before I start I'd thought i'd say how much I am really enjoying reading all the stuff on here .... its a great site with great cars and people!! (and thanks to all of you seasoned users who put up with our newbie questions :wink: )
ok - so does anyone one have any info on the height from the floor to the wheel arches on a stock Z4? (I have an 04 3.0i SE but from my reading I gather this is the same height as any other non M zed) ......or can anyone measure theirs for me please.
Although I have had some fab comments about my car, its stance and its wheels, my plan is to replace them with refurbed 108's and to raise (yes raise!) the ride height a little. The problem i have is that I do not necessarily want to go to full stock height but because my zed is lowered already i have no reference height to know what I want to move it too (Am I making any sense?!
).
if I knew stock height to the wheel arches I could then fit the 108's and know where stock springs would take me and then from there choose springs to drop to where i want to be. Tyres on the 108's will be 225/40 and 255/35 18s
I am sure that I have seen a pic on here somewhere where someone put a tape measure up the front arch ... but I've read SO many threads since joining on here that I now can't remember where i found it
any info on this and of sites/info on suitable springs (H&R and Eibach seem to come up alot) - I'd be really appreciative .....especially if anyone knows of spring ranges ... where you can choose 10, 15 ,20, 25 or 30 mm drop versions (is that possible?) or if I should look at using any other method of achieving my plans....
many thanks everyone
