Silvers Suspension NEOMAX 2-Way Suspension for BMW E46 3 Series L4 1998-2006
$2199.00

Hey there! If you're on the hunt for coilovers that can handle both your daily drives and those weekend track days, let me tell you about the Silver's NEOMAX Coilovers. These bad boys are designed to give you the best of both worlds—smooth enough for the streets but tough enough to perform when the rubber meets the road.

First off, these are monotube shocks, which means they’ve got a solid design that helps with heat dissipation and overall performance. You can adjust the height independently, so whether you want to drop your ride or raise it up a bit, you’ve got options. Plus, with 24 levels of dampening adjustment, you can really dial in the feel to match your driving style. You’ll actually feel the difference with each click, which is pretty cool.

  • One of the neat features is the adjustable T6 6061 front camber plates that come standard on all McPherson-style setups. This gives you some flexibility to fine-tune your alignment.
  • They also use Koyo Japan Radial Bearings for the upper spring perch, which helps eliminate any spring bind or noise—trust me, you’ll appreciate the improved feedback while driving.
  • The high-strength carbon steel used in the 52mm diameter seamless shock tube is no joke. It’s tough and designed to last.
  • With a 44mm piston and digressive valving, you get a sweet balance between comfort and performance. Low-speed damping is spot on, so you won’t feel every bump in the road.
  • The mono-tube design means more oil capacity, which translates to better performance compared to twin-tube setups.
  • They use high viscosity damper oil, which keeps everything running smoothly and consistently—no surprises here.
  • Height adjustment is done through the lower bracket, which means you don’t have to mess with the spring perch or preload. More travel, less hassle.
  • The springs are cold-bent from high-strength SAE9254 steel, keeping everything stable over time.
  • Installation is a breeze, thanks to powder-coated steel brackets that match up perfectly with your factory brake lines and ABS wires.
  • And for those with multi-link setups, the anodized T6 6061 aluminum lower mounts help reduce unsprung weight, which is a nice touch.
  • Plus, you get an 18-month limited manufacturer’s warranty, so you can buy with confidence.
  • Default spring rates are set at 8k in the front and 6k in the rear, giving you a solid balance for performance and comfort.

Fitment: These coilovers are specifically made for the BMW E46 3 Series L4 True Rear (1998-2006). So, if you’re rolling in a 316i from 1999 to 2006, these are the ones you want.

Overall, if you’re serious about your driving experience and want something that can adapt to both everyday use and spirited driving, the Silver's NEOMAX Coilovers are a solid choice. They’ve got the features and build quality to back it up, and you’ll definitely notice the difference behind the wheel.

About Silver’s Suspension

Silver’s Suspension was founded back in 1999 by a racer that was growing tired of the lack of quality suspension products on the market. After years of racing time attack and constantly changing suspension setups, it became evident that they all had major flaws and there was not a single high-quality performance suspension available. After a number of trials and tribulations, Silver’s Suspension was born and a breath of fresh air in the automotive space. The company combines its passion for racing and knowledge of the industry to deliver suspension products that are second to none. 

Since its inception more than 20 years ago, Silver’s Suspension has grown into a leading global manufacturer focused on top-quality performance suspension solutions at affordable prices. Silver’s understands that money is hard-earned and sets out to provide consumers with the best performance for their dollar without drilling holes in wallets. The brand was started with the mindset that “performance comes first,” and it stays true to that principle to this day. Every single Silver’s kit is designed with an equal focus on track performance and reliability.

Silver’s Suspension Mission

Silver’s Suspension strives to bring its customers the best-performing suspension systems on the market at affordable prices. Every individual part of Silver’s coilovers is manufactured in the company’s 36,000 square-foot state-of-the-art facility. All Silver’s Suspension kits are hand-assembled and every single shock is put on the dyno to ensure it is within the 5 percent variation of what the company allows to pass. This variation is actually much lower than most other manufacturers and there is no spot-checking. Conducting all processes in house allows Silver’s Suspension to keep an eye on every step and ensure that it delivers only the best quality possible.  

The brand’s strength lies in its extensive R&D for new products, as well as in sparing no effort in rigorous street and race track tests. This provides Silver’s Suspension with the necessary data to manufacture only the best performance parts. With more than two decades of professional manufacturing under its belt, Silver’s not only uses the latest technology on its products, but also puts them to the ultimate tests on brutal tracks to guarantee top-level performance. To this day, Silver’s Suspension leads the way with competitively priced, top-rated coilovers for a wide range of makes and models.
