Which coilovers to buy on a £500 budget?

Tyres, exhausts, suspension, strut braces, air filters, brake pads/rotors and anything else for 'dawn raiders'.

Post by Groves »

I'm after ordering coilovers this week but don't know which to buy and worried about paying out for a chap set. I definitely was coilovers for the low Ness and adjustability so no need for springs. Also some still comfortable for road use.

You say no need for springs, but you do need springs for the rear as the Z3 uses the suspension setup from the E30 where the spring and dampener are separate. The front does use an all in one spring/dampener however, as per the E36.

Afraid I can't provide any suggestions for your price point, there's a lot of (height) adjustable coilovers for under £500 though. I've got a set of BC Racing BR Series fitted which are damp-rate adjustable too which are currently going for £680:
