Nitron NTR R1 Coilovers for BMW M2 Competition F87
The Nitron NTR R1 for the BMW M2 Competition F87 is a high-end adjustable suspension package for the S55-powered M2 Competition. It is listed separately from the original N55 F87 M2 so buyers can select by the actual chassis and application rather than assuming every F87 kit is identical.
What the Nitron R1 system does
R1 uses one combined damping adjuster that changes compression and rebound together. Nitron's automotive R1 architecture is designed to provide effective setup control without the remote reservoirs and three independent damping circuits used by R3. Each kit is built for its application, sprung accordingly and fully serviceable.
- Combined 2-way damping control for quick setup changes
- Application-specific build rather than a universal coilover
- Fully serviceable dampers for long-term ownership
- Road and track capability when specified and aligned for the intended use
M2 Competition fitment
This product is for the BMW F87 M2 Competition. The live listing currently has one suspension variant, so no additional spring-rate or rear-layout choice is being implied here. If you require a specific spring specification or rear configuration, confirm the current Nitron build specification before ordering.
For the original N55-powered F87 M2, use the separate Nitron NTR R1 F87 M2 product.
Nitron R1 vs R3 on the M2 Competition
R1 suits owners who want a serious adjustable damper with a simpler setup workflow. R3 is the step up when independent rebound, low-speed compression and high-speed compression adjustment will be used as part of a developed track setup. Compare the Nitron NTR R3 M2 Competition kit.
Geometry matters after fitting
Coilovers change more than ride height. Final performance depends on alignment, tyre choice, spring specification and the condition of the rest of the suspension. Browse the dedicated Nitron F87 M2 / M2 Competition collection and the wider Nitron Racing range.

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.
