Transform your BMW E61 estate with a premium height adjustable suspension upgrade that delivers sharper turn-in, flatter cornering and a composed ride on British roads. This Variant 2 stainless steel system gives you precise 16-stage rebound control, so you can dial in comfort for commuting or tighten things up for spirited B-road and track-day driving. It is corrosion resistant, built for long-term reliability and engineered specifically for the E61 chassis.

Looking to lower your BMW 5 Series Touring for a better stance without sacrificing drivability? This performance spring and damper package provides continuous ride height adjustment within the tested range, allowing you to fine-tune your setup for daily use, fast road or weekend fun. Expect reduced body roll, improved stability at speed and confident feedback through the wheel.

Why E61 owners choose this setup

• Stainless steel damper bodies - rust resistant construction for year-round UK use
• Continuous ride height adjustment - achieve the look and handling balance you want
• Vehicle-specific valving developed on demanding test tracks for the E61 platform

Real-world results

We have fitted this suspension on customer E61 cars and run it on our own builds. Feedback is consistently positive - better mid-corner control, smoother rebound over bumps, and a refined ride that works brilliantly on UK A-roads and motorways. If you have upgraded to larger wheels and tyres, the 16-step rebound adjusters make it simple to match damping to your new setup.
