Description
BMW E36 M3 True Rear (92-99) BC Racing BR coilover kit 6/6 kg/mm
The BC Racing BR coilover kit E36 M3 True Rear (part number I-120-BR-RH) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the BMW E36 M3, model years 1992 to 1999, in True Rear version. The spring rate is 6 kg/mm front and 6 kg/mm rear.
With this kit the M3 sits on complete struts all round. BC Racing also calls this version Rear Integrated: at the rear the spring goes around the damper, whereas the M3 has a separate spring and a separate damper from the factory.
The BR series is the all-rounder from BC Racing, with monotube dampers and a linear piston. Comfortable enough to drive every day, firm enough for a track day or autocross. Pillowball top mounts are included with each system, and on suitable kits camber plates front and rear are possible.
The spring rate is 6/6 kg/mm and you adjust the damping in 30 clicks. The ride height is fully adjustable, independent of the spring preload.
Key benefits
- True Rear for the M3: a complete strut at the rear instead of a separate spring and damper.
- All-round setup: daily driving with the occasional track day or autocross.
- Linear piston: predictable behaviour that you quickly get to know.
- 30-click adjustment: compression and rebound together, per damper.
- Height independent of preload: low without giving up damper stroke.
- Pillowball top mounts: direct feel through the steering wheel.
- Patented concave lock ring: the lower lock ring that fixes the height.
- Spring rate 6/6 kg/mm: evenly split between front and rear.

BMW M3 E36, model years 1992 to 1999

Fitting and delivery
The kit is vehicle-specific and replaces the original dampers and springs; at the rear the separate spring and damper make way for the coilover. Please note: BC Racing specifies that the body shell must be reinforced before fitting a True Rear kit. Then have the wheel alignment set, because camber and toe change along with the height. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If it is temporarily unavailable, you can still order and we will keep you informed.
An M3 that sits low and firm on the road and is just as easy to adjust at the rear as at the front, without the price of a reservoir kit.
Why choose this BR coilover kit E36 M3 True Rear?
The E36 M3 is a car you want to keep driving, off the track too. The BR gives it a lower, firmer stance without the road becoming a punishment. With the True Rear design you set the rear height directly on the coilover, which makes adjusting balance and height a lot easier.
