Details
For those who want their BMW 1 Series (E88) Convertible sitting as low as it can possibly go without compromise, the Stance+ Proline is the answer. Up to 75mm of drop on most applications, base-adjustable front struts for full damper travel at any height, and fixed uprated damping throughout.
What makes the Proline different is how it achieves its extreme lowering. Conventional coilover kits move the spring seat to lower the car, which reduces damper travel at lower ride heights and can lead to a harsher, more compromised ride. The Proline takes a different approach: the front strut body itself is adjustable in length, shortening or lengthening to set the ride height while always keeping 100% piston rod travel. You can run it seriously low and still have the full damper stroke working for you.
On the road, the performance improvement over factory suspension is significant. Gas-assisted, oil-filled FUCH dampers are set approximately 25-30% stiffer than standard, delivering flatter cornering, sharper turn-in, and noticeably better body control. NOK oil seals throughout ensure long-term durability, and the powder coated damper bodies are built to handle whatever the British weather throws at them.
This kit runs fixed uprated damping, set at approximately 25-30% stiffer than standard. It's a firm, sporty setup tuned specifically for your BMW 1 Series (E88) Convertible to deliver the best balance of performance and road comfort at extreme ride heights.
Lower the car properly. The Proline kit for the BMW 1 Series (E88) Convertible pushes further than most coilover kits dare, with base-adjustable front struts maintaining 100% damper travel even at extreme drops.
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.
