    rear spring coils

    Hi, when refurbishing the brake system in the rear I found one of the spring coils broken, bottom ring is broke off (about 3") Does anyone know if Z3 rear coils would fit? Seems difficult to source used coils for the z4...

    rear spring coils

    I believe Z3 and Z4 has completely different rear suspensions geometry.

    Z3 (1)

    Z4 (2)
