You'll find that stiffer springs and dampers at the front of the Z4MC will better prevent the pitching and lifting as well as help to reduce lateral bodyroll.  |
Thanks, last question. I'm currently running 440f/550r... I don't mind increasing the front but the next increment would be 500 and 600 for the front (front and rear springs are different lengths. If I went 600 in the front, how would handling be affected if I keep the rear at 550? Should I also be increasing the rear. I don't mind the squirmy back during braking... it's just the front end lightness on the uphills and certain transitions that I want to address the most.
