Road confidence and track pace

On the street you get a composed, quiet ride with far better control over rough surfaces. On circuit or at a track evening, the adjustability opens up meaningful gains in stability and mid-corner balance. Run a sportier bump setting to tame body roll, then trim rebound for tyre contact and traction. If you are running larger wheels and tyres, or extra negative camber, the damping range lets you match the setup to your geometry.

Built to last in the UK climate

Stainless construction protects against rust from salt and rain, so height adjustment remains usable long term. This is a premium kit designed for years of service without seized threads or flaky paint, making it a smart investment for your E46 Compact.
