    Need pics of Z3s w/ lowering springs

    Considering running 7", 550 front 6" 700 rear.

    However, it seems that many go for 6" front, 5" rear instead.

    I don't want to scrap my exhaust every time I climb on bumps, but it would be great if I could get pictures for either settings.

    Thanks!

    I had 5" on the rear, but got rid of them in favor of the 6" springs. I kept getting coil bind with the 5"ers. The 6" springs do not allow you to get very low though, if that is what you are after.

    I'd also like to know spring diameter for front shocks. Bilstein B8 is identical to the stock spring (can be used).

    There is something definitely not right there. That looks way higher than standard - have you taken measurements to check the ride height? I'd say that has the wrong springs on it.

    I got 7 inch springs (550lbs) installed today on rear, and it looks much better. So I need to know front spring diameter for Z3M S54 specced shock mounts to get the correct springs. I assume I'll go with 6 inch front.

    I don't have lowering springs, but I use 6" 425 lb front springs with adjusters at its lowest setting, and 6" 525 rear springs no adjusters only pads. Look up my perviously started thread for a picture.
