Product Details
BC Racing ZX Series Coilovers for the 2011-2019 BMW 1 Series (RWD) bring the same three-axis adjustability as the race-spec ZR Series with valving tuned for drivers who split time between street and track. Every kit is extensively tested on the 1 Series RWD chassis and refined until it balances ride quality with performance — the reason 1 Series coilovers from BC Racing are the best-selling adjustable kits in their segment worldwide.
ZX Series kits share the three-axis damper architecture of the race-spec ZR Series, tuned out of the box for drivers who want race-grade adjustability without the ride harshness on the commute home. 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.
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 1 Series coilovers arrive tuned for the RWD 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.
