Whats included in Street/Track Coil Over Kit?

• Complete Front Strut Housing Machined from seamless DOM 1026 steel alloy tubing. High clearance sway bar bracket welded on.

• Koni Single Adjustable Front Strut Struts are externally adjustable from underneath the hood. This strut is prepared for coil over use, and eliminates machining of critical suspension components .

• Ground Control Threaded Sleeves: This system is designed to eliminate stress risers caused by machining notches into the strut housing. Unlike other companies that claim superiority by cutting threads into a critical component of the suspension, Ground Control uses engineering common sense to maximize the strength of the suspension.

• Ground Control Adjustable Spring Perch: A unique design, that uses an allen head bolt to clamp the single threaded perch into the correct position. No secondary pieces are needed to "jam" the threaded perch into position. This method of clamping onto the threads also prevents sand, grit, and water from getting into the threads, which is a common problem with jam nuts.

• 2 SHORT Koni single adjustable rear shocks

Koni Single Adjustable Rear Shocks are preadjusted to match rear spring rates using Ground Control's shock dyno. The street/track is now exclusively the "top-adjust" version, which adjusts from inside the trunk with no tools needed. The rear shocks are custom built and valved by Koni to GC specifications, and are shorter than standard Konis.

• 4 Ground Control springs, manufactured by Eibach, your choice of 4 rates

Eibach Springs: All popular street spring rates are available. Ground Control springs are made by Eibach on German machines both in the USA and in Germany, however all Eibach springs have a lifetime guarantee against sagging, rate change, or any manufacturing or material failure.

Lifetime guarantee. Compare.

• 4 Ground Control bump stops (made in Germany)

Ground Control Bump Stop: We do not just ask you to reuse your stock bump. The stock bump stop is designed for stock suspension we provide a bump stop designed to work with our suspension. These are soft foam, same quality as OE BMW parts, but made to our specs in Germany. Our race bump stops are even different than our street bump stops.

 

• 2 rear ride height adjusters

Ground Control Rear Ride Height Adjustment Kit Billet aluminum threaded adjusters bolt on top of the rear control arm. The e46 has a larger diameter rear axle than the standard e36, so it is necessary for clearance to not have any portion of the adjuster below the control arm.

• 1 Pair front Camber Plates

Ground Control Racing Camber / Caster Plates: More camber adjustment than stock, caster adjustment, aircraft bearing, engraved with calibrated degrees, with stainless steel reinforcement. Every component is anodized or plated, including fasteners. Adds extra travel to avoid excessive bottoming out, this is a very well engineered product. The stainless steel reinforcement prevents electrolysis between the steel fender and the aluminum camber plate.

Camber is quickly adjustable by sliding the mounts, without removing any components from the car. The priority of this design is to allow fast, repeatable alignment changes at the track. Caster is adjustable, when necessary to correct tha car, by changing a shim under the plate.

The Ground Control camber plates feature a urethane bushing that carries the side loads only, and does not rotate (no squeek!) and allows for articulation of the shock shaft. This urethane bushing is very under stressed, as the Ground Control design does NOT support the weight of the car on the urethane bushing. Instead, the weight of the car is supported by a completely separate rotating ball bearing, which is also manufactured in Germany. The entire assembly is machined at an angle, just like the stock upper mount. Beware of less expensive machining that bends the strut shaft after installation.

• 1 Pair rear upper shock mounts

Ground Control Rear Shock Mount Billet aluminum, urethane bushings, pre assembled. Includes gaskets and reinforcements.

* Suspension is shipped completely assembled and preadjusted*

 

Fitment for E46 M3

 

 

 

 

 

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the fact that these kits are built to YOUR specs, please allow up to 4 weeks for delivery for custom spring rates. You will be contacted with further follow up info. This is standard with all suspensions that request custom spring rates as they are shipped directly from the maufacturer.

Engineered for street and occasional track use, H&R Coil-Overs feature a fully-threaded shock body (not an imitation sleeve-over) that allows you to precisely dial in height adjustment to achieve optimum weight transfer, or simply get the aggressive look you’ve been looking for. Featuring H&R’s exclusive dynamic damper technology, each shock is engineered to work in harmony with a progressive-rate spring, together creating a finely-tuned suspension system.

Coil over suspension is the ultimate expression of high-performance handling, and now H&R Special Springs takes this technology to the next level with its new PCS Coil Overs. Like H&R’s original Coil-Overs, PCS Coil-Overs are engineered for street use, but have a number of new features designed for the enthusiast who desires a manual shock dampening feature.

In addition to state-of-the-art inverted damper technology and adjustable ride height, PCS Coil Overs feature an external adjustment knob that allows the user to simultaneously adjust rebound and compression. Nose-diving under hard breaking is virtually eliminated, which effectively reduces braking distance. And unlike traditional twin-tube shock absorbers, H&R’s mono-tube gas shock absorbers eliminate foaming of the damper oil, even under extreme conditions.

Fits all Porsche 996 Carrera 4 or 4S AWD Coupe, Cabrio, Targa 99-04

Height adjustments front and rear are 1.0 - 2.25 and 1.0 - 2.25
