Product Details

These MTS Technik Street Series coilovers fit the 1979-1981 BMW 528i (E12). MTS coilovers let you adjust the suspension height to your preference and to road conditions. The firmer suspension makes the car more predictable to drive. With these MTS E12 528i coilovers you can reset the ride height when you swap between larger summer wheels and smaller winter wheels.

Standard Features

  • The Street Series is the default setup MTS engineers suggest, with a wide range of lowering and a balance of comfort and stiffness.

Notes
  • Front and Rear axle height adjustable (threaded shock absorber housing).
  • If the vehicle is equipped with a stock sport suspension, the lowering mentioned in this catalogue will be relatively lower.
  • During the installation of suspension set the clearance between tire/rim and suspension strut shall be checked. The minimum allowed gap is 5mm (0.2 inch). Otherwise use certificated wheel spacers.
  • Independent height adjustment at the lower brackets on the Front dampers.
  • Set includes 2x upper "camber plates" on the Front axle.
  • The installation requires the use of OE Front struts - they should be cut and welded as described in the attached manual.
