Such a chassis has a springy element with a thread that allows continuous height adjustment. This provides maximum adaptability and allows you to align the car exactly as you wish. A BILSTEIN coilover kit specifically for the BMW E46 is not only used for visual personalization, the driving experience also benefits.
