H&R Springs or something else?

J-Thurm · 03-22-2012, 12:47 AM

I want to lower my car as much as I can without the tires rubbing or too much camber going on. I keep hearing H&R are the best and have looked at a few threads on here, but they don't look like they lower the car too much. What is the most you can lower a 2007 3.0si Z4 Coupe without destroying anything? Thanks in advance!

Anyone have the H&R setup on their Z4 Coupe? Just want to know what I'm getting myself into.

Maybe the H&R cup kit. The pictures you're probably looking into that arn't "too low" are likely the Sport Springs, so 1.5" lower or so.

What is the H&R cup kit? Can you provide a link on where I can buy this? I just want to make sure I am buying the correct kit. Thank-you.

I was just throwing that out there as an example. Check out the suspension section for what people are talking about for the Moupes in regards to Coilovers, which is what I think you'd be looking at to get the ride height it seems you desire.

Turner should be a good website to start with too: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-15...nsion-kit.aspx

I love my H&R springs on my z4mc! Next time I am by texz4 I will take some shots of his stock and mine lowered 1.5"f and 1"r. I love the way it changes the stance and overall look of the front of the car! It rides smoother and corners tons better and it helped with launches...

I run the sport springs, they will lower the car an honest 1.25", whether they rub or not will depend on your wheel/tire size and how aggressive you get with your offset. I am running a staggered 18x8.5 F and 18x9 rear with 235s up front and 255's out back which is not very aggressive. I am running +37 up front and +35 in the rear and I actually have more room in the rear so i just ordered a set of 10mm spacers for the rear.
