Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Coilovers provide more adjustability than a strut and spring setup and can serve a variety of different needs - it's important to be sure of what your suspension goals are. We have broken down our coilover catalog into street and track categories, this is not to say you can't use one of our aEURoestreetaEUR coilovers on the track, or vice versa, but it is to give you a starting point. Are you someone who is interested in getting your BMW lower than factory height for the aesthetic value and handling benefits in a daily driver? Check out our street category. The majority of these are priced to avoid breaking the bank, but providing a good value in terms of features and benefits. On the other hand, if you are putting together your vehicle with the track as its main purpose, take a look at our track coilovers category. We have hand selected these coilover brands as being more expensive coilovers built to hold up to abuse.

Looking for coilovers that will provide reliability on street driven vehicles but are also capable of feeding your weekend track demon's desire for performance? BC Racing's BR Series coilover kit may be just the thing for you.

BR Series coilovers are the most popular and versatile option offered by BC racing, offering features such as 30-level dampening adjustment (simultaneous compression and rebound control), linear springs where possible, and a minimum of 2 inches ride height drop. To ensure performance, comfort, and quality, all BR Series kits are Dyno tested during the design stage to determine the best valving and spring rates, then installed and tested for a minimum of 6 months. This kit features mounts and brackets that are fully compatible with all stock mounting points and components.

The upper shock/strut mounts are all constructed of 6061-T6 Aluminum for strength and weight savings. BC Racing design 1 of 3 types of upper mounts for each vehicle: Caster/Camber Plates (+/- 3* camber), Camber Plates (+/- 3* camber), and Rubber Mount Plates (NVH reduction). The included mount option for this kit is shown in the kit specs and features below.

Lower shock mounts are powder coated for corrosion protection and constructed of either 6061-T6 aluminum that has been milled from a single piece (fork or bolt eye mount) or of STKM13C steel with all brackets welded robotically.

The included springs come in one of 3 styles: linear, S-barrel, and V-barrel. Linear springs are used in most applications unless limited by the OE design that does not allow the use of linear springs. All spring options are made from SAE9254 steel and have a zinc coating applied under the powder coating for increased spring corrosion protection and long term reliability.

All shock bodies used in the BR Series coilovers use a 53mm shock body (unless noted otherwise) for added strength, performance, and increased fluid capacity. All shocks are then powder coated black chrome for clean styling and corrosion protection.

Specs and Features:

  • 8k Front & 10k Rear Spring Rate
  • Linear front & S-Barrel rear springs
  • Valved specifically to spring style and rate
  • Camber Plate Front Mounts

Factory Pre-set Damping

The Variant 1 is KW's basic simple and effective coil over kit that is still packed with lots of features -
  • Pre-set damping optimized for a blend of ride comfort and handling with less bodyroll than the standard suspension,
  • Stainless steel strut/shock bodies and composite spring perches for superior corrossion resistance,
  • Individually height-adjustable - Front = 30-60mm lowering; Rear = 25-55mm lowering,
  • TUV approved lowering range and operation,
  • Expert engineering and design for ease-of-use and long durability,
    This is the ideal coil over kit for an E36 M3 owner who does not plan on tracking or autocrossing the car and just wants a lower, more aggressive stance and better handling. KW has set the shock damping rates to be an excellent balance for a smooth yet taut ride, and to resist bodyroll motions for better handling. The Variant 1 differs from the Street Comfort set in that it has stiffer springs and revised shock settings. If you want a sportier ride and better handling than stock the Variant 1 is an excellent choice.

    Fitment Note: Wheel spacers may be required depending on wheel/tire sizing and ride height setting.

    The DS Series Coilovers use a proprietary digressive piston design that offers the driver increased damping force at low-speed piston velocities while maintaining a linear damper feel at higher piston velocities. One of the greatest advantages of increased low-speed damping force relates to what the driver feels, e.g., roll, pitch, dive, and quick weight transitions on technical road courses. You will notice a much more planted and confident chassis feel, with increased feedback through the steering wheel. To evoke the passion for driving that all automotive enthusiasts have embedded in their DNA, BC Racing took the best features from Their BR Series Coilover, engineered components to improve driver experience, conducted in-house testing, approved the product, determined a reasonable, affordable price, and proudly present the BC Racing DS Series Coilover for 350+ vehicles, from the Toyota Camry to the Nissan GT-R and beyond, BC Racing has a DS Series Coilover system for you. The DS Series is available for a vast number of vehicles and with that, an equal number of customization options as well. The BC Racing DS Series Coilover can be customized for every type of racing imaginable, from the weekend track warrior to the full-time race car.

    The DS series from BC racing offers increased control and feedback for those looking to achieve the best driving experience possible. Digressive Valving means the shock is firmer at low speed, while transitioning to a softer and more linear feel as (shaft) speed increases. This leads to a much more planted and controlled feeling in the chassis, increased feedback through the wheel, and a slight drop in passenger comfort. Swift Springs are available upon request with your choice of rates and matched or custom valving.
