32-Way Adjustable Damping:
The Neomax series features 32-way adjustable damping that allows you to fine-tune both compression and rebound independently. This level of adjustability lets you dial in the perfect setup for your driving style - from comfortable daily driving to aggressive track use. The adjustment range is wide enough to accommodate any preference while maintaining excellent ride quality.
Independent Height Adjustment:
Silver's independent height adjustment system allows you to change ride height without affecting spring preload or damping characteristics. This means you can lower your E46 M3 for improved stance and handling while maintaining optimal suspension geometry and ride quality. The adjustment range typically allows 1-3 inches of lowering depending on the vehicle.
Pillow Ball Top Mounts:
Pillow ball top mounts replace the factory rubber mounts, providing improved steering response and feedback. The pillow ball design eliminates the compliance of rubber mounts, resulting in sharper turn-in and more direct steering feel. The mounts are rebuildable and designed for long-term durability.
Camber Plates (Where Applicable):
Camber plates are included where applicable, allowing you to adjust front camber for improved handling and tire wear. This is especially useful when lowering the vehicle, as it allows you to correct camber angles and optimize tire contact patch. The camber plates provide a wide range of adjustment for various setups.
Corrosion-Resistant Construction:
All Silver's Neomax coilovers feature corrosion-resistant coating on the shock bodies and springs. This ensures long-term durability even in harsh climates with road salt and moisture. The coating is applied using advanced processes that provide superior protection compared to basic powder coating.
Why Silver's Neomax?
Silver's has been manufacturing premium coilovers for Japanese and European vehicles for decades. The Neomax series represents their commitment to combining advanced features with excellent ride quality. The 32-way damping adjustment and premium construction provide performance that rivals coilovers costing significantly more.
OEM Rear Suspension - Important:
CRITICAL: This coilover kit is designed specifically for E46 M3 models with OEM (factory) rear suspension. It will NOT fit E46 M3 models with CSL rear suspension or aftermarket rear suspension setups due to different mounting points and geometry. Before purchasing, verify that your M3 has the factory OEM rear suspension. Most E46 M3 models have OEM rear suspension unless specifically modified.
