Nitron elec-TRON R1 Coilover Kit – BMW F87 M2 / M2 Competition
Nitron elec-TRON R1 for BMW F87 M2 / M2 Competition combines the R1 platform with proportional-solenoid electronic damping control at each wheel. Compression and rebound are controlled electronically in real time.
The valve operates across a 300–1800 mA range with a 6–8 millisecond response time. The elec-TRON R1 shares core technology with Nitron's R3 platform and is built for the BMW application with model-specific spring rates and damper valving.

Application notes
F87 M2 and M2 Competition require Nitron's standalone electronic control solution / DCU. The M2 CS has factory electronic damping and can use OEM EDC integration.
Ordering and specification
Specification: before the kit is built we will normally confirm how the car is used, tyre choice, ride height and any relevant supporting modifications, then finalise the spring and damper specification with Nitron.
Why Swift Performance?
Swift Performance works directly with Nitron as a BMW development partner. Nitron's standalone F87 elec-TRON control system was developed and tested using our own F87 M2, giving us first-hand experience of the dampers, controller, installation and commissioning on this platform.
We can confirm the correct control hardware and final specification before the system is built, supply it for delivery, or install and commission it in-house with ride-height setup, four-wheel alignment and an appropriate baseline setup.
Frequently asked questions
How does elec-TRON control damping?
A proportional solenoid valve on each damper controls damping electronically at each wheel.
What does the system respond to?
The system can respond to inputs including G-force, vehicle speed, road surface and driver inputs.
Can Swift Performance fit and commission the system?
Yes. We can install the suspension and electronic control hardware, then complete the ride-height and alignment setup.
