BMW E46 3 Series Stainless Adjustable Suspension Kit

Give your E46 the drop, control and comfort it deserves with this stainless, height-adjustable shock and spring package from KW. This road-focused damper and spring system delivers precise rebound tuning in 16 steps, real-world ride quality and a crisp, confidence-inspiring feel on British roads. Perfect for a daily-driven performance build or a fast-road weekend car, it is a proven upgrade our customers love.

We have fitted this kit on multiple E46 platforms in-house and the feedback is consistently excellent. Sharper steering response, reduced body roll, improved stability over bumps and a composed ride at motorway speeds make it a standout choice for the BMW 3 Series E46.

How it transforms your E46

Turn the rebound adjuster firmer to tighten body control, reduce float and improve high-speed stability. Back it off for extra compliance on poor road surfaces. Because rebound is adjusted independently of the compression base valve, the balance stays consistent while you fine-tune feel to suit your tyres and wheels. Expect flatter cornering, cleaner turn-in and a composed ride that makes your E46 feel modern and planted.
