Product Details

BC Racing BR Series Coilovers for the 2014-2018 Subaru Forester (SJ) are BC Racing's entry-level coilover and the most popular kit in their entire lineup — they offer the most accessible entry into adjustable coilover suspension without sacrificing performance, comfort, build quality, or handling. Every kit is extensively tested on the SJ chassis and refined until it balances ride quality with performance — the reason Forester coilovers from BC Racing are the best-selling adjustable kits in their segment worldwide.

Every BR Series kit is built around a mono-tube damper with simultaneous compression and rebound adjustment at every corner — a wide damping range without the complexity of a race-only setup. Ride height is fully adjustable independent of spring preload, so you set the stance and the ride separately. BC Racing takes pride in choosing spring rates and damper valving that balance comfort and performance — you never end up with the oversprung, harsh-riding kit some brands ship as their only option. Drivers who want to deviate from the factory setup can order Swift Springs, custom spring rates, and custom valving at checkout; BC will re-valve the dampers to match whatever you specify, a level of customization most brands reserve for their top-tier race kits.

Since 2004, BC Racing has grown into one of the most trusted names in aftermarket coilovers — not by racing to the bottom on price, but by pairing that price with real build quality, deep customization options, and a damper design any suspension shop can rebuild instead of replacing. These Forester coilovers arrive tuned for the SJ chassis and ready to bolt in — no break-in period, no guessing at setup. Every kit ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty, lifetime access to BC service parts (pistons, seals, shafts — no unit replacement required when it's time for a rebuild), and in-house tech support from both BC Racing and the Springrates team.

Features

  • 30-level simultaneous compression/rebound damping adjuster
  • Mono-tube damper with linear piston and hardened chrome shaft
  • Ride height adjustable independent of spring preload
  • Upper mount hardware varies by chassis — camber plates, pillowball, or reused OEM mounts. See the Specifications table for what's included on your kit.
  • Swift Spring and custom spring rate upgrades available at checkout
  • Custom damper valving paired with custom spring rates on request
  • Fully rebuildable — replacement parts available from BC for the life of the shock
  • 2-year manufacturer warranty against defects

    As the title says.

    A little about me.

    I’ve lowered somewhere around 100 vehicles. Many just for friends, or myself but also some as I ran a suspension shop.

    I’ve owned many brands some many man not even have heard off such as JIC Magic, or Endless Zeal. IMO KW is the brand that all others are compared.

    First set of BC Racing and I was worried they wouldn’t be to my expectations as they are often retro as mid tier. If they are mid tier I feel that are on the top of the heap.

    I waged a bit to post some clumps get some miles on. Not a ton so far a few thousand but no clunks, or boings.

    Seemed to settle right in.

    Did an alignment and was easy to work with with the front camber plates on the pillow mount.

    I’m going to order another set for an Infiniti QX50 this week. That’s how confident I am with this purchase.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

How much will BC Coilovers lower my car?

On average, Standard Drop allows about 1-2 inches of drop range below factory ride height. Extreme Low allows about 2-3 inches of drop.

Can BC Coilovers achieve factory ride height?

No. In most cases, factory ride height cannot be achieved.

What is a custom build vs off-the-shelf kit?

The stock level displayed on our website reflects the availability of standard “off-the-shelf” kits, unless noted otherwise in the product description. Selecting any custom options—such as Extreme Low, custom spring rates, Swift Spring upgrades, or top mount changes—will result in a custom-built kit. Please note: all series except the BR Series are built to order, with the exception of select popular DS Series kits that may be in stock. Also, some popular Extreme Low kits are in stock as well. To identify these, look for "Extreme Low" in the product title.

Will the struts be valved correctly?

Yes! The shocks and/or struts are always valved to match the spring rates you choose during a custom build. There is no additional cost.

Can they be rebuilt?

Yes, all BC Racing Coilovers can be rebuilt by purchasing individual replacement parts. For example, if a strut leaks, you can simply replace the shock cartridge.

Is there rush shipping available?

Rush shipping is not offered, but all in-stock kits ship very fast— most by the next day.

Customizing the coilovers in any way will delay the shipment by a few weeks on average.
