BC Racing RM Series Coilovers - 1992-1998 BMW 3 Series Sedan (E36)
Product Details
BC Racing RM Series Coilovers for the 1992-1998 BMW 3 Series Sedan (E36) use 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 BC Racing RM Series Coilover System uses a much larger inverted piston shaft that can handle higher lateral loads for longer periods of time without fatigue. These higher lateral loads are only prevalent on McPherson style strut suspension, not on Double A-Arm vehicles.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
How low will these coilovers go?
On average, Standard Drop allows about 1-2 inches of drop range below factory ride height. Extreme Low allows about 2-3 inches of drop.
Can they achieve factory ride height?
No. In most cases, factory ride height cannot be achieved.
Will the struts be valved correctly?
Yes! The shocks and/or struts are always valved to match the spring rates you choose during a custom build. There is no additional cost.
Can they be rebuilt?
All BC Racing Coilovers can be rebuilt by purchasing individual replacement parts. For example, if a strut leaks, you can simply replace the shock cartridge.
Is there rush shipping?
Rush shipping is not offered, but all in-stock kits ship very fast— most by the next day.
Customizing the coilovers in any way will delay the shipment by a few weeks on average.
