Street Coilovers for BMW E36 3 Series 316 318 323 325 328 M3 Struts Shock
Product Description
Refresh or upgrade your BMW E36 suspension with this complete maXpeedingrods Street Series coilover kit. The system replaces the factory front struts, rear shocks, and springs while providing adjustable ride height for a lower, more personalized stance.
The front assemblies feature adjustable pillow-ball upper mounts for camber adjustment. The twin-tube, oil-filled dampers use fixed damping, making this an entry-level street suspension rather than a separately adjustable performance-damping system.

Important Fitment Information
- Fits rear-wheel-drive E36 models only.
- Not intended for E36 Compact/318ti hatchback models unless fitment is independently confirmed. Compact models use a different rear-suspension design.
- Verify fitment carefully on European-market diesel models and other uncommon configurations.
- M3 installation and final ride height may differ from non-M applications.
- Compare the mounting points and included components with the vehicle’s original suspension before installation.
Installation Notes
Professional installation is strongly recommended. Suspension installation requires appropriate tools, vehicle-support equipment, and mechanical experience.
After installation:
- Set both sides to equal ride height.
- Check tire, wheel, brake-hose, and suspension clearances.
- Tighten all fasteners to BMW specifications.
- Perform a complete four-wheel alignment.
- Recheck fasteners after the initial break-in period.
Lowering a vehicle can affect ground clearance, wheel alignment, tire wear, handling, and suspension travel. Do not set the vehicle excessively low or preload the springs incorrectly.
