Do you have questions about this product?
📞 Ask an Expert!The BC Racing BR Series offers the most affordable entry into coilover suspension without sacrificing performance, comfort, build quality, or handling. This is achieved by extensively testing each vehicle then refining the coilover characteristics until the most well-balanced and affordable aftermarket suspension is reached. The BR series uses a large 46mm diameter piston in a 53mm diameter damper body to maximise oil capacity, reducing peak temperature and significantly improving damper performance.
