Product Details
Stance XR3 Coilovers for the 1999-2006 BMW 3 Series RWD (E46) are the ultimate suspension upgrade for drivers seeking precision handling, full adjustability, and track-ready durability. Built on the proven foundation of the XR1 system, the XR3 takes performance to the next level with triple-adjustable damping, external reservoirs, and an inverted monotube design. Whether you're carving corners on the street or pushing limits on the track, XR3 coilovers deliver unmatched control and feel.
What sets the Stance XR3 apart is its fully independent damping adjustment system. With 16 clicks of rebound and low-speed compression, plus 11 clicks of high-speed compression, you can fine-tune your suspension response for any condition or driving style. Combined with digressive valving, this setup ensures maximum grip during weight transfer while still soaking up bumps without upsetting chassis balance.
Designed with motorsports in mind, the XR3 Coilovers features a robust 45mm inverted strut shaft for increased rigidity, external reservoirs for heat dissipation, and cold-wound linear springs for consistent performance. Every kit includes high-quality components like camber-adjustable top mounts (when applicable), dust boots, and corrosion-resistant finishes to ensure long-lasting performance in harsh environments.
Key Features:
- Triple-adjustable damping: rebound, low-speed, and high-speed compression
- Inverted monotube design with external reservoirs
- Digressive valving for improved grip and response
- 45mm oversized strut shaft for added rigidity
- Cold-wound linear springs for consistent spring rate
- Independent ride height adjustment via lower brackets

Stance XR3 Coilovers are ideal for serious enthusiasts who demand more than just a daily driver setup. If you're ready to upgrade from the XR1 or other entry-level kits, the XR3 delivers the precision, customization, and build quality needed to dominate the street and the track.
