Front axle lift: what this version adds

The standalone lift package is specified with lift cylinders, hydraulic lines, a pump, wiring loom and controller. The supplied application data states 25 mm lift at the shock. Vehicle ground-clearance change depends on the suspension geometry; it should not be presented as a guaranteed 25 mm rise at the bumper.

FAL assists with low-speed obstacle clearance. It does not make an unsuitable ride height, wheel clearance or suspension travel acceptable. Check hydraulic routing, component placement and clearance through suspension movement during installation.

How to choose the setup

Choose the spring package around tire grip, track frequency and the intended ride quality. FRS means Fast Road Specification; TDS means Track Day Specification. These are spring/build choices, not electronic driving modes. The supplier base part number alone does not capture every ordered configuration.

Coilover or divorced rear springs

A divorced rear arrangement keeps the spring separate from the damper. A rear coilover places the spring around the damper. Select the intended rear layout in the options; it is an installation choice rather than a cosmetic preference. Have the installer check the load path, mounts, spring clearance and travel for the selected arrangement.

Installation and ordering

Provide the model year, chassis, factory suspension equipment and intended use when specifying the order. Have the installer verify the mounts, usable travel, wheel clearance and any required electronic hardware. Confirm lead time for the selected configuration; catalog availability is not a promise of immediate dispatch.

Product FAQs

Is this a complete elec-TRON kit or a standalone lift upgrade?

This listing is a suspension package with front axle lift. It is separate from the suspension-only listing and should not be ordered as a universal add-on for existing dampers.

Does front axle lift determine my normal driving height?

Choose the normal suspension height and alignment as part of the chassis setup. Temporary obstacle clearance is a separate requirement; establish the usable lift for the installed vehicle.

Will the BMW F80 M3 use its original damping controls?

This kit is compatible with the BMW EDC system, with no additional products required for EDC integration. The vehicle must have factory EDC.

What is adjusted manually on elec-TRON R3?

The ER3 specification combines electronic damping control with independent manual high- and low-speed compression settings.

What space should be planned for the FAL installation?

Review the pump, reservoir, hose and electrical routing locations with the installer before the work is scheduled.
