Ultimate Suspension Control for Road and Track
The Nitron NTR R3 Coilover Kit is a motorsport-developed suspension upgrade for the BMW F87 M2 Competition and M2 CS, designed for drivers who want maximum damping control, detailed setup flexibility and consistent performance under sustained load. Built for serious fast road, track day and competition use, the NTR R3 gives the F87 chassis a significant improvement in grip, composure and driver feedback.
The system offers fully independent 3-way damping adjustment, with separate control of rebound, fast compression and slow compression. This allows the suspension to be fine-tuned around tyre choice, circuit conditions, road surface and driver preference, giving greater control over braking stability, kerb response, corner entry, mid-corner balance and overall ride quality.
The kit is available with either external piggyback or remote reservoir configuration depending on specification. Remote reservoir kits include Bi-Axis hose fittings for flexible and secure hose routing, while optional quick-connect dry break fittings allow the reservoirs to be relocated into the cabin or engine bay without fluid loss. This is especially useful for serious track and competition cars where fast adjustment access, protection and thermal isolation are important.
For the F87 M2 Competition and M2 CS, the NTR R3 can be specified in either True Rear or Divorced Rear configuration. The True Rear setup combines the spring and damper into one coilover unit for reduced weight, sharper response and greater setup flexibility, while the Divorced Rear option retains the factory-style separate spring and damper layout.
Nitron supplies the kit with carefully selected Fast Road or Track spring rate options. The Fast Road setup is ideal for spirited road driving with occasional track use, while the Track setup offers increased stiffness, reduced body roll and improved stability during repeated circuit driving. Custom spring rates, spring lengths and damper lengths are also available on request for more focused builds.
Built around a high-performance monotube damper design, large-diameter pistons, a high-pressure nitrogen chamber and corrosion-resistant alloy components with hard-anodised and titanium finishes, the NTR R3 is engineered for fade-resistant damping, durability and long-term serviceability. Each kit is hand-built to order by Nitron in the UK and is fully serviceable and rebuildable for long-term performance ownership.
This kit is suitable for BMW F87 M2 Competition and M2 CS models produced from 2018-2021 only and is not suitable for the earlier BMW F87 M2 non-Competition.
