Real-world benefits on your E88 cabriolet

This nearside front sport damper tightens up front-end response, reduces pitch and roll, and keeps the tyre planted over bumpy British roads. Pair it with quality lowering springs for a fast-road setup that looks right and feels even better. We have installed these on customer cars and our own builds, and the feedback is consistently positive for ride control, confidence and build quality.

Fitment and advice
