    BC Racing DS coilovers

    A little back ground for my review, I have used many different brands of coilovers and have done everything from lowering springs on customer cars to custom built Coilovers for my track cars. I typically would not even consider using anything at this price point from the experiences that I have had in the past with low price point suspension parts. I am overall very happy with these especially at this price, The kit is complete, I didnt have to buy camber plates or drop links for the swaybars which is a value add, these parts dont scream quality like Ohilins or AST/MCS but look like they will hold up well. Making adjustments to rebound/compression actually works as this may seem like a given most cheap coil overs dont really do much when you adjust them and these actually do. I have not put them on a shock dyno or taken this car to the track yet but I think if you are looking for a coilover setup for something that is not a dedicated track car I would definitely consider these. They are not crazy stiff like most cheap things, stiff is junk these seem to have a spring rate that is well matched to the valving. With these adjusted just under half from full stiff they ride better than stock and are not bouncy at all. The rebound functions really well when weight transferring giving the car a very predictable transition, I'm still working on dialing them in but mid corner bumps are not concerning as these seem to deal with high speed compression or second bump fairly well.

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.

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.
