Hi,

looking for advice from E85 roadster owners running coilovers on a road car.

Have an 04 3.0i with a broken rear spring, while getting that sorted I like the thought of refreshing the suspension. The shocks have approximately 70k worth of use so the two options I'm considering are

a. new OEM shocks + springs
b. Full dampening + height adjustable coilovers by a reputable brand (KW, Bilstein etc)

Without taking cost into consideration is there any downsides to the coilovers over the OEM setup. The Z4 is quite a rattly car so I don't really want a much firmer ride.
I've discounted something like the Koni sport kit due to not wanting to lower the ride height far from the stock height.

Currently I don't have any track plans for the car but I'm always open to the idea of a few trackdays a year.

Thanks all.
 
I'm currently running a set of kw v2's on my coupe.

coupled with 19"s and non-run flats, I've pretty much been left with similar comfort to the oem set up on run flats.

I've no complaints about the set up at all (having previously run with KW on my Smart Brabus)

I guess the only downside would be cost, which you're ruling out anyway.
