Good Afternoon all! I'd like to share my story about my z4 rear ride height.
When I put down deposit on my Z4 it was on the condition it had a fresh MOT. It failed on a fractured rear spring which was replaced by the private seller.
After I bought it it seemed to me like the side which was replaced (n/s) sat higher though it drove and handled fine. I checked the fitment on the spring and to my newbie eyes it seemed to be sitting correctly. I did find that it wasn't a genuine spring. For piece of mind and to ease my paranoia I got both springs changed for genuine springs when I got it serviced and the ride height is now sorted. Dealer did say nothing seemed mechanically wrong before replacing.
Below are pictures of the springs. You can see the coiling of the springs is different at the ends. What's your thought's guys? I'm curious whether it was a spring or something else? Can I flog these springs or should I bin em?!
