BMW Coilovers for BMW 1 Series E82 (2008-2013)

The ECS Coilover Line was designed with the "daily drivers" in mind! Focused on improving the performance and aesthetics of your vehicle without forgetting comfort. With 32 levels of available damping and height adjustments tailored to each car, ECS coilovers are right in that sweet spot of firm and compliant while giving you an aggressive look and vastly improved handling.

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!

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

32 levels of rebound damping adjustment
Integrated camber plates for +/-1.5 degrees of adjustment to dial in your fitment and alignment
Ride height adjustment: 1" - 3.5" drop
Heat treated, progressive rate coil springs.
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 zinc-coated for optimum corrosion protection against rain and salt (finish will vary between clear or black zinc coatings depending on availability)
Coil springs are powder-coated Reflex Silver Metallic finish for durability
Red anodized, billet aluminum spring seats with locking collars allow for quick, on the car, adjustability with the included spanner wrenches
Self-locking, zinc-coated flanged nuts used for shock & strut shaft pins
Zinc coated strut mount securing nuts included
Rear shock adjuster housings are black E-coated for durability
Zinc-coated lower spring perches
Integrated bump stops and dust boots

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

ECS Tuning Adjustable Damping Coilover Systems are developed in-house, tested and inspected by the Research & Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. The highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology and methods, ensuring the necessary long term product testing was performed on multiple test vehicles in the harshest conditions available.

The B16 PSS10 coilovers offer a stiffer spring rate than stock and a lower ride height for less bodyroll and better handling. These are among the easiest coil over kits on the market - no special mounts required (works with stock mounts and sway bar links), larger adjustment knob allows for easy shock damping changes, 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!

Bilstein's monotube shock dampers in the PSS10 offer 10 precise settings for compression and rebound. A new setting is just a click away, allowing you to set a ride and handling combination that works for your setting. Instead of offering too many shock settings that you're never going to use, Bilstein has chosen ten optimal damping curves from a smooth street setting (P10) to an ultra-stiff track-only setup (P1). Shock changes are made from an easy-to-use over-sized adjuster knob.

Ride height adjustments are done from perches that ride on each shock body, which are zinc coated for excellent wear and corrosion resistance. You can set the ride height between 0.5 to 1.3 inches lower than stock ride height. Springs are progressively rated so their initial compression rating is quite soft and then becomes stiffer as the spring compresses. These are stiffer than most coil over kit manufacturers and the results of Bilstein's extensive testing on the German Nurgburgring and Autobahn.

The fitment of these is just like a standard shock and spring package. The front struts and rear shocks are compatible with the stock strut and shock mounts. You can re-use your own or choose a mount with additional features. Because the Bilstein design keeps the sway bar tab in the original location, you can re-use the stock sway bar links. 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 a the factory strut. In the rear, ride height is made by an adjustable spring perch that sits under the rear spring. Install instructions and diagrams included.

If you're looking for a supremely capable and high quality suspension, then look no further than the Bilstein PSS10. It combines all of the best German engineering with real-world development, and a lifetime warranty.

Fitment note: this system works only on cars not equipped with the factory EDC electronically adjustable shocks.

Featuring:

• Largest available piston diameter for greater sensitivity and precise control.
• Patented digressive piston head design and deflective valving instantly reacts to changing road conditions.
• 10-way adjustable dampening knobs that "click" from soft to hard with no tools or jacking required.
• Monotube design dissipates heat more effectively than a twin tube shock for cooler, more efficient operation and longer life.
• Weather resistant coating to resist oxidization, and ensure long life.
• Lighter weight reduces wear and tear on suspension components.
• Wrenches to adjust front and rear ride height included!
