Product Details
BC Racing RM Series Coilovers for the 2000-2005 Ford Focus MK1 (Excl. Wagon) (DAW) are purpose-built for McPherson-strut cars that see serious track time, with an inverted mono-tube damper engineered to outlast a hard season of lateral loads. Every kit is extensively tested on the DAW chassis and refined until it balances ride quality with performance — the reason Focus MK1 (Excl. Wagon) coilovers from BC Racing are the best-selling adjustable kits in their segment worldwide.
The RM Series inverts the mono-tube damper on strut-equipped chassis, putting the heavy internals where the lateral loads are worst. A wider piston shaft than conventional uprights means more consistent damping on long sessions and more fatigue life before rebuild. The off-the-shelf setup from BC Racing is deliberately balanced — spring rates and valving chosen so the kit feels comfortable day-to-day without giving up performance when you push it. Drivers who want a different recipe can spec Swift Springs, custom spring rates, or fully custom valving at checkout; BC will tune the dampers to match, which is a depth of customization most brands only offer on their top-tier kits.
BC Racing's reputation in the aftermarket suspension world is built on four things: competitive pricing that beats the rest of the fully-adjustable market, customization depth that rivals the top-tier race brands, long-term reliability earned over 20 years of production, and a rebuildable design that keeps the same set of dampers serving you through multiple builds. These Focus MK1 (Excl. Wagon) coilovers arrive tuned for the DAW 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.
