If you're a BMW enthusiast searching for top-notch damper technology, you've probably come across Koni-based kits. While these are decent options, the manufacturing tolerances, materials, and technology in these dampers are no match for the superior JRZ RS line. These coilover kits are perfect for performance-oriented drivers who value exceptional quality.
The JRZ RS series is available for a comprehensive list of early and late model BMW chassis and represents the latest technology developed directly from professional racing. The handling performance and ride quality of the RS series are outstanding, even with lower ride heights, higher spring rates, and aggressive driving. Unlike typical mass-produced shocks, the chassis remains more composed, even on rough pavement and your favorite roads.
The JRZ RS Dampers offer ride quality that is often more comfortable than OEM on the street, even on their softest settings. With a turn of a knob, you can also achieve extremely fast and consistent lap times, making them perfect for the track. Adjusting the suspension stiffer for smoother, higher-grip surfaces results in the sharp and athletic response expected from a true track day car. No other suspension system offers this level of adjustment to such a high degree as the RS series.
The RS line comes in three models: RS1, RS2, and RS-Pro:
- The RS1 features one adjuster with dual compression and rebound.
- The RS2 is a two-way solution that is dominant in BMW club racing, with independent compression and rebound.
- The RS-Pro is also a two-way solution with independent compression and rebound, but comes with an external reservoir that provides added heat dissipation and reserve.
The RS-Pro offers a very wide range of adjustment, making it suitable for performance street rates and tires or stiff race-springs and R-compounds. These high-rigidity, motorsport-derived dampers deliver exceptional body control for any street scenario or lap after lap of punishment. The RS-Pro is a favorite of exotic car enthusiasts and can be found on Porsches, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris raced and driven hard by real enthusiasts, yet still keeping excellent street composure.
