as above...

seen many spring sets for sale that are for the 6 cylinder 2.5 - 3.0 - 3.2 engines but as the 2.0 is lighter it needs different springs.

so if anybody has something that might interest me please let me know.

currently on m springs (-15mm) so hopefully a set of FK/H&R/Eibach or whatever will come up with a 20-30mm drop
 
I can't find a set for yours but these are the Eibach part numbers you're after, maybe you can get them individually or as axle sets?

Front, roadster and coupe 4 cyl: 11-20-010-03 VA
Rear, roadster: 11-20-010-01 HA
 
Should think so mate. Rear shocks, rear springs should just swap over. The front shocks are different on an ///M (how the Hub attaches), so just swap Front springs over.
 
yea as i already have M Sport springs.... isn't that the same height?

plus wouldn't the weight of a 3.2 //M be loads different to a 4 pot 2.0 therefore the springs will be less compressed when standing normally?

why is it such a mission to find 2.0 springs, stupid BMW :(
 
Going on the fact ///M suspension is different from standard in many ways it's not worth even looking.

I currently have H&R'a 30mm drop what have covered 12,000 miles. Im looking to change to Msport springs but they H&Rs are on the car and its my daily :(
 
tbh im not really sure what engine they are designed for so they could be wrong for a 2.0 as it is, thats the main reason for me changing as im pretty sure whats on my car now is wrong, so rather than buy a replacement correct set of OEM springs and wait for them to break, i thought id upgrade while im at it.

when i finally get around to sorting it ill double check part numbers etc and see what i have
 
Bilstein list the PSS16s for the 2.0 even with the 790kg front weight. So it might be that you can get away with a 6 cyl set?
 
currently speaking to a guy who sells all in 1 kits of shocks/springs for z4s on German eBay, hes told me there are no eibach springs available for the 2.0i engine but H&R do offer a set. hes going to look into it for me and see what kit he can offer me (as i already replaced my rear shocks with B4s earlier this year it will work out cheaper aswell)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Eibach-Bilstein-B4-lowering-kit-30mm-BMW-Z4-E85-Z4-E86-Coupe-/321936707027?

fingers crossed i can finally get some answers as its becoming a mission sorting out replacing/upgrading my set up :headbang:
 
There is an Eibach part number for the front 4 pot, so they made them at some point - just no kits I can see a the moment. You can use standard E85 rears, it's just the fronts you need.

Would probably be easier to buy a 6 cyl :lol:
