they may fit .. but, that doesn't look like a good suspension kit to me though

NO......... Anything that does not specifically say 318ti will not fit. No matter what engine you put in there the rear will always be 318ti. The front can be changed, but never the rear.

oh and they are a good setup i've used it before on diff cars and they do the same job of susp trwice their price!

i wish TCK was a little less expensive :biggrin:

You get what you pay for. These are only front heigh adjustable with no damping or rebound adjustment. No rear adjustments at all. It also does not say what kind of shocks these are. I'd just get regular koni or bilstein non-height adjustable suspension or an OEM sport suspension before I bought a cheap coil-over kit like this. Being able to make minor height adjustments and not being able to make any stiffness/rebound adjustments seems kind of useless to me.

You can get the TCK kits without the rear height adjuster and save 250$ or so. They are still twice this kit. Groundcontrol kits look to be very good also and are a few hundred bucks cheaper.

i shall direct those who would like the Bilstein BTS kit to the other thread i started - there's a link

ground-control systems are good, as i hear, also

I think the Z3/M roadsters/coupes share the same suspension as the E36/5 (318ti), the rest of the E36 line has a different rear suspension.

Here is a link to Ground Control kits: http://www.ground-control-store.com/products/category.php/CA=101

Being able to adjust the coil heights is how you corner weight the car...
If your shocks are valved right why adjust them?

I can see being able to adjust ride height and get my corner weights dialed would be quite useful without spending as much cash.... Especially if I'm really looking for a mild improvement...

How many people weigh, much less corner balance their street cars? A good coilover with a high quality, properly valved and calibrated koni or bilstein is a bit different than this ebay kit. I'd spend the extra money and get a PSS kit first if you really have to have coilovers.

well yeah I am going to get some bavauto coils which are on sale and some bilsteins for now I guess
