The fronts are X8 and rears are X6. Looked all over for an actual part# but no luck. My E90 M3 has DCT, sunroof, ZCP, and Nav.

Thanks!! I'll update the list.

Can someone point me in the right direction to help with some coding? I’ve installed the Bilstein EDC B6 shocks on my 08 and looking for someone to help me code my non-zcp edc to a zcp edc suspension tune. I am in NorCal in the Bay Area or is this something I can possibly do myself?
Thank you

Thank you

Alex at AlpineMSS did mine.

Bump cause someone just asked me about this today.

Did you fit those back on or sell them?

No, I just keep them in storage for future use.

Does anyone have ETK that can look up part#s for the below combination? I'm on a mac, don't think I can use that program. Thanks!

Carbon roof
Premium Pkg
Technology Pkg
Ipod USB Adapter
Heated front seats

This is a ZCP suspension info thread. You can check out realoem.com for part numbers.

"No parts found matching your car."

That's why I posted here. It doesn't provide spring info for my VIN or production month. Wasn't worth starting a new thread when ETK is the answer and there are evidently many people in this thread with ETK access.

Thanks to SYT_Shadow we have the measurements but since I was doing the full ZCP swap yesterday, let's add some pictures to the thread for visual reference.

Can confirm, the springs AND shocks on the ZCP suspension are shorter than standard, perches are about the same height on both. The installation went smooth as expected and I had Alex from AlpineMSS do all the coding. She's feeling great!

chutak · 01-26-2022, 12:37 PM

Excellent info, Dan! Glad you could verify what people have speculated for the past 11 years.

I'd like to add to your findings with my comparison of ZCP to Bilstein EDC. The Bilstein shaft is taller but front spring perches appear to be the same level.

derbo · 01-26-2022, 03:22 PM

Thanks DanMpower for the pictures!

Like SYT_Shadow mentioned, the stroke of the dampers is shorter and the sole contributor of the height change is the spring itself.

Thank you

you can code it yourself, this is the thread I used for mine: https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1248023

Thanks to patroklai for catching the error in the coding.

MK60 coding is NOT required for EDC ZCP coding.

Got me the rear ZCP EDC shocks today new from a fellow member and ordered the front struts last night. Will be 4 weeks because they have to import from Germany.

I currently run H&R sport (and love them), but have considered sport plus (slang: Race version).

Can anyone speak to the differences between running ZCP EDC dampeners on H&R sport springs? I've heard lots of good feedback on the race springs.

How is the retrofit?
