Make sure I am right on Sport Package....

So I have a 2004 3.0 with sport package - which means I need to order the M/Sport versions when I order springs and shocks - correct???

No??

Correct. Part of the sport package is the M Sport suspension. Note that this is not the same as the suspension on the Z4M.

If you need to replace your springs and shocks, going with OEM parts is going to cost you more than a decent set of aftermarket coilovers which will also improve handling. Just something to consider.

I actually do not want to go OEM - I was planning to go Eibach since I had them on my 300Z and loved them, but I see they are even drop all the way around and I like that the H&R has more drop in the front. If I am reading right, they might be a little harsher though.

I don't want coil overs, but if I buy aftermarket springs and shocks - would they be the same as a regular 3.0 Z4 then? I kind of was looking at the H&R Blistein combo package from turners, but their fit checker does not have a selection for sport package.

I did a drop on my daughters 2.5
Used ST springs and konis. Gave a 1" drop in the front and 5/8" drop in the back.
