Nitron elec-TRON R3 Coilovers BMW M3 F80 14-18

Nitron elec-TRON R3 Coilovers for BMW M3 F80 (2014-2018) – Semi-Active Coilovers with Manual Compression Adjustment

Nitron elec-TRON R3 coilovers for the BMW M3 F80 (2014-2018), hand built to order for enthusiasts and professionals who want the most from their car on road and track.

Please note: This kit works with the BMW EDC system, so no additional products are needed.

The elec-TRON R3 combines the electronic solenoid valve with manual high and low-speed compression adjusters (16 high-speed and 26 low-speed clicks). The manual settings set the baseline, and the electronic valve then adjusts damping in real time. Piggyback or remote reservoirs keep compression changes quick and simple.

Nitron's elec-TRON proportional solenoid valve gives each damper its own electronically controlled valve, so damping can be adjusted individually at every wheel. The valve works across a 300-1800mA range and moves from full hard to full soft in around 6 to 8 milliseconds, adjusting both compression and rebound by fine-tuning the bleed of the shim stack inside Nitron's gas-pressurised monotube damper.

Installation

The kit replaces the standard dampers and springs. Set the ride height and preload, let the suspension settle, then recheck the height and have a four-wheel alignment carried out. We recommend professional fitting.

All Nitron shocks are hand made to order. Lead times are normally 2-3 weeks, but can be longer at busy times, so contact us for an up-to-date estimate.

Should I choose Fast Road or Track Day spec?

Fast Road Spec uses softer springs for comfort on the road, while Track Day Spec uses stiffer springs for track use. Both are listed under Specifications above. Choose the one that matches how you use the car most.

How is the damping adjusted?

The elec-TRON valve controls damping electronically, and manual high and low-speed compression adjusters (16 and 26 clicks) set the baseline.

Do I need anything else to run this kit?

This kit works with the BMW EDC system, so no additional products are needed.

Can I have different spring rates?

Yes. Every kit is built and sprung to order, so contact us before ordering to discuss your spring rates.

Can the dampers be serviced?

Yes. Nitron dampers are fully serviceable, so they can be rebuilt and refreshed rather than replaced.

Do I need a wheel alignment after fitting?

Yes. Changing the suspension and ride height alters the geometry, so a four-wheel alignment should be carried out once the car has settled.

How long will it take to arrive?

All Nitron shocks are hand made to order. Lead times are normally 2-3 weeks, but contact us for an up-to-date estimate.

What warranty is included?

Nitron products are covered against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact us if you have a problem with your kit.
