YSR Pro Plus Racing 3-Way Coilovers BMW 1-Series E81 07-12 Hatchback 3-Door

YSR Pro Plus Racing 3-Way Coilovers for BMW 1-Series E81 (2007-2012) – 3-Way Adjustable Track Coilovers with External Reservoirs

Yellow Speed Racing Pro Plus Racing 3-Way coilovers for the BMW 1-Series E81 (2007-2012). They are built for track events and competition, for drivers who want fine control over how the car is damped. This listing is for the Hatchback 3-Door version.

Low-speed compression, high-speed compression and rebound are each adjusted independently, and full-length ride height adjustment lets you set the height without changing spring preload or damper travel.

External reservoirs, either hose-mounted or piggyback depending on the car, add oil capacity so the dampers stay cool and consistent through long sessions. Reservoir canisters are high-grade steel or aluminium alloy with an anodised 7075 alloy base, and the damper bodies are electroplated to resist corrosion.

Fitment

• BMW 1-Series E81 (2007-2012) – Hatchback 3-Door
• For 3-door hatchback models. The rear mounts must be tightened to 110Nm with a torque wrench. Fronts come with dry break for 3-way.

Not suitable for: models or versions not listed above. Other Pro Plus Racing versions for this car: YSR Pro Plus Racing 2-Way Coilovers BMW 1-Series E81 07-12 Hatchback 3-Door.

Installation

The coilovers replace the standard dampers and springs. Set the ride height and spring preload, let the suspension settle, then recheck the height and have a four-wheel alignment carried out. We recommend professional fitting.

Please note: Pillow ball upper mounts make a small amount of noise. This is normal and does not affect performance or safety. Yellow Speed Racing also offer hardened rubber upper mounts (R/U) for quieter running. Tighten the rear lower mount nuts to 110Nm with a torque wrench.

How is the damping adjusted?

Low-speed compression, high-speed compression and rebound each have their own adjuster.

What is the difference between the 2-way and 3-way?

The 2-way adjusts compression and rebound separately. The 3-way splits compression into low-speed and high-speed, giving finer control for track use.

Where does the reservoir go?

Depending on the car, the reservoir is either piggyback mounted on the damper or connected by hose so it can be mounted in a suitable place, such as the engine bay.

Can I adjust the ride height without changing preload?

Yes. Full-length adjustment lets you set the ride height independently of spring preload.

Will the pillow ball mounts be noisy?

They make a small amount of noise, which is normal. Hardened rubber upper mounts (R/U) are available for quieter running.

Do I need a wheel alignment after fitting?

Yes. Changing the ride height alters the suspension geometry, so a four-wheel alignment should be carried out once the car has settled.

What warranty is included?

Yellow Speed Racing cover Pro Plus Racing coilovers with a 3 month limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
