Need a confirmation. 2.8Z3 coilovers on the TI

[budget76]

Searched, didn't find a definite answer. I found one post saying they will work, but the rear sits too low. Then another where Jim said he ran the Z3 setup but swapped in the whole rear subframe as well. One other guy chimed in and said he ran the Z3 setup, but didn't comment much on the spring rates. I know Tony has run the Mz3 stuff, I'm assuming that has to do with just the spring rates.

I found a Z3 coilover set for $300, and I'm thinking of grabbing it if it's a decent brand, just shot the guy a mail. If the spring rates are less than ideal then screw it, I like my H&R Races, but the ability to lift it up for the winter/drop it a little lower for the summer appeals to me. Also, it'd let me lift the rear enough to run a proper tire on my 9.5" Millies

I have 2.8 Z3 koni yellows on my car. ti H&R sport in the front and 400lb tc klines in the rear. Works great, if I can get a deal on some 500 or 550 tc klines I'd probably swap to them, the rear feels awesome with higher spring rates.

Z3 suspension is the most similar to the ti out of any other BMW model. Yes the 2.8L coilover setup will definitely fit. As you know coilovers are adjustable so sitting too low shouldn't be much of an issue since you can adjust the ride height to whatever you would like...

Thanks guys, that's what I thought, just wanted to make sure. We'll see if the guy answers with a brand or not, can't go see them till the end of the week and pics don't show much

just send the guy a second email, doesn't seem like he wants to sell since he hasn't responded the brand yet
