BC Racing ER Series — Independent Compression and Rebound Control

The BC Racing ER Series is built for the driver who wants to fine-tune a setup rather than settle for a single combined adjustment. It pairs large external reservoirs, front and rear, with a twin-piston design that separates rebound and compression tuning into two independent 30-way dials. The reservoirs carry more oil than a conventional coilover and house the secondary piston that controls compression, so the damper resists heat and holds its behavior lap after lap. For anyone chasing the last few percent of control on the street or at the track, the ER Series gives you the range to dial it in.

Why External Reservoirs Matter

Coilovers generate heat as they work, and heat thins the damper oil, which is what causes fade under sustained hard use. The ER Series moves more oil into large external reservoirs so the unit runs cooler and stays consistent far longer than a conventional single-tube design. Those same reservoirs house the secondary piston that makes independent compression adjustment possible, so the extra capacity does double duty. The result is a coilover that keeps performing when the pace picks up and the miles add up.

Separate 30-Way Compression and Rebound Tuning

Most coilovers combine compression and rebound into one adjustment, which means every change is a compromise. The ER Series splits them, giving you a dedicated 30-way rebound dial and a dedicated 30-way compression dial. You can firm up body control without punishing ride quality, or soften compression over rough surfaces while keeping rebound tight, tailoring the car to your driving and your roads. It is the natural choice when a single combined adjustment no longer gives you enough control.

Fitment, Support, and the Springrates Guarantee

The ER Series is available across a wide range of chassis, and each kit is built specifically for its application, so enter your vehicle on the listing to confirm the correct fitment. Every BC Racing coilover is a fully rebuildable monotube design backed by a two-year warranty handled through BC Racing North America, and custom spring rates are available at no extra cost with Swift Spring upgrades offered on request.

FAQs

What makes the BC Racing ER Series different?

The ER Series is BC Racing's external-reservoir line, built for independent tuning. Large reservoirs front and rear feed a twin-piston damper, and a secondary piston in each reservoir allows compression to be adjusted separately from rebound. That gives you two dedicated 30-way dials instead of one combined adjustment, plus extra oil capacity for better heat management.

How does the ER Series compare to the BR Series?

The BR Series is BC Racing's streetable all-rounder, with a single 30-way dial that adjusts compression and rebound together. The ER Series steps up to external reservoirs and splits that into separate 30-way compression and 30-way rebound adjustment. If you want the ability to fine-tune each end of the damper independently and run longer without heat fade, the ER Series is the upgrade.

Is the ER Series streetable or track-only?

The ER Series is at home on the street and built to shine on the track. The independent compression and rebound dials let you settle the car for daily driving and then firm it up for a track day without changing hardware. Drivers who split their time and want to dial in each environment get the most from it.

What vehicles is the ER Series available for?

The ER Series covers a wide range of platforms, from popular sport compacts to rear-drive coupes and sedans. Each kit is engineered for its specific chassis, so the fastest way to confirm availability is to enter your vehicle on the listing.

How much damping adjustment does the ER Series offer, and how low does it go?

Each ER Series kit provides a full 30 clicks of rebound adjustment and 30 clicks of compression adjustment, tuned independently. Fully threaded shock bodies set ride height separately from spring preload, so you keep suspension travel while dialing in your stance. Exact drop varies by chassis, so check the listing for your vehicle.

Can I order custom spring rates or Swift Springs on the ER Series?

Yes. BC Racing builds ER Series kits with custom spring rates at no additional cost, so you can match the setup to your goals. Swift Spring upgrades are also available for drivers who want the premium spring option.

Are ER Series coilovers rebuildable, and what warranty do they include?

Every ER Series coilover uses a fully rebuildable monotube design, so the units can be serviced and refreshed rather than replaced. They are backed by a two-year warranty handled through BC Racing North America.
