Spring Rate Options – Tuned by Nitron for the E9X M3
Nitron's recommended rates for the E9X platform strike a balance between road compliance and sharp, track-focused control. Choose from two configurations:
Fast Road Setup
-
Front: 120 N/mm
-
Rear (Divorced): 120 N/mm
-
Rear (True Coilover): 350 lbs/inch (≈62 N/mm*)
Track Setup
-
Front: 140 N/mm
-
Rear (Divorced): 140 N/mm
-
Rear (True Coilover): 400 lbs/inch (≈70 N/mm*)
True rear spring rates appear lower due to different mounting ratios and spring positions – overall stiffness is comparable.
Custom Options Available
Custom spring rates, lengths, and damper lengths can be specified. Contact us before ordering to tailor your R3 kit to your build.
Optional Quick-Connect Dry Break Fittings (+£895)
Upgrade to quick-connect dry break fittings to relocate the remote reservoirs into the engine bay or cabin without fluid loss – ideal for serious track use.
Benefits include:
-
Easier and faster access for adjustments

Protection from road debris and heat

Cleaner, motorsport-style installation
-
Improved consistency through thermal isolation
Highly recommended for trackday or race-focused builds. Contact us to add this option before ordering.
Race-Grade Construction and Materials
Nitron’s large-diameter pistons, monotube design, and high-pressure internals ensure damping consistency lap after lap. All components are built using lightweight, corrosion-resistant materials with titanium and hard-anodised finishes for long-term durability.
Bi-Axis Hose Fittings (Remote Reservoir Kits Only)
All remote reservoir kits feature Nitron’s Bi-Axis fittings, allowing flexible, secure routing of hoses during install. These reduce stress on fittings and simplify placement in tight engine bays or interiors.
