Having just purchased an E36 M3 Convertible, I've noticed that the suspension is completely shagged at the rear. Does anyone know of a decent company who can supply me with a new suspension kit without breaking the bank. I'm not really interested in coilovers but would like a decent shock / spring conbination which would slam the bugger on the ground!! (possible 60 - 80mm drop!). I'm getting fedup of driving around in the air!!!

 

Cheers

Chris

Hmmm, nice car mate! Love M3's and a soft flop aswell...you lucky, lucky bastard

 

Come on mate! Have ye lost all faith since selling the Z to the Isle of Shite drug baron, Glenski von Battenmobilen??? LMAO

 

Do yourself a big favour and get in touch with Ginger Zpice!

 

Jobs a goodun

Hi Chris,

 

A 2000 silver M3 convertable was stolen and crashed near me last week, a friend of mine is buying the SMG gearbox from it, I will try to find out about the suspension if you'd like,

Hey Chris mate

Race ya for a tenner LOL!

Post up some pics in your rides section if you got em, wouldnt mind seeing what some of my hard earned cash got spent on hehe!!

Has the M3 got all that clever suspension trickery like the M5 mate? and is it a blue one..

I know what you mean about mid air driving - getting out of the Zed and into the Flintstone GTI , it seems like going from the seat of my pants to big transit van driving position hehe...

Good to see you still lurkin round here mate.. get another Zed !!

Glen

Glen,

 

I was gonna get a blue one but there weren't any about for good money. I managed to get my hands on a rare Calypso red one with black leather / hood etc....

 

Brian - unfortunately Brian its not the newest shape - far too dear!!!! Its still the E36 shape.

 

Anyway, I managed to wangle a deal with AVO who mixed and matched me a set on convertible shocks all round with convertible rear 30mm springs, with 60mm springs at the front from a Coupe. All for £380. Job done!! I will be scraping the ground again (but not as low as you Glen!!)
