ZCP difference in gap between rear + front wheels (shipping blocks)

Totti · 09-15-2011, 06:49 PM

Hi guys,

Another worried camper. I have a considerable gap difference and am wondering if this is normal or whether I potentially still have the blocks on.

First pic is back, which looks a lot lower than front. Sorry about the sideways pics but they probably help gauge distance better anyway.

Sorta hard to tell there, have any pics showing the whole car from further back? The front definitely sits higher on the M3 (even without ZCP) so quite possible that is just normal.

Eibachs ftw...

for about 400 something bucks RD sport springs should take care of that

Your gonna get more suspension gap when you store the car up against the wall.

Rear gap is much smaller than the front. Doesn't look to be too different than mine.

Grail05 · 09-15-2011, 07:22 PM

Looks same as mine

Totti · 09-15-2011, 07:26 PM

Phew... Thanks guys.

Is it possible to look in the wheel well with a flashlight and see the blocks?

I thought I read that they were covered by sleeves and therefore can't be seen easily.

Front fender height should be 26.5". If the shipping blocks are still in, it will be 27.5"

Take off one of the wheels and check to be sure.I would not go off what someone says on a forum and call it a day
