The BC Racing BR-Series coilover suspension kit offers an excellent combination of adjustability, performance, and durability for both street and track use. The monotube design and high-capacity shock absorber ensure consistent and reliable damping even under heavy loads.
The shock absorber uses a 46 mm piston in a 53 mm body, which increases oil volume and reduces the effect of temperature on damping performance. A larger oil volume helps keep damping stable even under prolonged stress.

- Height adjustment via lower mount – maintains full shock absorber travel
- Camber-adjustable aluminum pillowball top mounts (front axle)
- Monotube design for efficient heat management
- Nitrogen-pressurized shock absorbers for consistent damping
- Adjustable spring seat and corner weighting possible
- Bearing-mounted upper spring perch reduces friction and improves steering feel
- Dust boots to protect shock absorber seals
- Patented locking ring prevents loosening of height adjustment
Performance and Adjustability
Height adjustment:
Ride height is adjusted from the bottom of the shock absorber, allowing a wide range of adjustment without affecting spring preload or shock absorber travel.
Damping adjustment:
30-way adjustment allows fine-tuning of the suspension for various uses. By adjusting damping on the front and rear axles, driving behavior, such as understeer and oversteer, grip, and weight transfer, can be influenced.
Corner weighting:
The adjustable spring seat allows the car to be balanced so that the load is distributed evenly across all wheels, improving grip, driving stability, and cornering speed.
