Thanks for that info. I posted a question on the stock vs. sport suspension awhile back and never got an answer. My stock E90 Sport is lowered, but I was under the impression there was no difference on the Z4 Sport other than different wheels, tires that had 47/50 offsets which provided the clearance. Believe me, I've been checking clearances closely since I put these on and haven't found any problem so far. The car drives a little better now, especially in turns and seems smoother even though I still have the stock runflats. Maybe a couple of years of technology have improved the runflats since the 2004s I replaced. My main worry now is if I will have bearing or tire wear problems later. Any suggestions on that matter?
BTW, the 104s I pulled off don't appear to be BBS - made in Mexico by Ronal (I think thats right).
