I have TCK coilovers on my Z4M and there's about 1.5 finger widths front and back.

If you're gonna lower your Z4, I recommend the Eibach springs. Less aggressive drop than the H&R's, but the ride quality is much better. And DO get Koni struts/shocks at the same time. It's more money up front but believe me it wil save you more money (for the 2nd install) because you will hate the ride quality with lowering springs and OEM struts/shocks almost immediately. The car will feel floaty and will feel like it's jumping back and forth coming to a stop (your head will bubble a lot) if you retain the OEM shocks.
