Zhp suspension kits

[330zhp90]

Hey guys and girls does anyone know where I can by a refresh suspension kit for the zhp, I know ecs tuning had one awhile back for like 500 bucks but is no longer available. Any suggestions, I really don't wanna buy all the parts separate.

Thanks

I bought mine a year ago from crevier BMW. They had to orde it from Germany and it took 3 weeks. At the time they said there were 9 kits available. But that was a year ago. Call a dealership and find out. The cost was about 500 dollars.

I couldn't find any while doing my refresh a couple months ago so I settled for the H&R Sport Cup Kit

Long time! Good to hear from you. I was there when you bought it so I remember that well. I got the H&R Touring Cup Kit.

Alright I'll check with some dealerships, any online retailers they have kits

It has been John. I installed it but I still have the control arms since my bushings are still good. Just got new potenza tires and now it handles great. I wanted to lower it but maybe when I replace the control arms. I love the way yours look.

What is included in the refresh kit? Is it just the LCA bushings, and all the rear suspension bushings? Or is it more involved than that? Thanks

Part number for the genuine kit from BMW was 33500429577, they have since discontinued it but it appears the individual numbers for it are still available which is weird. I will work see if I can put together a kit for you guys with the same components. I will post it once done.

I think I am going to spring for the front and rear kit level 3 from ECS. It doesnt have shocks and struts but that can come later I would imagine. If I get a lower level front and rear kits, it comes out to around the same price so I would guess just springing for the big one would be my best bet.

I'm just not sure I need all that. idk. It's a lot of money!

Thanks FCP. Options are always great to have. And now that you're a new affiliate...it's even more advantageous for the Family.

Sorry for the delay guys, bit tricky finding all the numbers needed and the correct super sessions with the shocks, I finished the kit and will work up getting an image for it in the next day or so.

Awesome news!

That is a sweet setup. Thanks FCP.

Those of you considering this or just a mere CAB replacement may want to know the offset CABs from the BMW Z4M fit the E46 CAB brackets.

I have a similar setup on my '87 E30 using aluminum ctrl arms and offset bushings from the E30 M3. Turn-in response is noticeably improved. Not that a ZHP is weak in that area but if only for shits n gigs, I plan to go that route next time I do E46 CABs.

Would installing offset CABs affect the alignment of the car at all? Perhaps toe?
I'd like to do this mod if it doesn't affect tire wear much.

FCPeuro....I recommend you start a fresh thread for this. Thanks.

I don't recommend messing with other OEM (Z4M) bushings. I have experience on the E36 M3 with things that are supposed to work "perfectly" like swapping strut hats for more camber, turning strut hats for more camber, and using offset bushings. These mods- which are supposed to be catch-less, always have a catch. Too much toe, more caster, the car looks like it's been in an accident, etc. If you want camber get camber plates.
