The BimmerWorld View: Remote Reservoir dampers for the E46 are a premium coilover shock with tremendous capability for performance, comfort, and durability. Remote systems have higher thresholds for abuse and more adjustments than premium Non-Remote dampers. A Remote system can be used at any level and experience - from improving ride quality on street to the highest level of professional motorsport. Remotes have immense versatility, compatible with a wide range of spring rates, and may be the last damper set you ever buy.

While a Non-Remote receives many of the same components and design as a Remote, there are still advantages when moving to a Remote system. Remote reservoir shocks separate the compression and rebound damping into two cylinders - rebound in the main shock body and compression in the remote canister. A Remote system is like having two monotube shocks and nearly double the oil and gas capacity. At its core, the increased capacity allows the damper to perform across a broader performance spectrum. A Non-Remote has a smaller defined range where it's optimal and a Remote simply expands the range making it more adaptable and more capable. Whereas any Non-Remote can be working too hard and lead to overheating and loss of pressure, the Remote is still working within its limits.

The Remote dampers are also well-suited for an impressive range of spring rates. We've run Remotes on the street with "sport" rates, upgraded to MCS from other coilover brands without changing springs, and even made big jumps in spring rate, all without having to re-valve the shocks. The damping rates have been plotted to be distinct and useful, not just an X% change from the clicks around it. The Nitrogen pressure inside the reservoir can also be varied from 100-275 PSI - higher pressures can support cars with high downforce so you can run a softer spring than usual.

2-Way / Double Adjustable. Rebound (18 clicks) and Compression (18 clicks). MCS 2W are incredibly versatile with truly unique damping rates. The 2W is an excellent starting point that is tame enough to use on the street and is compatible with a wide range of spring rates. Expect a 2WR to have a higher threshold for heat absorption and performance for longer stints than a 2WNR - a great option for everyday use on bumpy streets as well as endurance racers who need more headroom than a Non Remote
