Product Details
BC Racing HM Series Coilovers for the 2017-2021 Honda Civic Hatch 1.5T (FC) combine the inverted-damper durability of the RM Series with the independent compression and rebound tuning of the ER Series — BC's pick for track-day McPherson-strut builds. Every kit is extensively tested on the Civic Hatch 1.5T FC chassis and refined until it balances ride quality with performance — the reason Civic Hatch 1.5T coilovers from BC Racing are the best-selling adjustable kits in their segment worldwide.
HM Series kits use an inverted mono-tube damper on McPherson-strut chassis (upright on double-wishbone) with external reservoirs feeding separate compression and rebound adjusters. The result: the tuning depth of the ER Series inside the heavy-load chassis architecture of the RM. 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.
BC Racing has been manufacturing adjustable coilovers since 2004 and is one of the most popular coilover brands in the automotive tuning industry for a reason: competitive pricing, deep customization, proven reliability, and a fully rebuildable damper design that lasts years instead of seasons. These Civic Hatch 1.5T coilovers arrive tuned for the FC 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.
