BMW 15mm Spring pads

daveysew · 07-26-2009, 08:06 PM

Just wondering if anyone has put the BMW 15mm Spring pads on their car. I've got a set of Eibach's on my 2005 Z4 3.0 with OEM M Roadster rims and am getting a tiny bit of rubbing on the rears and was wondering if this is a feasible solution. I found this recommendation from ROM3N and was wondering if anyone has done it and their feedback.

Thanks in advance...

Yes I did them in conjunction with H&R lowering springs. Good results, they improved the aesthetics of the lowered car by evening out the front/rear drop. Don't know if they would reduce rubbing as I my tires don't rub at the moment.

good luck.

Thanks, I ended up doing it on Thursday, it does balance the look of the car out but I've still got an odd rubbing sound. Not entirely sure where it's coming from, but I can't see it as tyre rub after the lift. The saga continues...

On a previous car I had a rub issue. I lined the wheel wells with low-tack blue painter's tape. It showed the marks pretty well after a day's spirited driving.

good luck!

Funny you should mention that RC, it's exactly what I'm doing now.
