Features

- Adjustable Height: The height is adjustable for 1-4 inches(Notice: The coilovers kit will "Lower your car" and does not keep to the original ride height.), allowing you to have a more aggressive stance, allowing you to have a more aggressive stance. This design helps eliminate turning noise and also improves steering feel and response. In addition, we have adopted a deep groove ball-bearing structure to help eliminate cornering noise and also improve steering feel and response.
-
Twin-tube Structure: Compared to mono-tube construction, the twin-tube has a longer stroke and higher height adjustability, and they will give you a more comfortable riding experience by reducing the pressure on the joints and also minimizing friction, and ensuring sufficient travel with less effort.
- Functionality: Enhance steering performance and prevent cornering understeer and oversteer. Reduce cornering roll and improve braking performance, leading to shorter braking distances and increased driving safety. The coilover struts are easy to install with the proper tools.
Stock Suspension vs BMW E46 Coilovers
Upgrading from stock suspension to E46 Coilovers can dramatically improve your BMW 3-Series driving experience. While stock suspension is designed for comfort and general usability, coilovers offer enhanced control, stability, and a more aggressive stance.
- Improved Handling: Coilovers reduce body roll, enhance cornering performance, and make your BMW E46 feel more responsive in turns.
- Adjustable Ride Height: Unlike stock suspension, coilovers allow you to lower or raise your car, giving you a customized look and optimized driving dynamics.
- Better Braking Performance: The added stability helps shorten braking distances, increasing overall driving safety.
- Enhanced Driving Experience: Whether daily commuting or spirited driving, coilovers provide a balance of comfort and performance that stock setups cannot match.
Upgrading to E46 Coilovers is not just about appearance—it’s a functional improvement that transforms your car’s behavior on the road.
