BMW have a range of coilover kits available including the most popular BR Series. The RM, DR, ZR & ER Series are also available, see the difference below or contact a member of the team to help you out.

All coilover kits are supplied with standard spring rates which are stated below. If you want custom spring rates please contact us! Please note this will incur a charge of £40.00 Inc VAT in addition to the kit price & will take 2-3 weeks to order in from BC HQ.

BR SERIES COILOVER

The BR series coilovers use a large 46mm diameter piston in a 53mm diameter damper body to maximise oil capacity. As the damper unit opearates the oil contained within heats up. The viscosity of oil changes as its temperature varies which can lead to changes in the damping characteristics of the unit.

BR – TYPE RA

The RA series coilover kits are supplied with aluminium front top mounts with pillowball centres (camber adjustable if macpherson) and aluminium rear top mounts with rubber centres or no top mounts

SPRING RATE - 8/12kg/mm

This is the kit we recommend for the best balance of performance and comfort, designed by the factory to have the best overall compromise of spring rate, ride height range, top mount design and damping rate to suit the majority of car owners.

It is more than capable of dealing with fast road and track work but also retains a high degree ride civility so the car can still be used for mundane duties and long journeys without the ride becoming tiring.

RM SERIES COILOVER

The BC Racing RM series feature high quality damping adjustable monotube inverted dampers at the front or front and rear, depending on vehicle. The RM coilovers offer the majority of the features of the BR series but with the additional benefit of the inverted damper unit. Inverting the damper unit brings with it a number of advantages.

RM – TYPE MA

The MA series coilover kits are supplied with aluminium camber adjustable pillowball front top mounts and aluminium rear top mounts with rubber centres or no rear top mounts

SPRING RATE - 8/12kg/mm

ER SERIES COILOVER

BC Racings premium flagship coilovers are the external reservoir ER Series with separate compression and rebound damping adjustment. The ER Series coilovers bring with them the high quality and unique features seen on the BR and RM type but have the additional benefit of external reservoirs and the ability to allow the end user to individually adjust and set compression and rebound damping rates.

SPRING RATE - 8/12kg/mm

DS SERIES COILOVER

BC Racing's DS Coilover system is built with digressive valving offering the same great benefits of the BR Type model and is considered a perfect choice for those who are looking for track biased coilovers. The digressive valving offers more stability and enhances cornering ability at low shaft speed which gives you a different ride from the conventional linear valving.

SPRING RATE - 8/12kg/mm
