35 mm is about spot on, is it just springs or are you going for coilove

Thanks Dan. just doing the springs for now mate . :)

Hi,

Had a broken spring on mine so decided to replace all and lower at the same time.

Used a set of Apex springs with 35mm lowering.

Worked well, doesn't look much different at the from but has dropped the back nicely.

There's no problems with clearance, we've just come back from France fully loaded with an rear luggage rack and there's no problems with the wheel clearance.

Had a few problems with speed humps tho :)

Thanks Mark very helpfull.

Im going for 30mm all round on origanal shocks so should be fine like you said. :)

Cheers mate.

Can anybody let me know if i lower my Z3 with 30mm springs all round would they be fine even tho i have 18 inch wheels ??.

Will they rub on turning ? will thet be fine when loaded up ie- two's up and boot loaded?

thanks for your help in advance ;) Jono

I ended up with a Hayes manual for series 3 as it has sections on the 97 z3

I found the Aussie cd discs pretty useless for whatever reason.

Good Luck

Thanks for that mate i was thinking the series 3 manual might help out with some issues.

Cheers.John.

Hi John. Try www.bentleypublishers.com . They do a manual ISBN 978-0-8376-1250-8 and may offer a "soft" copy version. Worth a try.

Thanks mate i will give it a look. cheers. John.

Does anyone know where i would be able to get my hands on a Z3 workshop manual?

Cant seem to find any anywhere apart fron downloads of disc that are not compatible with my windows lap top.

Thanks. John. :rolleyes:

Hello was just trying to find out how low can I go with lowering my Z3

It has 18" wheels on and wanted to go down by 35-40 mills.

would this be ok? will the wheels have a good clearance on height and on turning?

Thank you. :rolleyes:

Hello all :>)

Anyone know anywhere :unsure: or anybody :wacko: selling an hardtop and fittings for my z3?

Thanks for reading. Jono. :rolleyes:

Thanks DazH yes defo put on axle mate, thanks for the feed back buddy .

Can anyone tell me if you can use the cheat way of doing the rear springs on a 3series coupe?

This is where you undo the bottom shock bolt and wind down the hub with a jack then reach in take spring out and swap with new one.
