BC Racing HM Series — Inverted Dampers with 2-Way Adjustment

The BC Racing HM Series offers the same great benefits as the RM Series and adds 2-way damping adjustment for a serious step up in control. Each kit uses inverted monotube dampers with independently adjustable compression and rebound, so you can tune each direction to suit the car and the surface. The inverted design keeps the vital damper fluid away from heat sources to resist fade, and it lowers unsprung weight by shifting the coilover mass up toward the chassis. With external reservoirs exiting the top of each damper, the HM Series is built for the most demanding drivers on the track.

Inverted Monotube Dampers with Independent 2-Way Control

The HM Series builds on the inverted RM design by separating compression and rebound into independent adjustments. That 2-way control lets you firm up body motion without over-stiffening the ride, or manage compression over rough sections while keeping rebound tight. The inverted monotube layout keeps the damper fluid away from the heat that causes fade under extreme track use, and it trims unsprung weight by moving the majority of the coilover mass up to the chassis, where weight is easier to shave. It is a setup that gives a driver real, direction-specific tuning.

Top-Mounted External Reservoirs for Track-Side Tuning

On the HM Series the external reservoir exits the top of each damper, which opens up an important convenience: the reservoir can be mounted in infinitely variable locations under the hood or in the trunk. That means quick, easy access for adjustment right at the track, without wrestling components buried down at the wheel. Paired with the inverted monotube dampers, the added oil capacity of the reservoirs helps the units run cool and consistent through long sessions. The combination is what makes the HM Series suited to the most demanding drivers.

FAQs

What makes the BC Racing HM Series different?

The HM Series delivers the same inverted benefits as the RM Series and adds 2-way damping adjustment. Each kit uses inverted monotube dampers with independently adjustable compression and rebound, plus external reservoirs that exit the top of the damper for flexible mounting. It is built for drivers who want direction-specific tuning and consistent performance under the most demanding track conditions.

How does the HM Series compare to the RM Series?

The HM Series shares the RM Series inverted monotube design, with its cooler-running fluid and reduced unsprung weight, and then adds independently adjustable 2-way damping and top-mounted external reservoirs. Where the RM Series carries the BR-style adjustment into an inverted body, the HM Series lets you tune compression and rebound separately. Choose the HM Series when you want that added layer of control at the track.

Is the HM Series streetable or track-only?

The HM Series is a track-focused coilover built for the most demanding drivers, though its adjustability lets you soften it for the drive to and from an event. The inverted monotube dampers, 2-way adjustment, and external reservoirs are all aimed at sustained hard track use. If your priority is fine control on track, the HM Series is designed for it.

What vehicles is the HM Series available for?

The HM Series is offered for a focused range of chassis, with each kit engineered for its specific application. To confirm availability for your car, enter your vehicle on the listing.

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

The HM Series provides 2-way damping with independently adjustable compression and rebound, and the top-mounted external reservoirs make those adjustments easy to reach at the track. 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 HM Series?

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

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

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