Product details
This Slide Kontrol Drift set is listed for the 2001 to 2005 BMW M3, the E46. Spring rates are 12 kg/mm up front and 9.8 kg/mm in the rear, and the application note identifies a true rear coilover. The 3 Series E46 range, including wagons, appears in the compatibility list as well.
Compared with the Kontrol Pro, damping is roughly 30 to 50 percent stiffer. That helps the car transition quickly, while the stiffer springs assist initiation. A 55 mm inverted shock holds extra oil, which the page ties to better cooling during sustained track sessions, and the steel lower mount is built for competitive loads.
Even a drift-focused kit can be gentle when needed. All 36 damping steps are selected with one knob per damper, and full soft is described as a comfortable cruising setting. Height comes from the adjustable lower mount, so you can lower the car without losing travel. Mounts are pillowball with camber adjustment up front. Expect four assembled coilovers, knobs and spanner wrenches in the box; lock every collar with both wrenches. Confirm which E46 you own with the year, make and model checker.
Supported features
36 levels of damping adjustment. Set damping to full soft for a comfortable cruising setting for normal driving.
Configured with roughly 30–50% stiffer shock damping than Kontrol Pro; stiffer spring rates assist initiation while drifting. Helper springs are included on some applications.
Inverted-type shocks use 55 mm bodies for added oil capacity and cooling efficiency, and perform better under sustained stress at track events.
MacPherson-strut applications use strengthened steel lower mounts for the loads of competitive drifting.
Many MacPherson applications have pillowball upper mounts with camber adjustability — helpful for alignment and removing the need for a separate camber kit.
Oil and gas stay separated within the cylinder for faster heat dissipation, finer damping adjustment, and consistent ride quality.

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.
