BC Racing Coilovers for the Toyota Chaser

The Toyota Chaser is a rear-wheel-drive Japanese sport sedan that earned icon status in the drift world, prized for its turbocharged inline-six power and a chassis that loves to rotate. Built on the JZX90, JZX100, and JZX110 platforms, the Chaser responds to a coilover upgrade like few sedans can, rewarding precise ride height and damping control with sharper handling and a more planted stance. BC Racing coilovers give Chaser owners the adjustability to lower the car cleanly, control body motion through hard cornering and slides, and set the car up exactly how they drive. Whether the goal is a tidy street sedan or a dedicated drift build, BC coilovers bring the Chaser's rear-drive chassis to life.

Why the Chaser Rewards a Coilover Upgrade

As a rear-wheel-drive platform with real power potential, the Chaser thrives on suspension that can be dialed in for both grip and control. BC Racing coilovers use fully threaded shock bodies to set ride height independent of spring preload, so you can run an aggressive stance while keeping full suspension travel. That means flatter cornering, more predictable weight transfer, and the ability to fine-tune the car for street driving or slides. For a chassis as capable as the Chaser, a quality coilover setup is one of the most transformative upgrades you can make.

Choosing the Right BC Racing Series

BC Racing offers three series so you can match the coilover to how you drive your Chaser. The BR series is the streetable everyday choice, with 30 levels of combined compression and rebound adjustment and linear valving that lowers the car while keeping the ride comfortable. The DS series uses digressive valving for sharper low-speed control, a strong pick for aggressive street and track use. The ER series adds independent compression and rebound tuning through external reservoirs, making it the dedicated track and drift option. Every series includes monotube dampers, custom spring rates at no extra cost, and available Swift Spring upgrades.

Fitment, Support, and the Springrates Guarantee

BC Racing coilovers are engineered as a direct-fit upgrade for the Chaser's JZX chassis, and every kit is fully rebuildable so it holds up to hard use over the years. Applicable fitments can be ordered with camber-adjustable or pillowball top mounts to help recover alignment after lowering, and a True Rear option is available so you can run a full rear coilover in place of the factory divorced setup.

FAQs

Are BC Racing coilovers good for the Toyota Chaser?

Yes. BC Racing coilovers are a popular upgrade for the Chaser because they lower the car, sharpen handling, and add real damping adjustment for a rear-drive chassis that loves to be tuned. The BR series keeps the ride streetable while giving you a cleaner stance and flatter cornering, and the range extends up to dedicated drift setups. For most Chaser owners it is one of the best-value upgrades available.

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

For a street-driven Chaser, the BR series is the best all-around choice with 30 levels of adjustment and a comfortable ride. If you drive aggressively or hit the track, the DS series with digressive valving offers sharper low-speed control. For dedicated drift and track builds, the ER series with independent compression and rebound via external reservoirs is the top choice.

What is the difference between the standard rear and the True Rear option?

The Chaser uses a divorced rear suspension, meaning the spring and shock are separate from the factory. A standard BC Racing kit replaces the front struts and works with a matching rear damper and spring setup, while the True Rear option provides a full rear coilover that combines the spring and shock into one adjustable unit. The True Rear setup gives you independent rear ride-height adjustment and is often preferred for drift and track builds where fine-tuning the rear is important.

Will BC Racing coilovers fit my year of Chaser?

BC Racing offers coilovers across the supported Chaser generations, covering the JZX90, JZX100, and JZX110 chassis produced through the 1990s and early 2000s. Kits are matched to the specific chassis, so it is important to select the version that corresponds to your Chaser. If you are unsure which JZX platform your car is, reach out and we will help confirm the correct application.

Can I daily drive my Chaser on BC Racing coilovers?

Yes. The BR series is designed for street use, and its 30 levels of adjustment let you soften the ride for daily driving or firm it up for spirited runs. Combined with the fully threaded design that preserves suspension travel, the Chaser stays composed on the road. Many owners run BC coilovers as their everyday setup while keeping the option to push harder when they want to.

Do BC Racing Chaser coilovers come with camber plates and bump stops?

BC Racing kits include bump stops and dust boots, and applicable Chaser fitments can be ordered with camber-adjustable or pillowball top mounts that help set alignment after lowering. Adjustable top mounts are especially useful on a rear-drive drift or track build where camber tuning matters. Confirm the top-mount option for your specific chassis before ordering if camber adjustment is a priority.

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

Yes. BC Racing coilovers use monotube dampers that are fully rebuildable, so they can be serviced and revalved rather than replaced as they wear, which is ideal for a hard-driven Chaser. Every set is backed by a 2-year warranty handled through BC Racing North America. That serviceability and support make them a long-term investment for your build.

Do I need an alignment after lowering my Chaser?

Yes. Changing ride height alters the suspension geometry, so a professional alignment is recommended after installing coilovers. This protects your tires and keeps the rear-drive chassis predictable, which matters even more on a car set up for spirited or drift driving. Camber-adjustable top mounts, where available, give your shop the range to dial in proper alignment specs.
