Product Details
Take total control of your E36's handling with our all-new ECS Performance 2-Way Adjustable Coilover System! Built specifically for autocross, track day, and HPDE use, this system bridges the gap between standard off-the-shelf coilovers and full custom motorsport suspension. With independent compression and rebound controls supported by external reservoirs, this system unlocks the precision tuning needed to shave seconds off your lap times.
Traditional 1-way coilovers force a single adjustment knob to balance both bump and rebound. These 2-way dampers eliminate that trade-off with fully independent compression and rebound controls. Use the 32 levels of compression adjustment to control front weight transfer under heavy braking, maximizing entry grip and allowing you to trail-brake deep into corners without understeer. 22 rebound levels fine-tune chassis recovery on brake release, keeping the front tires loaded through the apex for faster power-on exit speeds.
To maintain consistent performance during extended periods of performance driving, these dampers feature dedicated external fluid reservoirs that significantly increase total gas volume. During rigorous track use, rapid piston movement generates intense friction and heat, causing standard damper oil to thin out, aerate, and lose its damping force. By increasing overall fluid capacity, the external reservoirs effectively dissipate heat to keep peak oil temperatures down.
FEATURES
- Separate compression and rebound adjustment controls eliminate the performance compromises of traditional 1-way setups
- 32 compression adjustment settings (on the damper shaft)
- 22 rebound adjustment settings (on the reservoir body)
- Dedicated external oil reservoirs increase total fluid capacity to dissipate heat, preventing shock fade and maintaining consistent damping rates during extended track sessions
- Included 8K front and 10K rear springs deliver sharp turn-in response while maintaining compliance over curbs
- Ride height adjustment range of
- Full body-length height adjustability allows you to lower the center of gravity without reducing shock travel or altering spring preload
PRODUCT DESIGN
- Strut and shock bodies finished with durable black powdercoat for good looks and even better longevity
- Threaded portions are black zinc-coated for optimum corrosion protection
- Coil springs are finished in silver metallic powdercoat for long-term durability
- Red anodized billet aluminum lower spring seats with locking collars allow for quick, on-the-car adjustment with the included spanner wrenches

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Our Performance 2-Way Adjustable Coilover System was developed in-house, tested, and inspected by our Research & Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for 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.
Note: The front dampers included with this kit feature centered top mounts. As a result, installing these on an OBDII E36 M3 will result in a slight reduction in caster. This can be solved by installing off-center FCABs from an OBDI M3 (31129064875).
