It is HSD's road-focused range: a big step up in body control and steering response over standard suspension, while keeping a ride you can live with every day and the option of the odd track day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 14-way damping adjuster lets you go from a softer road setting to a firmer track setting in a few clicks. Ride height is set by screwing the damper body up or down, separately from spring preload, so you can lower the car without losing suspension travel or changing how the spring behaves. Front camber is adjustable, which helps you get the most from your tyres once the car is lowered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe latest Version 2 front lower brackets have the anti-roll bar drop link mount built in, so fitting is simpler than on earlier kits. The Track Pack uses stiffer springs (12kg front, 14kg rear) for less body roll and sharper turn-in on circuit, at the cost of a firmer ride on the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDamper type:\u003c\/strong\u003e low gas-pressure twin-tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDamping adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14-way, soft to hard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring pack:\u003c\/strong\u003e Track Pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront spring:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12kg\/mm (approx. 118 N\/mm), 175mm long, 65mm ID\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear spring:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14kg\/mm (approx. 137 N\/mm), 125mm long, 65mm ID\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height, Damping and Front Camber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHSD part number:\u003c\/strong\u003e HSD8-DT-BM02-RC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14-way adjustable twin-tube dampers with low gas pressure for a compliant road ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-length height adjustment, separate from spring preload, so you keep full damper stroke when lowered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront camber adjustment to dial in alignment once lowered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6061 aluminium top mounts and spring seat collars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated damper bodies with e-coated lower mounts and full-length dust boots for corrosion protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersion 2 front brackets with built-in anti-roll bar drop link mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear adjuster accepts the standard bulb spring or a 125mm coilover spring for Track Pack rates up to 20kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned as a bolt-on kit for this car, with spares and rebuild support through the UK distributor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 x HSD Dualtech coilovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShorter front anti-roll bar drop links\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x C-spanners for height and preload adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x set of fitting instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x HSD stickers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e the HSD feature graphics in the gallery are illustrations of the range; the coilovers supplied are specific to this car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW 3 Series E46 M3 (2000-2006)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot suitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e The BMW 3 Series E46 Non M3 (1998-2005) - this needs a different HSD kit; the BMW 3 Series E46 Non M3 True Rear (1998-2005) - this needs a different HSD kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit is a direct replacement for the standard dampers and springs on the BMW 3 Series E46 M3, using the factory mounting points with no cutting or drilling. Fit the shorter anti-roll bar drop links supplied to the integrated mount on the front brackets. Set an even ride height side to side using the body adjustment rather than the preload collars, tighten every lock ring, then have a full four-wheel alignment done, including camber. Check the ride height and that all bolts and lock rings are tight again after the first few hundred miles. We recommend professional fitting by a garage with spring compressors and alignment equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I choose the Default or Track Pack springs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose Default for road use and occasional track days. The Track Pack's stiffer springs reduce body roll and suit regular track use or very low ride heights, but the ride is firmer. This listing is the Track Pack kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this kit fit my car?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHSD lists this kit for the BMW 3 Series E46 M3 (2000-2006). Not suitable for: the BMW 3 Series E46 Non M3 (1998-2005) - this needs a different HSD kit; the BMW 3 Series E46 Non M3 True Rear (1998-2005) - this needs a different HSD kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I adjust camber with these coilovers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Front camber is adjustable. A full alignment is still needed after fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between HSD Dualtech and MonoPro?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDualtech uses 14-way twin-tube dampers and is aimed at road cars with occasional track use. MonoPro uses 16-way high gas-pressure monotube dampers that stay consistent when driven hard, and suits regular track days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I lower the car without changing the spring preload?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. HSD coilovers adjust ride height by screwing the damper body in its lower mount, separately from the spring preload collar, so you keep the same spring behaviour and damper travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a wheel alignment after fitting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Changing ride height alters toe and camber, so a full four-wheel alignment is needed after fitting and after any big height change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these coilovers road legal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, they are designed for road use. Lowering is a modification, so tell your insurer, and keep enough ground clearance and suspension travel for UK roads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty do HSD coilovers have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHSD coilovers are covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Spare parts, springs and rebuild support are available through the UK distributor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HSD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58919662649727,"sku":"HSD-K-BMW-3-SERIES-E46-M3-D-T","price":798.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/6251\/6693\/files\/hsd8-dt-bm02_1_3_9ab08eaf-6b33-4757-9ba9-aacabcde90c1.jpg?v=1792766698","url":"https:\/\/coilovers.co.uk\/products\/hsd-dualtech-track-pack-coilovers-bmw-3-series-e46-m3-00-06","provider":"Coilovers.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
