Unhappy H&R Springs... National Back Order

I just got the call from turner motorsports..H&R springs are on national back order for god knows how long. Now Im riding on a 4x4 with my 19' M6 wheels. Other than the KW variant 3's their is no other application for the M roadster and im very ... anyone with a used set? Ill pay 200% of retail for them! Anyone have any other ideas.. I need my car dropped bad!

I'm not sure what the problem is, did the 19's raise your car? If so can't you get lower profile tires for them?

Have you tried ebay? Just a thought, I dont think the ride height is all that bad. I know how it goes when you make up your mind about something though. Good luck, nice wheels!

Have you considered coil overs? seeing as you are willing to pay double list for a used set. it does not seem that money is an issue and you will see improved ride quality as well.

Just my 2c

The only coilovers I found that are out are KW V3's which are $2900. I wont be tracking the car and have no need to adjust the damness, height, and whatever the other adjustable part it. Other than that TCK line isnt coming out with them till may (by then the springs may be in stock) GC doesnt make em yet, and no other vendor has any plans to make them. :mad:

$2900 is retail for KW. You can pick them up for a lot less than that

couple coilover options?

any reason coilover kits for z4 (non m) wouldn't fit your ride?

if they do - bilstein pss9 ($1800) and H&R ($1300) are options.

turner motorsports link



very nice ride!
