In the previous blog post we focused on the BMW 5 series. This time we stay with this model, but we are radically changing the era, focusing on the car that was the first to be called “5 series”.
The BMW 5 Series has a long history. The first generation was the E12. An elegant limousine with a sporty twist. Rear-wheel drive and shark-era front end. This resulted in a car that can be enjoyed to this day. And many of its users still want to enjoy dynamic driving. We have prepared a 60708015 coilover set for them.
Four threaded struts covered with a double gold zinc layer are equipped with springs manufactured by Eibach. The lowering can be easily adjusted to your liking thanks to the hexaCOIL nuts. And its range is considerable – even -100mm for the front axle and as much as 140mm for the rear axle.
Typical ofor BMWs from decades ago, the 60708015 suspension is a weld-in kit. In addition to the brackets to be welded to the knuckle, this is also related to the camber of the front axle. In this set it is already a Evolution2 camber, delivered together with a spring cap with bearing.
The E12 with the coilover suspension installed retains all its basic characteristics. Skilfully combines the dignity of a car that is several decades old with a touch of sportiness typical of the brand.
