The ST XTA plus 3 coilover suspension significantly improves both the driving dynamics and handling of any vehicle. This is also the case with sporty mid-range models such as the BMW M3 Sedan and the BMW M4 Coupe. Responsible for the performance gain are the KW dampers, which are independently adjustable in the ST XTA plus 3 in the low-speed compression stage, high-speed compression stage and low-speed rebound stage. This coilover suspension also features adjustable unibal top mounts on the front axle strut and racing springs. The ST XTA plus 3 also allows maximum lowering. According to the parts certificate, the M3 sedan (F80) and the M4 coupe (F82) can be lowered continuously between 15 and 40 millimeters on both axles. Optionally, the ST XTA plus 3 coilover suspension can also be ordered individually in terms of spring coating, spring labeling, and soon ST suspensions also plan to offer different spring packages with different spring rates.

An increasing number of ST suspension components are now available for the BMW M3 Sedan (F80) built from 2014 to 2018 and the BMW M4 Coupé (F82) built from 2014 to 2020. There is now also the ST XTA plus 3 coilover suspension on top of the ST height adjustable springs, ST wheel spacers, and the ST XTA coilover suspension with adjustable rebound. Compared to the other ST coilovers, the ST XTA plus 3 allows the preset damper setup to be individually adjusted in various parameters in just a few steps. Because of the wide range of separately
adjustable compression and rebound damping, the ST coilover suspension
allows almost any setup required road suspension setup. With 24 clicks
each, the low-speed and high-speed compression stage forces can be
adjusted. The low-speed rebound stage can be set with 16 clicks. The
adjustable rebound damping influences, among other things, how quickly the
chassis rebounds when the suspension is compressed during load changes.
Together with the spring rate of the suspension spring, the compression
damping influences the immersion speed of the piston rod in the damper. In
addition, the compression damping also affects the body's pitching and
rolling movements as well as its turn-in behavior. In the case of
performance suspensions such as the ST XTA plus 3 coilover suspension, the
specifications Low-speed and Highspeed refer to the speed of movement of
the piston rod when immersing and retracting. Slow piston rod movements
are typical steering maneuvers and, for example, braking before corners,
while fast piston rod movements are caused by road irregularities due to
bumps and transverse joints in the road surface. On the BMW M3 (F80) and
BMW M4 (F82), support mounts on the front axle struts are an integral part
of the scope of delivery. They make the steering even more precise than
with normal strut mounts using rubber-metal elements. In addition, the ST
strut mounts can also be used to adjust the wheel camber. |
