This is the Stance+ Proline. The top of the Stance+ coilover range, built for drivers who want extreme lowering without giving up ride quality. The BMW 1 Series (E81) 3 Door Hatchback kit delivers up to 75mm of drop on most applications, using a base-adjustable design that maintains 100% damper travel at every ride height.
The base-adjustable design is what sets the Proline apart from conventional coilovers. On a standard kit, lowering is achieved by moving the spring seat down the shock body, which eventually limits damper travel and compromises ride quality. The Proline works differently. The front strut physically shortens or lengthens as a whole unit, meaning the piston rod always has its full range of travel regardless of ride height. You get the extreme drop without the ride quality penalty. Adjustment can be made with the kit still fitted to the vehicle.
Gas-assisted, oil-filled dampers with FUCH damper oil and NOK oil seals give the Proline a refined, progressive damping response uprated approximately 25-30% over factory spec. The result is less body roll, crisper steering response, and a more planted, predictable feel through corners. Powder coated damper bodies resist corrosion, and chrome silicon springs shot-peened for strength and powder-coated black are built to last.
Fixed damping is set at around 25-30% above factory specification, tuned to suit the specific weight and geometry of your BMW 1 Series (E81) 3 Door Hatchback. It's a firm, capable setup that strikes the right balance between handling performance and day-to-day usability.
The Proline's base-adjustable design gives your BMW 1 Series (E81) 3 Door Hatchback up to 75mm of drop while keeping 100% damper travel intact, so the suspension system can do its job properly at any ride height.
The kit uses your OE top mounts and bearings. New ones are always worth fitting at the same time. Before installation, copper grease all threaded components. Fitting must be carried out by a qualified technician, with a full alignment reset afterwards. Drop links are included where needed. Backed by a 2-year Stance+ warranty.
