Thank you all for the comments.
Can anyone shed some light on my post in the problem section regarding twitchy steering at speed since removing RF's?
Ash has kindly offered some advise and any other suggestions would be most welcome

Coupes always look good but that's looking impressive - nice find 
Re the tram lining - haven't read your post but have you reduced your tyre pressures from RF settings? I used 32 front and 34 rear on my 3.0si roadster on Good Year F1s. Those with coupes will highlight if there is a difference in pressures with the roadster. Oh and if you go for a 4 wheel alignment ask for a recommendation on the forum as to where to go. I wasted £140 at a tyre fitters and got a terrible job done but went to a racing place recommended by a form member local to me, grumpybri and had excellent service, discussion and set up costing £75!

My Z 2003 had really bad tramlining and felt as if the steering was very light, I could feel every movement the wheels were making on the road. I thought it was quite cool...But I think what I was experiencing was a set of f**ked front struts. Since I replaced them with a Bilstein B12 kit (which also includes Eibach springs) the tramlining has pretty much gone and the steering feels tight and responsive. Your cars 3 year younger than mine so that may not be the case..What's your mileage?
Thank you for the input DMC63
89,000 with FSH. Mot'd 2 weeks ago.
It had the Bilseins and Eibachs fitted 9 months ago.
I'm sure the new tyres have diluted most of the tram lining but it's become twitchy rather than tram lining at high speed

Lovely looking example of the best Z4 model (as in E86 
)!
Anyway onto tramlining! My current one tramlines a bit, but less than its predecessor and both got better the faster I drove them.
At 50/60 mph they were both quite twitchy, but at speeds above the NSL both really seemed to load up and go where I wanted them to - but obviously I could only do this on a track or in Germany, NOT the M40. :lol:
