BC Racing Coilovers for the Infiniti 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 for the 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. Whether the goal is a sharper daily driver or a track-day edge, the kit adapts to you.

Why the Q50 Responds So Well to 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 BC Racing coilovers addresses all of it. Because 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 BC Racing Series for Your Q50

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 at no extra cost, and supports Swift Spring upgrades.

FAQs

Are BC Racing coilovers good for the Infiniti Q50?

Yes. BC Racing coilovers 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.

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 whether you set it aggressively low or 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.
