Blisten B16 install
Hello,
I’m planning on ordering the PSS10 for my Z4MC. Are there other parts I should replace/install at the same time? Adjustable camber plates, control arms, etc? Thanks in advance! |

Given the age of the car I would consider the following items
BMW front strut tower reinforcement plates (PN 51717036781) BMW rear coil spring shims (PN 33531094518) Sway Bar End Links (MEY-3160604607HD) Rogue Rear Shock Mounts & reinforcement plate https://www.rogueengineering.com/Rog...air_p_270.html Beyond that it is up to you and the current condition of you car. I also did the control arms, bushings, etc. but mine were TIRED. Good thread to browse https://www.zpost.com/forums/showthr...ighlight=pss10 Last edited by 86Zed; 11-21-2022 at 02:56 PM.. |

Now would be the time to add them since you'll be in there and due for a ride height and alignment/corner balance potentially. Ground Control and H&R have solid options depending on your usage as well. |

Cool...thanks for the info. I also plan to run 18x9 rims up front. I try to get everything in advance so I don't have to reinstall things. Thanks for the guidance!

I got my Vorshlag camber plates. They seem pretty solid. With the round plate on the top, are the reinforcement plates still necessary?

The Vorshlag setup is beefier than others. I still installed the reinforcement plates, cheap insurance while you are in there.

For the rear coilovers, do the perches sit on top or bottom. I have seen them both ways depending on different brands while doing a google image search. For the Bilstein b16s specifically, should they be on top or bottom?
Thanks |

It should sit at the top with the rear coil spring shim (rubber insert) nested in the bottom.
Image from another Z4 forum It may work the other way around but a spanner wrench would be tough to get in there. |
