After much research looking for CoilOvers for the suspension seeking good quality and price, I came across Ta technix, a German Manufacturer of 20 years. This product is designed for the Z3 and can also be used on the 3 Series e36 Compact. It boasts the standards are above 'EU' standards, (if that were a good boast?) However, without this particular recommendation, one has come to expect very good quality and precision from German manufacturing. Quality is the key....regardless of the EU stamp....
Note: After 31st December 2020 there maybe tarifs placed on such purchases, so time is short if considering such a purchase. It does also seem there has already been an increase in postage and packing.
Also see section on Camber plates and shock absorber mounts
Note: One recommends reading the diary first and then linking to workshop notes to maintain the continuity of the theme...
