Fitting and delivery

The MTS Street E39 Inox 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.
• Tip for adjusting the rear: remove the height adjuster, set the spring seat to the new position and refit the adjuster.
• Cars with EDC and/or a V8 engine require additional original parts for the rear axle: 2x upper mounting (33521091710), 2x support ring (33521090282, to be replaced by MTS ring 303202060), 2x ring (33521092986, to be replaced by MTS ring 303202060).
• After fitting the MTS Street E39 Inox, have the wheel alignment checked, because camber and toe change as well.

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

The MTS Street E39 Inox combines stainless steel damper bodies, Eibach springs of 70 and 25-43 N/mm and up to 90 mm of lowering for the BMW E39.

Why choose the MTS Street E39 Inox?

With the MTS Street E39 Inox 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. If you also drive in winter or the car is parked outside, the Inox version pays for itself: stainless steel doesn’t rust, so the thread of the height adjustment doesn’t seize up. If you mainly drive in summer, the Gold version is a more affordable alternative. With the included camber plates you set the camber, which with a large lowering means less tyre wear and more grip.

Frequently asked questions

Does this kit also fit a four-wheel-drive (4×4) version?

No. The MTS Street E39 Inox is made for the rear-wheel-drive versions.

What is the difference between Street and Stance?

All versions use the same dampers; the difference lies in the Eibach springs and the lowering range: Street (70 and 25-43 N/mm) and Stance (90 and 25-43 N/mm). Street is the standard. Stance is the firmest and the lowest.

What is the difference between Gold and Inox?

Gold has steel damper bodies with a yellow zinc coating, Inox has stainless steel damper bodies. Inox is more resistant to road salt and moisture and therefore costs more. Otherwise, the kits are identical.

How long does delivery take?

The MTS Street E39 Inox is delivered within 4 to 7 working days as long as the manufacturer has stock.
