Product details
Kontrol Pro is the all-rounder in the KSport coilover line, and this one is specified for the 1999 to 2000 BMW M3. Front springs are 9 kg/mm and rears are 9.5 kg/mm, a nearly even split. Inside each body, a monotube high-pressure design keeps oil and gas separate; the page says that dissipates heat faster than twin-tube construction and allows finer damping adjustment.
Because every damper offers 36 levels, one setup can stretch from full soft for comfortable daily driving to a firm compression and rebound setting for the track. The pillowball upper mount on MacPherson fronts brings camber adjustment, and the page argues that removes the need for a separate camber kit. It also says the bearing design resists the noise common to other coilovers and sharpens steering feel.
Dust boots with integrated bump stops protect the damper seals. Mounts, collars and perches are 6061-T6 billet aluminum, and the steel bodies are zinc-plated. You receive four assembled coilovers, upper mounts, knobs and spanner wrenches. Begin 18 clicks counterclockwise from full stiff and always secure collars with both wrenches. E46 M3 and 3 Series years are also listed; verify fitment with the year, make and model checker.
Supported features
Every KSport coilover offers 36 levels of damping adjustment. Set full soft for comfortable daily driving, or firm up the compression and rebound for the track.
Applications with a pillowball upper mount often include camber adjustment — useful for dialing in alignment after lowering, and it removes the need for a separate camber kit.
Applications for MacPherson-strut suspension typically use a pillowball upper mount. The bearing design resists the noise common to other coilovers, and steering feel and response improve.
Most Kontrol Pro applications adjust ride height independently of shock and spring travel, so you can set your stance without risking bottoming out the shock.
Oil and gas stay separated within the cylinder. Compared with twin-tube construction, a monotube design dissipates heat faster and more evenly, allows finer damping adjustment, and resists aeration and cavitation.
Mounts, collars, and spring perches are machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum for a lightweight, durable, corrosion-resistant build. Steel shock bodies are zinc-plated for added protection from corrosion.
A dust boot is standard on every Kontrol Pro coilover to protect the damper seal, with the bump stop integrated inside it — more efficient, and less prone to crumbling than a separate bump stop.

Installation
Set ride height with the adjustable lower mount where the application has one; use the spring perch only where the application-specific layout has no adjustable lower mount. Lock every collar with both spanner wrenches. Start damping 18 clicks counterclockwise from full stiff and adjust from there. Professional setup and alignment are required after installation; on MacPherson fronts, establish baseline camber at the elongated lower-mount hole before fine adjustment at the upper plate.
