5100 Series Shock Absorbers for MINI

Enhance your MINI's performance with the 5100 Series shock absorbers, featuring innovative inverted/upside-down technology. These shock absorbers utilize race-proven design to provide exceptional strength and improved suspension geometry, ensuring optimal performance on both road and track environments. With the 5100 Series suspension, enjoy better performance than standard twin-tube designs, thanks to its adjustability and rebound control. The Monotube design separates oil and nitrogen, allowing for a larger piston and increased damper performance. This results in enhanced grip, control, and driver feedback. Additionally, the set includes front top mounts and is rebuildable for long-term use.

Benefits:

• Enhanced performance compared to standard twin-tube designs
• Innovative inverted technology for better suspension geometry
• Adjustable rebound for personalized driving experience
• Monotube design increases damper performance and sensitivity
• Rebuildable set for long-term durability

After much anticipation, we are pleased to release our lowering spring kit for the BMW M3 G80 platform! Taking our experience from our highly popular F80 springs, the goal with this offering was to lower the M3 by a tasteful amount while keeping ride quality the same or better than stock. After multiple prototypes and valuable user feedback, we believe that we met our goal. 

Our lowering springs are specifically designed to utilize the factory dampers. They are fully compatible with both standard as well as adaptive suspension. Each spring is made in the USA to our unique specifications for rates and geometries. The springs are made of high tensile chrome silicon and each unit is shot peened, pre-set, and 100% tested to ensure all the critical dimensions and rate/loads are within tolerance. The springs are then powder-coated with a stealth black finish for an OEM appearance.

Front Lowering: 1.4"

Rear Lowering: 0.7"

Stock Front Rate: 186 lb./in.

EMD Auto Front Rate: 194 lb./in.

Stock Rear Rate: 608 lb./in.

EMD Auto Rear Rate: 645 lb./in.

When an E9X is lowered beyond the limits of just lowering springs, the rear wheels toe-in excessively. This excessive rear toe leads to premature wear, that many people attribute to an increase in negative camber. It has become a common belief that an extremely low vehicle will wear the tires wrong as a matter of consequence. It has become standard practice to go as low as you can and proceed to replace your tires every five to ten thousand miles. Whats more is that when the vehicle reaches a certain ride height, the factory arms become maxed out and there is no way to compensate and dial in the proper toe. You're left with an improperly aligned vehicle that is in effect worse off than it was with the stock suspension installed.

This is not only uneconomical but improper and unsafe. ECS Tuning is proud to offer a solution for this problem in the form of Rogue Engineering E9X adjustable rear toe arms. These arms allow for greater toe adjustment on vehicles that have been lowered with a coilover suspension. With the toe set properly the tires can contact the road properly this maximizes grip and minimizes wear. 

Features:

• 100% machined and anodized, 6061-T6 lightweight aluminum arms
• High-strength, 3-piece, rod end (with carbon fiber reinforced, PTFE race) offers longer life for street compared to standard rod ends
• SEALS-IT Rod end seals keep dirt, water, and other contaminants out
• Rod ends feature grease fittings, to allow for rod end serviceability.
• Lighter than stock!  (Stock is 875g, RE arms are 640g)
• Extremely easy installation and adjustment (your alignment shop will LOVE you!)

Updated design!  Now shipping!
