Lowering Springs!!! NEED HELP

parkstaff · 06-22-2011, 11:08 AM

Hi there....Been on bimmerpost as I have had a 135i convertible over the last 2 years.... I am new to Zpost as I recently ordered a 2011 AW Z4 35is and awaiting arrival. I need some help. Anybody have any feedback as to what lowering springs I should slap on there? I was either thinking the Eibach or the H&R??? Any pics out there? I like an agressive look so, would prob opt for the spring that drops it more.
Thanks in advance guys

H&Rs

I think Lewis' car, "Slingshot", was originally dropped with Eibach springs before he switched to coilovers. You can find pics on this forum. They did another car, "White Arrow", that was dropped on H&R Springs and pics are there if you search.

Go with the H & R's, I have them and like them a lot. Reduced body roll and got a large improvement in reducing rear wheel hop on several nasty corners I hit everyday. Didn't get as much drop as your pictures indicate, but wanted to keep some clearance so I can run my 17" winter setup, and still get over the speed barriers at the entrance to work. See my garage to you get AB better idea of what they do with 19" 313 wheels and the Active Suspension.

AwesomeChuck!!1 Thanks for the help....I am ordering up the H&R's today! Got the Blacked out Kidneys on order, and upgraded to the 19" 326 double spokes! Should look sick

Love the drop on your car bro! Sits perfect....and that exhaust is bad!
Cheers-
