Please ensure your correct model is selected

Coilovers provide more adjustability than a strut and spring setup and can serve a variety of different needs - it's important to be sure of what your suspension goals are. We have broken down our coilover catalog into street and track categories, this is not to say you can't use one of our aEURoestreetaEUR coilovers on the track, or vice versa, but it is to give you a starting point. Are you someone who is interested in getting your BMW lower than factory height for the aesthetic value and handling benefits in a daily driver? Check out our street category. The majority of these are priced to avoid breaking the bank, but providing a good value in terms of features and benefits. On the other hand, if you are putting together your vehicle with the track as its main purpose, take a look at our track coilovers category. We have hand selected these coilover brands as being more expensive coilovers built to hold up to abuse.

Looking for coilovers that will provide reliability on street driven vehicles but are also capable of feeding your weekend track demon's desire for performance? BC Racing's BR Series coilover kit may be just the thing for you.

BR Series coilovers are the most popular and versatile option offered by BC racing, offering features such as 30-level dampening adjustment (simultaneous compression and rebound control), linear springs where possible, and a minimum of 2 inches ride height drop. To ensure performance, comfort, and quality, all BR Series kits are Dyno tested during the design stage to determine the best valving and spring rates, then installed and tested for a minimum of 6 months. This kit features mounts and brackets that are fully compatible with all stock mounting points and components.

The upper shock/strut mounts are all constructed of 6061-T6 Aluminum for strength and weight savings. BC Racing design 1 of 3 types of upper mounts for each vehicle: Caster/Camber Plates (+/- 3* camber), Camber Plates (+/- 3* camber), and Rubber Mount Plates (NVH reduction). The included mount option for this kit is shown in the kit specs and features below.

Lower shock mounts are powder coated for corrosion protection and constructed of either 6061-T6 aluminum that has been milled from a single piece (fork or bolt eye mount) or of STKM13C steel with all brackets welded robotically.

The included springs come in one of 3 styles: linear, S-barrel, and V-barrel. Linear springs are used in most applications unless limited by the OE design that does not allow the use of linear springs. All spring options are made from SAE9254 steel and have a zinc coating applied under the powder coating for increased spring corrosion protection and long term reliability.

All shock bodies used in the BR Series coilovers use a 53mm shock body (unless noted otherwise) for added strength, performance, and increased fluid capacity. All shocks are then powder coated black chrome for clean styling and corrosion protection.

Specs and Features:

  • 8k Front & 6k Rear Spring Rate
  • S-Barrel front & Linear rear springs
  • Valved specifically to spring style and rate
  • Camber Plate Front Mounts
  • Aluminum and Rubber Rear Mounts
  • Black Powder Coated Components
  • All OE style brackets and mounting for perfect fit
  • 30 Levels of Simultaneous Compression and Rebound Dampening
  • 2 inch minimum and 3+ Inches of total potential drop
  • Great for Track, Street, and any other conditions

Bilstein's PSS coil over system for the E39 540/M5 combines the best features of the adjustable PSS9 but with fixed dampening rates and a lower price. The PSS kit features height-adjustable springs paired with performance-tuned monotube shock absorbers. It's better than the standard sport shock/spring package thanks to its adjustable ride height and matched shock and spring rates. With a lower ride height and stiffer springs you get less bodyroll and better handling. These are the most user-friendly coil over kits on the market - no special mounts required (works with stock 540/M5 mounts) and coil over spanner wrenches included for easy height changes. Bilstein backs up their technology with a limited lifetime warranty. TUV approved for fitment, safety, and quality!

PSS fixed monotube shocks are matched to the progressive-rate springs and tuned for performance. The PSS does not have the adjustable shock settings like the PSS9. Instead the damping is set at a performance level. Bilstein features a monotube shock design in this kit - one large shock piston instead of two smaller pistons. The larger piston is better at dissipating heat and controlling small shock movements. The rest of the shock is identical to the more expensive PSS9 - zinc coated shock bodies, aluminum spring seats and lock collars, fine rounded threads for precise height adjustments, and tuned progressive-rate springs.

The PSS is height adjustable! Ride height adjustments are done from perches on the bottom of each spring. You can set the ride height between 1.0 to 2.0 inches lower than stock ride height. On the E39 we recommend a front to rear rake of .75" (higher rear). Bilstein uses progressive-rate springs to keep the ride smooth yet sporty. Overall, the PSS springs are stiffer than other coil over kits and the results of Bilstein's extensive testing on the German Nurgburgring and Autobahn. Rear shocks are also coil over, just like the factory shocks. The struts are zinc coated for excellent wear and corrosion resistance.

The fitment of these is just like a standard shock and spring package. The front struts and rear shocks are compatible with the stock mounts. On the front, Bilstein has an ingenious upper spring perch that allows you to retain the stock spring radial bearing. We recommend getting new front upper bearings. Using the stock mounts keeps the cost and complexity down and allows for TUV certification. You can also be assured of the stock mount's quiet and long-lasting performance. The assembly of the front strut is the same as the factory strut, except you use the Bilstein upper spring perch in place of the stock perch. A OEM mount kit or adjustable camber plates are also available. Install instructions and diagrams included.

If you're looking for a supremely capable and high quality suspension, then look no further than the Bilstein PSS. It combines all of the best German engineering with real-world development, and a lifetime warranty.

BC Racing has made a name for themselves in the automotive enthusiast communities by developing adjustable, street-and-track capable coilover kits for over a decade that are not only extremely effective, but also don't brake the bank! The BC Racing RM Series Coilover System uses a mono-tube inverted damper in the front and rear of vehicles that use McPherson style OEM strut suspension. On vehicles that use front struts only, BC Racing provides an inverted front strut and then provides an upright BR Series damper for the rear. Inverted dampers are useful in decreasing unsprung weight by moving the greatest mass of the strut to the top where it connects to the sprung weight of the chassis, where weight can be more easily shaved. The RM series feature high quality damping adjustable monotube inverted dampers at the front or front and rear, depending on vehicle. The RM coilovers offer the majority of the features of the BR series but with the additional benefit of the inverted damper unit. Inverting the damper unit brings with it a number of advantages. The large 42mm damper rod and inverted design gives the inverted damper units much greater strength and resistance to side loadings. By reducing flex the RM inverted units lead to more consistent steering geometry resulting in more predictable and responsive handling. Know your protected from the elements! The damper units are black chromed steel to give superb durability even through the darkest of European winters. The aluminum components (top mounts, locking collars etc.) are anodized and the steel lower mounts go through an electrophoretic disposition process followed by powder coating. A random selection of steel components (brackets, dampers, screws etc.) are put through a salt spray test once a month to check the quality of the protective processes and that anti corrosive properties are kept at the highest possible standard. Features: Highly Customizable Inverted Mono-Tube Damper Linear Piston And Damping Curve Height Adjustment Independent Of Spring Compression 30-Clicks Of Simultaneous Compression/Rebound Adjustment Front Camber Plates Standard On Applicable Kits Rear Camber Plates Available For Applicable Kits Custom Spring Rates And Swift Spring Compatible Custom Valving Or Valving Paired For Custom Spring Rates 1-Year Warranty Against Manufacturers Defect Fully Rebuildable

The rear damping adjuster on coilovers is usually hidden under a bunch of hard to reach interior panels requiring you to remove carpet, panels and sometimes even the rear seat back in order to adjust the dampening on your BC rear coilovers. The BC Racing rear extender adjuster allow you to make these adjustments without removing the rear interior. Simple make two small holes in the interior above the adjuster and the extension can be passed through the interior panels. Now the adjustments can be performed from above.
