It uses lightweight aluminium construction, height-adjustable threaded bodies and separate rebound and bump adjustment on every damper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 10-click dials per damper give 100 settings, so the car can be tuned to the circuit, tyre and driving style.

Set the ride height equally side to side before fitting, tighten the lock rings, and never go below the minimum thread engagement given in Bilstein's instructions. Check that the wheels and tyres clear the arches and suspension at full lock and full compression. Let the springs settle, re-check the ride height, then have a four-wheel alignment carried out. We recommend professional fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I check this fits my BMW 3-Series?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is for the BMW 3-Series F30 F22 (2012-2018). Check the details in the Fitment section, and if you're unsure, send us your registration or VIN and we'll confirm before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow low can I go?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight adjustable. Always keep the minimum thread engagement shown in Bilstein's instructions and check that the tyres clear the arches at full lock and full compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the damping adjustment work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach damper has two dials with 10 clicks each: one for rebound and one for bump. That gives 100 combinations. Change one dial a couple of clicks at a time and keep both sides of the car the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a wheel alignment after fitting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Changing the ride height changes the suspension geometry, so a four-wheel alignment is needed after fitting. Let the springs settle for a few hundred miles first and re-check the ride height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs EVO R road legal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEVO R is developed as a race suspension for track and motorsport use, and Bilstein does not supply it for everyday road use. For a road car, look at EVO S, EVO T1 or EVO T2 instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat type of dampers does it use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonotube gas-pressure, according to Bilstein's data for this part number. Gas-pressure dampers resist fading when they get hot during hard driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there a warranty?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Bilstein suspension is covered against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact us with your order number if you have any problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need new top mounts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are not included. If your existing top mounts, bearings or bump stops are worn, replace them while the suspension is apart, as worn mounts can cause knocks and affect the alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bilstein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58919078855039,"sku":"89-324912","price":4785.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/6251\/6693\/files\/bilstein-evo-r.jpg?v=1792763509","url":"https:\/\/coilovers.co.uk\/products\/bilstein-evo-r-coilovers-bmw-3-series-f30-f22-12-18","provider":"Coilovers.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
