H&R has released a set of RSS+ coilovers for the Audi R8 that includes Mono-tube shock design for precise control, high-tech lightweight aluminum threaded shock bodies, and external shock damping. Clad in a black hard-anodized finish for good looks and corrosion resistance, they feature damping adjustments that simultaneously fine-tunes rebound and compression damping for optimum balance and control. Special lightweight H&R HF ID race springs contribute to reduce the unsprung weight and further enhance performance. The kit is height adjustable, allowing lowered ride height by approximately 0.30 to 0.75 inches in the front and 0.75 to 1.3 inches in the rear. And as with all H&R components, these coilovers are 100 percent made in Germany under ISO 9001 quality assurance standards.

PowerflexUSA has recently released a full line of polyurethane suspension bushings for the latest E9X 3 Series and E8X 1 Series BMWs. They are resistant to wear and can replace fallible rubber units that can be prone to failure. Poly bushings also offer a higher level of performance than factory rubber bushings, without the added noise, vibration and harshness of excessively hard "track only" performance parts. Bushings are available to replace all factory rubber locations. Other European applications are available. Made in the UK, and available for BMW applications in the USA through Bimmerworld.
