ST Suspensions Springs & Shocks Kit for BMW 3 Series E46 Saloon/Sedan 1998-2005 (346L/C/R/K) 316i 318i – Sport Suspension Lowering Kit 40/30mm Drop – Handling Upgrade Shock Absorber & Spring Set

BMW E46 3 Series Saloon Handling Upgrade – ST Springs and Shocks Package

Transform the way your BMW E46 drives with this premium matched springs and shock absorber set from ST. Designed for everyday road use with a genuine performance edge, this chassis upgrade delivers a confident ride height drop and a sharper, more controlled feel without ruining comfort.

We have fitted this package on customer cars at our Warwickshire workshop and the feedback has been consistently brilliant. Expect a tighter turn-in, reduced body roll, a more planted stance and OEM-like refinement. If you want your 3 Series to feel alert, composed and ready for spirited B-road driving, this is the go-to choice.

• Vehicle-specific twin-tube shock design with carefully matched valving for balanced control
