Nitron R3 with Front Axle Lift – BMW F87 M2 / M2 Competition
Nitron R3 with Front Axle Lift for BMW F87 M2 / M2 Competition combines Nitron's 3-way R3 platform with its hydraulic front lift system. Rebound, low-speed compression and high-speed compression are adjusted independently.
The FAL system raises the front axle by 25 mm at the shock, while the R3 uses a large-diameter piston design, high-strength piston rods and external reservoirs for consistent damping under hard use.

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 and has first-hand experience installing Nitron Front Axle Lift systems on BMW M cars. We understand both the suspension setup and the additional hydraulic hardware, including pump, line and control installation.
We can confirm the correct specification before the kit is built, supply it for delivery, or install and commission the complete system in-house with ride height, four-wheel alignment and a baseline damper setup where applicable.
