Product Details
BC Racing HM Series Coilovers for the 2002-2006 Acura RSX (DC5) combine the inverted-damper durability of the RM Series with the independent compression and rebound tuning of the ER Series — BC's pick for track-day McPherson-strut builds. Every kit is extensively tested on the RSX DC5 chassis and refined until it balances ride quality with performance — the reason RSX coilovers from BC Racing are the best-selling adjustable kits in their segment worldwide.
HM Series kits use an inverted mono-tube damper on McPherson-strut chassis (upright on double-wishbone) with external reservoirs feeding separate compression and rebound adjusters. The result: the tuning depth of the ER Series inside the heavy-load chassis architecture of the RM. Where BC Racing separates itself is tuning philosophy: every off-the-shelf spring rate and damper setup is chosen to stay comfortable on daily roads while still delivering real performance at the track. If you want something different, Swift Springs, custom rates, and custom valving are all options at checkout — BC will match the valving of the dampers to whatever springs you pick, something most brands don't offer outside their flagship race lineup.
Since 2004, BC Racing has grown into one of the most trusted names in aftermarket coilovers — not by racing to the bottom on price, but by pairing that price with real build quality, deep customization options, and a damper design any suspension shop can rebuild instead of replacing. These RSX coilovers arrive tuned for the DC5 chassis and ready to bolt in — no break-in period, no guessing at setup. Every kit ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty, lifetime access to BC service parts (pistons, seals, shafts — no unit replacement required when it's time for a rebuild), and in-house tech support from both BC Racing and the Springrates team.
