BC Racing ZR Series — Three-Axis Adjustability for the Track

The BC Racing ZR Series brings a 3-way adjustable, track-ready coilover system to racers from novice to pro, at a price that had never been seen in the industry. Each kit offers independent low-speed and high-speed compression adjustment plus separate rebound adjustment, so you can tune the damper across the full range of on-track situations. The exact damper layout is matched to the suspension: cars with MacPherson struts get an inverted monotube design, while double A-arm cars run upright dampers. In every case, external reservoirs keep the oil cool and put fine adjustment within easy reach.

Three-Way Damping, Matched to Your Suspension

The ZR Series separates damping into three independent adjustments: 30 clicks of rebound, 15 clicks of low-speed compression, and 12 clicks of high-speed compression. Low-speed compression governs body control through steady inputs like braking and cornering, while high-speed compression handles sharp hits such as curbs and rough pavement, so you can tune each without compromising the other. On cars with MacPherson struts, the ZR Series comes standard with an inverted monotube damper; cars with double A-arm suspension use upright dampers. Either way, the layout is built to give a racer precise, repeatable control.

External Reservoirs Built for Easy Adjustment

Every ZR Series damper runs external reservoirs to hold more oil and resist the heat that causes fade during long sessions. On strut cars, a steel-braided, Teflon-coated line exits the top of the damper and leads to reservoirs that can be remotely mounted on the chassis for quick access. On double A-arm cars, braided lines or a solid stem exit the bottom of the damper to a reservoir that mounts under the chassis or on the shock body itself. The result is a system that stays consistent under race conditions and is easy to fine-tune between runs.

Fitment, Support, and the Springrates Guarantee

The ZR Series is offered for a focused range of chassis, and each kit is engineered for its specific suspension type, 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 ZR Series different?

The ZR Series is BC Racing's 3-way adjustable, track-ready line, bringing three-axis damping to racers at a price that had not been seen in the industry. Each kit offers independent low-speed and high-speed compression adjustment plus separate rebound, with external reservoirs for heat management and easy tuning. It is engineered for drivers from novice to pro who want full control over how the car responds on track.

How does the ZR Series compare to the BR Series?

The BR Series is the streetable all-rounder with a single 30-way combined adjustment. The ZR Series is a dedicated race coilover that splits damping into three independent adjustments, 30 clicks of rebound, 15 of low-speed compression, and 12 of high-speed compression, along with external reservoirs and a suspension-matched damper design. Step up to the ZR Series when you want motorsport-level tuning rather than a street-focused setup.

Is the ZR Series streetable or track-only?

The ZR Series is a track-ready race system, built around three-axis adjustment, external reservoirs, and a damper design matched to your suspension. Its focus is on-track performance for racers from novice to pro. If you want a coilover geared primarily to street driving, the BR Series is the better fit, while the ZR Series is built for the circuit.

What vehicles is the ZR Series available for?

The ZR Series is offered for a focused range of chassis, with the damper layout tailored to whether the car uses MacPherson struts or double A-arm suspension. To confirm availability and the correct configuration for your car, enter your vehicle on the listing.

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

The ZR Series provides 30 clicks of rebound adjustment, 15 clicks of low-speed compression, and 12 clicks of high-speed compression, all adjusted 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 ZR Series?

Yes. BC Racing builds ZR Series kits with custom spring rates at no additional cost, which is important on a race-focused setup where the spring choice shapes the car's balance. Swift Spring upgrades are also available for drivers who want the premium spring option.

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

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