Might be a dumb question, or something that has already been covered; but are we going to need to have an alignment done after having these installed?

Thanks.

Yes.
Any suspension work like this will require an alignment

^ WHS, in addition it's usually a good idea to do another alignment a few weeks later, this way everything will have settled down a bit.

Then do the full alignment & corner balance

And we have a dealer! So now we have a source that can get all parts: rsms, plates, swift springs, etc. so we can get a great package deal.

Still a few steps away but making good progress.

We are going to be getting some amazing discounts since we can package it all up together. Ohlins are still going to be more expensive than R&T because they are a custom kit for us (there's no off-the shelf for Z4, only e46).

Will have prices soon I hope. I'll continue to update this thread with progress. Everyone knows how slow these things are, but you also know I'm pretty relentless haha

I want to make it very clear that you should only put your name on the list if you're serious about spending 3200+ on the coilovers (+optional RSMs and plates if you want them). They will most likely be more than 3200, as that is the cost of an off-the-shelf kit; we have to pay for the shaker rig and custom fitting.

I have added some tentatives, but if you feel you're not up to the group buy please let me know so I can take you off the list. Don't want my list to drop by half once prices come up. So the list is only for seriously interested people.

But the GB should help offset that cost, right? Start warming up those negotiation skills

Trust me we're going to get really good prices. This is why it took me a while to secure a dealer that was willing to go the extra mile for us.

Not discounting your effort, my man. You're doing a top-rate job organizing this.

Indeed. This a wonderful example of organization, negotiation, communication and updates to participants...I could go on. I couldn't ask for more. Keep up the great work!

Got an initial list of prices. So far it's looking REALLY good. I don't want to commit to anything yet as we need to get commitment and confirmation from the manufacturer. But this is looking better than I expected.
