BMW Suspension Parts

Due to their soft rubber construction, OE strut mounts are known to wear at an accelerated rate. Many high-mileage vehicles fall victim to strut mount failure, which is commonly associated with annoying clunks, groans, or rattles from the front suspension.

With this issue in mind, ECS Tuning developed their heavy-duty front strut mount with upgraded, higher durometer rubber to resolve sloppy handling and increase longevity. Manufactured precisely within OEM tolerances, these mounts are a perfect fit for your MINI.

Features:

Reduces deflection: Increases vehicle handling and cornering dynamics by removing deflection within the strut mount. Increases longevity: Upgraded rubber construction makes for a stiffer mount, less prone to cracking and general degradation. Developed in-house: Designed and tested by ECS Tuning engineers, this mount is sure to outlast an OE replacement. Upgrade to a better strut mount without sacrificing ride comfort! Improve longevity and ride control all at once.

Dramatically improve performance and aesthetics with an average lowering up to 1.4" front and rear.

Take your F3x to the next level with upgraded performance and aesthetic. ECS lowering springs are specifically designed with both handling and comfort in mind for the best mix or performance and drivability. With an average lowering range of 1.0"-1.4" you have the added benefit of lower center of gravity providing superior cornering and better steering feedback. Lowering springs not only increase handling performance they provide an astounding aesthetic upgrade by decreasing the wheel gap and giving your car a more planted/fitted appearance.

Designed specifically for your chassis these F3x lowering springs feature a linear style spring similar to a coilover. The issue with coilovers is the rough ride due to a drastic drop and much higher spring rates. When you have higher spring rate like coilovers it takes much more force to compress the spring which leads to a much more rigid ride. ECS lowering springs provide a happy medium between the factory suspension and coilover suspension. These springs are stiffer than factory but softer than a coilover spring to achieve the balance of increased performance and aesthetics while retaining a comfortable ride.

What is spring rate?
​You may ask yourself "what is the spring rate and how does it affect my ride?" Spring rate is the amount of force needed to compress a spring one inch. For example if you have a spring rate of 300lbs per inch it will take 300lbs of force to compress the spring one inch. An average coilover for your F3x has over 400 lbs/in for the front and over 500 lbs/in for the rear, this means that it will take over 400lbs of force to compress your front spring one inch and over 500lbs of force to compress the rear one inch. The higher the spring rate, the more rigid your ride is going to be. ECS lowering springs for your F3x have a spring rate of 184 lbs/in in the front and 462 lbs/in, an increase over factory but much less than a coilover. You can now both understand and explain the benefits of lowering springs to find the best solution for you.

Fine-tuning your coilover damping shouldn’t mean stripping out your rear seats or interior panels. On many applications, rear shock adjusters are hidden behind carpet, trim, or seatbacks, making quick adjustments a hassle.

The ECS Rear Damping Extension Kit solves that problem with a clean and functional solution. These flexible extensions relocate the adjustment knobs to an easily accessible point above the rear shock towers, letting you dial in your suspension from inside the cabin, no disassembly required.

Installation is straightforward: simply drill a small access hole in your interior trim and route the extension cables through. The adjustment knobs can be removed to allow the line to pass through smaller openings, minimizing cutting. For proper installation, be sure to fully loosen the set screw, insert the cable, then securely tighten it using the provided Allen key.

A smart upgrade for track cars, daily drivers, or anyone who values easy access to suspension tuning, without compromising interior fit and finish.

The polished aluminum ECS strut tower bar kit offers more than just good looks - it reduces chassis flex to stiffen the suspension, and helps to triangulate the front end, providing more consistent suspension geometry.

Strut tower plates should sit flush against the strut towers. If this is not the case, your strut towers are to some extent deformed. This can be easily remedied in minor cases with a block of wood and a hammer.

Enhance your BMW's handling with M7 MAXX-G Adjustable Swaybar Endlinks designed for lowered or raised MINIs. Crafted from forged SAE 4340 alloy steel, these endlinks offer superior strength and symmetry in cornering performance, allowing bind-free suspension travel and improved chassis balance. The adjustability feature ensures proper alignment, maximum grip, and neutralized sway bars for consistent balance in left and right-hand turns.

Benefits:

• Superior strength with forged alloy steel construction
• Symmetric cornering performance enhancement
• Bind-free suspension travel and better alignment
• Adjustable length for precise chassis tuning
• Corrosion-resistant black anodized finish
• Proudly made in the USA

The ECS Tuning Billet Front Sway Bar Mounting Kit will provide your vehicle with a more rigid mounting solution from the sway bar to chassis than the OEM steel brackets. With an improved sway bar mounting bracket and the included polyurethane sway bar bushings you can expect to achieve an increase in rear sway bar effectiveness and less body roll as a result.

PART DESIGN

The front sway bar mounting brackets are made from a solid piece of 6061-T6 billet aluminum that are precision CNC-machined to bolt into the OEM mounting location while utilizing greaseable, polyurethane bushings. They are Type II black anodized for corrosion protection and include zinc flake coated Class 12.9 alloy steel bolts for premium performance.

The red polyurethane bushings feature a greaseable channel for extended service life and quieter operation than standard polyurethane bushings.

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

Billet & poly mounts replacing the OEM steel & rubber configuration you can expect faster reaction speed and greater effectiveness from your front sway bar due to less deflection. This translates to better handling with sharper, flatter cornering with reduced body roll.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

ECS Billet Front Sway Bar Mounting Kit was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by the Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility to ensure the highest level of precision and quality is delivered throughout rigorous long term product testing and leading edge product development methods.

INSTALLATION AND SUPPORT

Installation is simple. Simply unbolt your front sway bar mounting brackets and slip over our poly bushings and billet mounting brackets with the included hardware. That's it! Enjoy better handling and a crisp front suspension.

SPECIAL NOTE: You can use any conventional automotive bearing grease for service.

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.
