Description
Nitron NTR R3 3-Way Coilovers for BMW M2 F87 N55
The Nitron NTR R3 suspension kit for BMW M2 F87 is the more adjustment-intensive option for a developed fast-road, track-day or motorsport chassis. It gives a setup specialist independent control of the key damping circuits instead of linking bump and rebound through one adjuster.
Independent 3-way damping control
Nitron R3 separates rebound, low-speed compression and high-speed compression. The compression controls are located on a reservoir, which may be piggyback or remotely mounted depending on the application. This extra adjustment is useful when the car's tyres, geometry, spring rates and circuit use justify methodical damper tuning.
- Rebound adjustment for wheel return and body-motion control
- Low-speed compression adjustment for chassis motions such as pitch, roll and weight transfer
- High-speed compression adjustment for faster damper-shaft events such as sharp bumps and kerb strikes
- Custom-built and sprung for the vehicle application
- Fully serviceable construction
More adjusters are only useful when they are used deliberately. Nitron recommends making setup changes methodically rather than altering multiple controls at once.
BMW F87 M2 application
This listing targets the original N55-powered BMW M2 F87. It is not the dedicated M2 Competition product. For the S55 Competition, see the Nitron NTR R3 M2 Competition kit.
R3 or R1?
Choose the adjustment architecture that matches how the car will actually be set up. For many road and track-day cars, the combined adjustment of Nitron NTR R1 is easier to develop consistently. R3 makes more sense when independent compression and rebound tuning is part of the setup process.
Supporting F87 suspension setup
Use the dampers with a measured alignment and suitable geometry hardware. Explore the BMW F87 M2 suspension collection, the Nitron F87 suspension hub and Nitron adjustable drop links.

Nitron FAQ's
Here's some frequently asked questions about Nitron Suspension
Which Nitron suspension kit is best for road use?
For most road and fast road cars, we’d usually look at the Nitron RoadSport or NTR R1 kits. The RoadSport kit is designed to balance performance, comfort and reliability, while still keeping ride quality sensible for daily driving. The NTR R1 is a step up if you want more adjustment and a more focused road/track setup.
What is the difference between Nitron RoadSport, R1 and R3 coilovers?
The Nitron RoadSport kit is the most road-focused option, using OE top mounts and following the OE rear suspension type, making it a good choice for comfort and everyday use. The NTR R1 gives you easy-to-use 2-way combined damping control and is built for strong road and track performance. The NTR R3 is the more serious option, with independent 3-way damping adjustment, giving separate control of rebound, high-speed compression and low-speed compression for drivers who want to fine-tune the car properly.
Are Nitron coilovers suitable for track use?
Yes, Nitron suspension is very well suited to track use, but the right kit depends on how serious the car is. The NTR R1 is a strong option for fast road and track day use, while the NTR R3 is better suited to more focused builds where you want a larger range of adjustment and more detailed control over the car’s behaviour.
Are Nitron coilovers rebuildable or serviceable?
Yes, one of the big benefits of Nitron suspension is that the shocks are designed to be fully serviceable. Nitron state that their modular shock design allows products to be serviced, with critical components, fluids, gas, seals and bushes replaced to return the product to an “as new” technical condition.
What does Nitron R3 adjustment actually do?
Nitron R3 coilovers give independent 3-way damping adjustment. That means you can adjust rebound separately from high-speed and low-speed compression. In simple terms, it gives much more control over how the car reacts under braking, cornering, kerb strikes, bumps and weight transfer. For most normal road cars it may be more than needed, but for track-focused cars it’s a proper step up.
Do Nitron coilovers need setting up after fitting?
Yes, definitely. Nitron suspension should be installed properly, and after fitting we’d always recommend setting ride height sensibly, checking preload where applicable and carrying out a full alignment. For more serious road and track cars, corner weighting and proper geometry setup are well worth doing so you actually get the benefit from the suspension rather than just fitting it and leaving it.
What is the difference between a divorced rear and a true rear coilover setup?
On some vehicles, the factory rear suspension uses a divorced layout, where the spring and damper are mounted separately. A true rear coilover setup moves the spring onto the damper body, creating a coilover-style rear arrangement. The best option depends on the vehicle, how it’s used and what the suspension kit is designed for. For most road and fast road builds, we’d normally stick with the layout recommended by Nitron for that specific application.
Should I choose a divorced rear or true rear coilover setup?
If the car is mainly used on the road, a divorced rear setup is often the more suitable choice, especially where it follows the original suspension design. A true rear coilover setup can offer more adjustment and can be useful on certain track-focused builds, but it is not always the best option for every car. We’d always recommend choosing the correct Nitron kit for the vehicle rather than assuming true rear is automatically better.
