E46 m3 coilovers on ZHP?

[nextelbuddy]

Found a set of used coilovers in good condition for $700, would they fix on the ZHP with out modification? would I still retain the auto leveling headlights? (i assume yes since those are on the control arms right?)

the rears will fit fine.

do the fronts use the stock M3 top mounts? if so, the fronts will not fit - and you can't use stock non-M top mounts with them because of the difference in spring winding and strut shaft length. the M3 front suspension has a completely different geometry (wider control arms, more caster from different top mounts, etc). if they came with camber and caster-adjustable top mounts, you might be able to dial the camber back to sane values.

I have m3 bc coilovers but Peter said, I have camber plates.

So if I get camber plates, I could install the PSS9 coilovers from my M3 onto my ZHP without any other complications?

Anyone??

In theory yes. Not sure if anyone has been brave enough to try themselves though.

You can install the suspension on your car without the camber plates. The M3 strut mount fits, it just adds height to the fronts which you could adjust for on the PSS9. But if you get camber plates then it'll work better plus allow you to adjust it more for alignment. The front springs on the PSS9 isn't as fat as the factory M3 suspension so it I don't think it will hit the wheel at all. It's about the same size as our factory suspension. But that's nothing a spacer can't fix.

I was able to install the factory M3 suspension on a 323ci before. Everything fit, but the front was high as fuck lol didn't need any spacers on his m68s though.
