But it's limited stateside. I only know of one e90 on mpost that has one. But if you look at the hardware and assembly detail it looks to be a good setup. I think the rates they ship with are kind of soft for a track only setup.

One thing to know though is the Nitron rear is a true coilover so you will want to reinforce the rear shock towers if you go to high rates.
Thanks for the tip. The Moton rear is also a true coilover, but I'm not planning to go very stiff. How stiff can I go without reinforcing the rear shock towers? Moton has recommended 90 N/mm front spring rate and 120 N/mm rear. I thought this is quite stiff in the front and soft in the rear. I have to check this up, because the Öhlins R&T is 60 front and 120 rear.
