Fitting and delivery

The MTS F40 camber replaces the original dampers and springs and fits on the original mounting points.

• The stated lowering applies relative to the standard suspension. If the car has a factory sport suspension, the lowering will be smaller.
• When fitting, check the clearance between tyre or wheel and the strut: at least 5 mm. If it is less, use approved wheel spacers.
• Sometimes the rear height adjuster has to be removed to achieve the maximum lowering.
• Tip for adjusting the rear: remove the height adjuster, set the spring seat to the new position and refit the adjuster.
• After lowering, have the wheel alignment checked, because camber and toe change as well.

Delivery: 4 to 7 working days while manufacturer stock lasts.

The MTS F40 camber combines zinc-plated damper bodies, Eibach springs of 30-45 N/mm and up to 75 mm of lowering for the BMW 1 Series (F40), 2 Series (F44 and F45) and X1 (F48).

Why choose the MTS F40 camber?

With the MTS F40 camber you choose the setup MTS Technik itself recommends as standard: enough lowering for a tight stance, and a character that doesn’t become tiring on the road. The Gold version is the most affordable way to get an MTS Technik coilover kit, with a zinc coating that protects well against rust. With the included camber plates you set the camber, which with a large lowering means less tyre wear and more grip.
