BC Coilovers Q50

The Infiniti Q50 is a genuinely capable sport sedan, but the factory suspension is tuned for a soft, comfortable commute rather than the handling the chassis can deliver. From 2014 onward, both the AWD and RWD V37 platforms carry noticeable body roll, front-end dive, and a floaty feel at speed.

BC Racing coilovers Q50 give you the control that stock leaves on the table, with adjustable ride height and 30-way damping so you can set the car up exactly the way you drive it. Daily driver or track-day edge, the kit adapts to whichever goal you're chasing.

Why Choose Q50 BC Coilovers?

From the factory, the Q50 leans on comfort, which shows up as body roll through quick transitions, dive under braking, and vague control over rough pavement at speed. A set of Q50 BC Racing coilovers addresses all of it. 

As ride height is set through the fully threaded shock body rather than by preloading or cutting springs, you can lower the Q50 to your target stance while keeping full suspension travel and correct damper geometry. The result is a sedan that turns in more sharply, stays flatter through corners, and puts its power down with more composure, without giving up the ability to soften things back off for the daily commute.

Choosing the Right Q50 BC Coilovers

The BR Series is the best starting point for most Q50 owners, pairing 30-way combined compression and rebound adjustment with streetable spring rates and a pillowball front top mount for improved steering response and camber adjustability where applicable. 

The DS Series adds digressive valving for sharper low-speed control if you run track days or autocross regularly, and the ER Series brings independent compression and rebound tuning through external reservoirs for dedicated track and drift builds. 

Every kit is offered for both AWD and RWD Q50 models, can be ordered with custom spring rates for $150, and supports Swift Spring upgrades.

FAQs

Are BC Racing coilovers good for the Infiniti Q50?

Yes. BC Racing coilovers Infiniti Q50 are one of the most popular and best-value handling upgrades for the Q50. They give the platform the ride-height and damping control the factory suspension lacks, sharpening turn-in, cutting body roll and squat, and improving composure over bumps, all while staying comfortable enough to drive every day. Infiniti Q50 BC coilovers from BC Racing specifically are engineered per drivetrain, not just adapted from a generic 3-series kit, which is part of why they fit and perform as well as they do.

Which BC Racing series is best for a Q50, BR, DS, or ER?

The BR Series is the right call for most owners, with 30-way damping and streetable spring rates that transform the car without punishing you on the street. The DS Series adds digressive valving for sharper low-speed control on track, and the ER Series brings independent compression and rebound tuning through external reservoirs for dedicated track and drift use. Availability applies to both AWD and RWD Q50 models.

How low do BC Racing coilovers go on the Q50?

Ride height is set through the fully threaded shock body, giving a wide, fully adjustable range rather than a single fixed drop. You keep full suspension travel at your chosen height, so the Q50 handles properly at an aggressive drop or a stance closer to stock. This lets you dial in the exact stance you want without sacrificing ride quality.

Should I choose the standard rear or the True Rear option for my Q50?

The Q50 uses a divorced rear layout, where the factory spring and shock sit separately, so the standard BC Racing kit adjusts height at the rear spring perch. The True Rear option replaces that setup with a full rear coilover, combining height and damping in one unit for a cleaner install and unified adjustment front to rear. If you want the most precise rear tuning and consistent adjustability, the True Rear option is worth considering where it is offered for your Q50.

Will BC Racing coilovers fit my year of Q50?

BC Racing offers coilovers for the V37 Q50 from 2014 onward in both AWD and RWD configurations. Because AWD and RWD cars use different setups, always select your exact year and drivetrain on the listing so we match the correct kit. If you are unsure which applies to your car, reach out and we will confirm before you order.

Can I daily drive my Q50 on BC Racing coilovers?

Yes. The BR Series is valved and sprung to stay streetable, improving body control without beating you up on rough roads. Backed off through its 30-way range, it rides comfortably day to day while still transforming how the car handles when you push it.

Are BC Racing coilovers rebuildable, and what warranty do they include?

BC Racing coilovers use a monotube design and are fully rebuildable, so a worn or leaking unit can be serviced rather than replaced. Every kit carries a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects, handled directly through BC Racing North America, making it a long-term investment in your Q50.

Do I need an alignment after lowering my Q50?

Yes. Lowering the Q50 changes camber and toe, so an alignment is required to protect tire life and preserve handling. Because ride height is set through the coilover body, you keep full suspension travel at your chosen height, which makes a proper alignment easier to dial in.

Do you carry BC coilovers Q50 in both AWD and RWD?

Yes, both drivetrains are fully stocked as separate kits rather than one setup adapted to fit both:

  • BC coilovers Q50 AWD and BC Racing coilovers Q50 AWD kits for the AWD V37
  • BC coilovers Q50 RWD and BC Racing coilovers Q50 RWD kits for the RWD V37/ZV37

Whichever Q50 BC coilovers you need, select your exact drivetrain on the product listing, since the AWD and RWD versions use different front-end hardware and aren't interchangeable.
