BMW Suspension Parts for BMW 3 Series E36 (1992-1998)

The ECS BMW Coilover line was designed with daily drivers in mind! The focus was to improve on the performance and look of the suspension, without forgoing any comfort. Like many of the top-tier coilovers, these coilovers feel as smooth and comfortable as a stock setup, while giving you an aggressive look and vastly improved handling, all at a fraction of the price!

The ECS Tuning Performance Coilover System provides a sport-tuned, height, damping, and body adjustable suspension with substantial performance benefits using high-quality materials and coatings to replace your worn suspension, all while giving your vehicle that perfect ride height!

Spring Rates: Front is 6 kg/mm, Rear is 8 kg/mm

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

32 levels of rebound damping adjustment Adjustable damping, monotube shocks/struts paired with optimized progressive rate coil springs gives your vehicle road-sticking grip with reduced body roll for exceptional confidence in your vehicle's handling. With your vehicle's new, lower ride height the center of gravity is now moved lower, further improving handling performance Adjustable front bodies allow you to set the ride height while maintaining correct spring pre-load Adjustable front and rear bodies allow the shock to operate in the correct valving range, regardless of ride height PRODUCT DESIGN

Strut and shock bodies finished with a durable gloss black powder coat for good looks and great longevity Threaded portions are are clear zinc coated for optimum corrosion protection against rain and salt Coil springs are powder-coated Reflex Silver Metallic finish for durability Red anodized, billet aluminum lower spring seats with locking collars allow for quick, on the car, adjustability with the included spanner wrenches Integrated bump stops KIT CONTENTS

Upgrade your BMW's suspension with ECS Tuning Adjustable Sway Bar End Links, designed to provide up to 60mm (2.36") of adjustability. These end links allow you to eliminate sway bar preload or fine-tune it for specific racing needs and corner balancing. When installed, they improve drivetrain clearance and enhance sway bar responsiveness by reducing deflection, ensuring superior handling. Perfect for lowered vehicles using springs, coilovers, or air-ride suspension systems, these adjustable sway bar end links allow you to remove unwanted preload caused by changes in the center-to-center distance between sway bar mounting points. By adjusting the end links to a neutral position, you eliminate sway bar preload, enhancing suspension performance in various driving conditions.

The main body of the ECS Sway Bar End Links is crafted from strong, lightweight 6061-T6 billet aluminum and anodized red for superior corrosion resistance. Featuring left and right-hand threaded center sections and machined hex wrench fittings, these end links allow for quick and easy on-the-car adjustments. Zinc-plated hardware ensures secure and lasting adjustments, while the heavy-duty ball joint ends come with weather-resistant rubber boots and stainless steel wire retainers, providing superior protection against salt, rain, and ozone for extended durability. Each kit also includes zinc-plated Nyloc nuts and hardened steel washers for secure installation and improved contact surface on the sway bar.

These end links are designed, engineered, and rigorously tested by ECS Tuning to ensure the highest quality. Whether you have a lowered or stock suspension, these adjustable sway bar end links are the perfect upgrade, offering a high-quality, heavy-duty replacement that fits your specific needs.

Features:

Range of Adjustment: 215mm (8.46") to 275mm (10.82") 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum Construction: Red anodized for superior corrosion resistance Zinc-Plated Hardware: Provides durability and superior corrosion protection Right and Left-Hand Threaded Center Sections: Quick and simple on-the-car adjustments Heavy-Duty Ball Joints(M10x1.5): Weather-resistant rubber boots and stainless steel wire retainers for long-lasting durability

Black anodized billet sway bar end links to replace your flimsy and corroded factory units. Removable hardware for a lifetime serviceable component!

Your factory end link brackets are a one piece design with an integrated stud made of flimsy metal with no coating to protect from the elements. What happens is the end link hardware rusts right to the integrated stud and when you go to remove/replace the end links or brackets they are one strong turn and a snap away from needing to be replaced.

Not only did ECS come up with a stronger solution with a superior resistance to corrosion but went the extra mile to incorporate hardware that can be replaced time and time again so you will never need to replace the brackets themselves. The end link brackets feature chamfers to fit perfectly in factory location and make for a straight forward install. The brackets featuring a slotted area for the bolt head to sit so you don't have the headache of having to get a wrench in the tight space behind the bracket while installing them.

Urethane mounts keep the differential from twisting under load. As torque is put through the driveline it causes anything to twist and move. The differential is mounted to the subframe and the twisting and deflection can be transferred to the rest of the chassis. With a stiffer mount the differential will not deflect as much. This improves seat-of-the-pants feeling to the driver, giving more feedback for smoother power delivery. In theory, there's also more torque being sent to the drive wheels since it's not being used up shifting the diff weight around.

These are tough 88A durometer urethane bushings with a anodized almunum center sleeve, engineered by ECS. This is a set of E36 diff bushings - 1 for the front and 2 for the rear cover. New high-grade hardware is included (the front bolt has a tendency to snap from all that torque twisting!).

Want a race-spec rear shock mount but with the comfort of a factory bushing? This ECS rear shock mount combines the precision and articulation of a spherical bearing with the isolation of urethane bushings. The stainless monoball bearing is lined with PTFE lubricant and suspended in 80A urethane and housed in a hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum mount. The spherical bearing is a better design than most rear shock mounts because it allows the shock to move and tilt without side-loading the shock shaft (which leads to premature failure of the shock). Most Genuine BMW and aftermarket shock mounts are not designed for shock angles and the stress that track or performance driving will put on the shock shaft. The ECS shock mount is properly designed to handle these loads. The internal bearing is also replaceable - it will be years before you have to replace the entire mount. The ECS mount is fully encapsulated to prevent the common shock mount failure of the stock mount design.

ECS RSM features:

• Maintenance free, PTFE lined, stainless steel monoball spherical bearing for full shaft articulation
• 80A polyurethane isolation bushings for NVH control
• Accommodates 10mm, 12mm, or 14mm damper shafts
• Fully constrained shaft mount makes RSM blow out impossible
• Hard anodized 6061-T6 construction
• Fully rebuildable design

* - the RSM comes with the BMW standard 10mm shock shaft bushings. 12mm is used on some performance shocks and 14mm is used on some true motorsport rear shocks.
