Could you elaborate a bit on B&G's reputation, e.g. compared to H&R and Eibach? I'm considering buying a spring and shock combo they produce for my wife's 2nd gen Acura TL, but I don't know anyone who's used them.

Sorry for the threadjack.

Call TCkline, the coil over kits produced for the ti are the same as the z3 cars. You can also ask them to recommend a # for the rear and front springs.

I think they're softer, I remember another member installed a ti coilover kit on his Z3 and the rear sit a little higher than usual

They are heavier in the rear and take on more stress from take off than the ti, they have a higher spring rate.

I have stock M Roadster on all four corners and it lowered me about an inch. The rears are softer than I would like them to be.
