Hi and welcome from Surrey, I find that 20mm spacers fill the rear out nicely. The rear end probably just needs new shocks if they have never been changed. :welcome:
Hi and thanks for the welcome, thank you for the advice I’ve been told from the guy I bought her off that he’s changed the shocks and springs on the rear but they’re monroe, the fronts have been replaced to but with a German brand, I’ll get her on the ramps soon to see exactly what’s been changed.

Welcome from Leicestershire, I've got 17" wheels and recently put spacers on, 15mm at the back 5mm at the front looks good without going overboard, after all these are classy cars not a pimped up hatchback ;)

I’m gonna make sure they’re staggered thanks, I thought being a double vanos engine it couldn’t be done, does the 3.0 inlet manifold change require a different throttle body and remap too Tony ?
You get a throttle body adapter of Ebay but you need a bigger DISA, no remap required as the ECU adjusts over a period of time.

hi all good evening,
I’ve just purchased my z already impressed with it stock, already feeling places it could do with tweaking though, what recommendations do you all have for spacing the wheels they are stock 16”s on the car just need to fill those arches, what mm front and rears ? What modifications to limprove throttle response I believe the engine is the twin vanos 2.8, also feels like the suspension needs a little firming on the rear. Thank you

Can't re map the 2.8 apparently, had a chip implanted to my 2.8. No difference in top speed, but noticeable difference in. 0-60. Still would like better throttle response tho.. any tips??
