Looks great. Love the wheels and drop.
Do you have a picture of the before and after comparing the OEM vs H and R lowering springs?
I just ordered my new VMR710 wheel in Hyper Silver in 18x8.5 Front at 35 offset and 18x9.5 R at a 33 offset to be able to remount my OEM tires.
A drop is next on my Mod list but want a trouble free drop (Non rubbing).
Looking for the best advise in to go with H and R or Eibach springs.

I highly recommend the H&R set up. It rides very close to stock in terms of comfort, and noticeable performance gain.

I'm running 19x10 with 275/30 rears with no rubbing. You'll be fine with your set up, even with a drop.

Did you install the springs or have a shop install them. Do the aftermarket springs effect the warranty. I have 2 plus years left on my Extented Portection plan and do not want to void it.

I had the springs installed by a professional shop. Lol I'm leasing my car but plan to buy after. I heard it was a real p.i.t.a too.

IMO the warranty on suspension stuff isn't a big deal. When parts break or wear out I see it as an opportunity for many after market options and upgrades.

Yours Z4 is so nice. Before I purchased my 2013 M3, I was in the market for a Z4. Your OP mentioned summer wheels. Did you drive this beauty during the winter months? Mind just came out of storage.

Thank you sir! My car is outside year round, but I only take it out when there's no snow on the roads. My winter wheels are stock so they have no traction when it's cold out. Not sure how much I'd drive even with a set of good snows. The roads and trucks in NYC are brutal. If it's not the potholes then it's the trucks kicking up rocks.

Must be excited to finally take the M3 out huh? Even I don't store my car I don't get much opportunity to drive, but when I do its always a treat!

Not sure, but you can find it on the H&R website. I picked up my set from bavauto. You can call them and order. I don't think it's listed on bav's site but they can set you up over the phone.
