The TL-PRO is Thunder Lane US’s flagship true 3-way adjustable coilover system for the BMW E46, built for serious track use — time attack, hill climb, road racing, autocross, and HPDE. Every set is hand-assembled to order and bespoke-valved to match your goals.
Included with every order: CVP + PVP dyno graphs, build-to-order spring rate selection, and damping tuned for repeatable performance.
True 3-Way Adjustable Damping
Separate circuits for rebound, low-speed compression, and high-speed compression let you tune platform support, curb compliance, and braking stability without compromise.
Remote Reservoirs & Track-Friendly Packaging
Remote reservoirs with quick disconnects for true 3-way tuning and consistent damping.
Inverted Monotube Damper Design
TL-ONE for the BMW E46 features inverted front struts and inverted rear shocks. This design increases rigidity under load, improves durability, and delivers more consistent damping behavior during aggressive driving.
Built to Order — Tuned to Your BMW
We build each kit per order in Poland, selecting valving, spring rates, and hardware around your tire, aero, weight, and intended use. Want more support under aero load? More compliance over rough surfaces? We’ll tune for it.
Damping Philosophy & Check Valve Design
TL dampers utilize an internal check valve design to improve response and consistency across long sessions. The goal is a damper that communicates clearly at the limit and stays stable as temperatures rise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is TL-PRO rebuildable and serviceable?
Yes — TL-PRO dampers are fully rebuildable, with replacement parts available.
Do you include dyno graphs?
Yes. Every kit includes CVP + PVP dyno graphs.
Can you help me choose spring rates and valving?
Yes — spring rates, valving profile, top mounts, and reservoir hose length are selected during the build-to-order process.
What’s the benefit of 3-way adjustability?
It allows you to tune chassis support (low-speed), impact/curb compliance (high-speed), and rebound control independently — extremely useful as grip and aero evolve.
We build every suspension set to order and want you to know exactly what to expect from checkout to delivery.
Build Lead Time (Made-to-Order)
Due to high demand and a recent increase in new orders and rebuilds, all orders currently require a 3–4 week lead time to machine hardware and complete assembly.
Every set is built 100% in-house in Kraków, Poland—no outsourced assembly, no pre-built inventory.
Shipping Time to the United States
Once your order is complete and ready to dispatch, typical shipping time to the U.S. is 5–10 business days.
Transit time can vary slightly depending on carrier, customs processing, and your location.
