New Hot bits coil overs for the E34

Here they are. Speedworks got my Hot Bits made in about 2 weeks. Basically, like before, it requires the factory Front E34 struts to be mated to the Hot Bits coilovers. I’ve gone the damping adjustable route this time, coupled with external oil canister for the rears. It’s unfortunate that the fronts couldn’t accommodate the canisters due to space and E34 Strut design constraints. But I may have it made in the future and have the front canisters piped into the engine bay, if it’s not too far.

The rear unit with the canister as shown. Compared to my previous Titan coil overs, the Hot bits looks much better built, has better aesthetics and includes the little little details like polyurethene spring shims, anodized spring perches and so on. Much better thought of i’d say and has probably seen lots of technical improvments through the years.

A trolley for each client. What a rare and pleasent experience. A definite must for all workshops here in Malaysia. As you can see, that’s a new rear suspension top mount. I’ve also had new front top mounts ordered. Hot Bits also makes camber adjustable front top mounts, but that’ll be for another day.

  3. hi J-J

    I find that hotbits is targeted at being comfortable. not to so much on handling and performance.

    you can get whatever drop you want with any coilovers.
    it costs me about RM6000 to date.. with damping adjustability and another set of firmer springs.
