Below are some pics that were lost in the old thread. I will be updating all the pics in this thread as time allows.

Note: As I am working with STD to quickly develop and the coilovers for the BRZ, take good note of the front suspension of this M3 as there are similarities between the front set-up of the M3 to the new BRZ.

Below is the STD coilover install on a P.WRX member's BMW E46 M3. .

Camber adjustable Pillowball Upper Mounts are accurately manufactured and in the case of the M3, the top had to be offset precisely during manufacture, for accurate alignment setting.


Monotubes have patented scaling for accurate adjustments.


STD coilovers come with all mounts for Brake and ABS lines.


As the M3 has the sway bar linkages linked to the front strut, STD also provides stronger adjustable sway bar linkages to assist with height changes.


Rear Install:

The BMW M3 has an Independent Suspension Set-up. Below are pics of the Seperate STD Shock Monotube and Adjustable spring Platform (note: Patented scaling is also available on the rear monotube but difficult to see due to the angle of the picture taken):


STD Coilovers supplied, installed and aligned @Evolution R:


Finished Product:
