the eibach springs so I ended up ordering a pair of sachs a little bit more than the B4's but I expect similar regarding performance

Oh OK good stuff, yeah the Sachs I believe are the same spec as B4's, or as close as can be, so should be fine. I only went for Bilsteins as they were cheaper and everyone seemed to recommend them. My OEM shocks were Sachs, so can't be that bad

Red soft top is nice, but it gets a lot of 'red riding hood' comments from the blokes in work :lol:
