ISR Performance Pro Series Coilovers - BMW E36

The ISR Performance Pro Series Coilovers are 32-way adjustable damping coilovers for the BMW E36. 6k front spring rate, 8k rear spring rate, front pillowball upper mounts, and Japanese-sourced bearings. Designed as a street-and-track coilover that delivers performance dampening control without sacrificing daily-driver comfort.

What It Does

Adjustable coilovers let you tune ride height and damping to the way you actually drive. 32 clicks of damping adjustment cover the range from a comfortable street setting to a stiff track setting, which means one set of coilovers can handle daily commuting and weekend track days without compromise. The 6k front / 8k rear spring rates are tuned for the E36 chassis to give predictable handling on a lowered car without crashing through bumps.

Front pillowball upper mounts give precise steering response and let you dial in camber for more aggressive alignment setups. Japanese-sourced bearings on critical wear points improve longevity over generic budget coilovers.

Critical Fitment Exclusion

DOES NOT FIT THE E36 COMPACT. The E36/5 Compact (318ti and similar) uses a semi-trailing arm rear suspension that differs from the standard E36 multi-link, and these coilovers will not work on Compact-chassis cars. Confirm your body style before ordering.

Critical Note: Non-True-Type Rear

These coilovers utilize an OE-style spring and bucket setup in the rear, not a true-type coilover. The rear consists of separate springs and shocks that bolt to the factory spring perch locations, rather than an integrated coilover unit with the spring on the damper. This is normal for E36 platform coilovers and means installation in the rear is more like a spring-and-shock swap than a coilover swap.
