BMW 1 (ALL YEARS) Series (E81, E82, E87) MCA Pro Drag Suspension

MCA Suspension gives you the power to take control of your wheel travel range.

Say goodbye to any chance of wheel/tyre contact with body work, suspension arms hitting the chassis, etc, no matter how soft, or how low the ride height is and no matter how big of a bump you hit. This is controlled by correctly setting the operating lengths of the shockabsorbers, which is adjusted via the bottom mount position (not used for ride height adjustment like most other brands suggest).

MCA Suspension products come with the bottom mount positions preset to measurements determined by our own in-house testing, measurements and development.

This does remain adjustable though, so even if your vehicle is heavily modified in these areas, the wheel travel range can still be adjusted to suit your vehicle perfectly.

Height Adjustment 

All of our complete suspension setups come with vehicle ride height adjustment. Contrary to most other products around this price point, MCA Suspension products DO NOT use “Base Height Adjustment”.

This is because the “base height adjustment” method of initial design and height adjustment is extremely flawed, carries no logic and shows a pure lack of understanding of how suspension works.

Here at MCA Suspension our setups are far more thoroughly designed and therefore use the spring seat height adjustment method for ride height. This is the same system as used on top end suspension products.

Camber Washers are an MCA specific design/concept.

They provide accurate, reliable and secure camber adjustment via the bottom mount.

Not all vehicles are compatible with camber washers, but where possible our products come with camber washers included and fitted.

Not all vehicles are compatible with camber tops, but where possible our products come with camber tops included and fitted.

The benefit of camber tops is that they provide a simple and quick way of adjusting the camber.

This helps achieve optimum tyre wear and grip for various applications. 

Taking our previous internal sealing spec Baner Spec to the next level, Rugged Spec literally doubles down by overhauling the major sealing component designs to build in sealing redundancy.

Essentially this means the sealing points inside the dampers now have a backup resulting in the most durable dampers we’ve ever produced

Your suspension will be tested and tuned on our damper dyno during the assembly process, prior to being sent to you.

This helps provide a high level of quality control and guarantees an acceptable level of consistency between each damper, It can also help us create the custom valving that is sometimes required for our Red Series products. 

Our dampers come with a simple but powerful 12 clicks of damper adjustment between hard and soft settings.

The way the damper adjuster works is it controls the amount of oil that bypasses the valving system.

Setting the adjuster harder restricts oil flow making the damper firmer, while setting the adjuster softer allows the oil to flow easier which makes the damper softer.

Superior Monotube Design 

Regarding vehicle suspension, there are two types of dampers in the way that they operate internally.

Monotube and Twin-Tube. Twin-Tubes often are cheaper alternatives and don’t have the same potential as Monotubes (for example, most factory dampers and cheaper factory replacement dampers are twin tubes).

MCA Suspension only uses Monotube Suspension, as do all true high-end suspension brands.

The monotube design offers better cooling for the internal oil and stops oil and gas mixing, both of which make the suspension damper more consistent and last longer.

Assembled To Order In Australia

Assembled to order in Australia by our highly trained and specialised team.

All of our suspension setups have been designed in Australia by MCA Suspension.

Unlike many of our competitors, no copied setups or re-branded products here. 

Carrying on from the 2nd version of Fusion Valving, V3 offers increased comfort and a smoother ride with no reduction of outright performance potential.

On top of this, damper adjustment range has also been refined to provide a much wider usable range of adjustment.
