Construction & Design:

BC Racing’s DS Coilovers are built with a focus on durability and performance. The mono-tube shock design ensures efficient heat dissipation, reducing fade during extended spirited driving or track sessions. The satin chrome finish on the shock body not only provides corrosion resistance but also adds a refined aesthetic to your suspension components.

The digressive piston technology is a standout feature, engineered to provide increased damping force at low piston speeds, which translates to better control over body motions such as roll and pitch. This design maintains a linear damping feel at higher piston speeds, ensuring smooth and predictable handling across a variety of driving conditions.
