Product Information

Features 30 levels of dampening adjustment

If you're looking at these coilovers you're more than likely a performance oriented enthusiast. You want your E38 to handle well and look aggressive. Well, we're happy to inform you that you landed on the right page. The BC Racing BR Series coilover is designed and engineered for street use. These coilovers are just as suited for the weekly commute as they are for the weekend back road sessions and track days. With the twist of the damping adjustment knobs you can easily adjust your setup from comfortable to track ready. Ride height adjustment is easily made by lowering or raising the shock body from the adjustable lower mount with the included spanner wrenches. Included with the BR series coilovers are pillow ball mounts with built in camber adjustment.

Features:

  • 53mm Dampers (larger than the competition)
  • Fixed Cup/Locking Collar Design
  • Full pillowball mounts in the front & rear (where applicable)
  • Rubber inserts built in to keep the noise at a minimum.
  • 30 levels of damping adjustment (compression/rebound)
  • Separate height adjustment
  • Adjustment knob clicks at each position so you know where you're at

Spring rates:
Front: 9K s barrel spring
Rear: 6K linear spring

Coilover Set

Suspension coilovers are a type of car suspension system that combines a coil spring and a shock absorber (damper) into a single, integrated unit. The name comes from “coil” (the spring) and “over” (meaning the shock is inside or over the spring). Coilovers are typically adjustable, allowing you to change ride height, stiffness, and sometimes damping settings, depending on the model.

Benefits of Coilovers:

  • Adjustable ride height: Coilover suspension typically features a threaded adjustable spring platform, allowing adjustment of ride height for better handling, aesthetics, or clearance.
  • Improved Handling and Stability: Coilovers usually offer better cornering performance and reduced body roll compared to stock suspension.
  • Customizable Ride Comfort: Many coilovers allow you to tune stiffness and damping to balance comfort and performance.
  • Better Weight Distribution: Some coilovers can be adjusted corner-by-corner to fine-tune handling balance.
  • Enhanced Appearance: Lowering the car can improve the stance and overall look.
  • Versatility for Different Driving Conditions: Ideal for street, track, or off-road setups depending on the coilover design.

Awesome
For the price, you can't get any better coilovers for your E38. These are very well made and with BC Racing's racing and competition pedigree, you know these are going to last based on their durability. Excellent shock travel and rebound without bottoming out.

BC racing coilovers
In recently installed these on a 1995 E38 750il. I eliminated the EDC with self leveling years ago and installed Bilisteins Heavy Duty with H&R springs which looked good and rode quite well but I needed something that offered a little more fine tuning this kit gave me everything I was looking for fine tuning and adjustability now my car looks menacing sitting on 19 x 8.5 front 19 x 10 rear M-parallels replicas I also got the 20 piece suspension kit the car rides as good as new and handles great I think I made a great choice

For comfort and looks this is a great suspension upgrade. I am very impressed with the handling from this set-up so far. It can go quite low but that will depend on your driving habits. I am very happy that this was recommended by FCP EURO. This was installed on my E38 where a self leveling and EDC suspension once lived.

Questions & Answers

Ask a question
Question Posted by a customer
Hi, we are trying to replace both rear struts on this 1996 750li with self-leveling , we will bypass the hydraulic but we need to install quality replacement parts that we can warranty for our customer, do you have any other recommendation? or is this the only solution? Thanks Done Right Automotive Cleveland OH
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
This would be all that we can offer for non-self levelling vehicles, this would be a suitable option with BC Racing being a generally reputable suspension parts manufacturer.
Question Posted by Don
is extreme low available for this application and What is the min/max lowering for both standard and extreme kits?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
A standard BC Racing coilover kit lowers the vehicle anywhere from 2-3". Extreme low can get you another 1.5". Extreme low option must be ordered through customer service. Please email service@fcpeuro.com for further details.
Question Posted by Luis
If you change from self leveling edc suspension to this.would the check engine light pop up in my dash.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Deleting self leveling suspension does not cause a check engine light (that would be drivetrain related). It will cause a warning light specifically for the self leveling suspension but that is not the same as the check engine light. Self leveling can be coded "off" so the light does not come on.
Question Posted by a customer
Do you sell the EDC reroute hose for the self leveling system?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
We do not sell a product specifically intended to reroute the self leveling system. The type of hose needed must be rated for hydraulic fluid. Generic braided power steering hose will suffice for this.
Question Posted by a customer
the description states one year warranty, but yall have lifetime. which is it please?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
BC Racing will warranty a component failure directly within the first year. Our warranty will extend past the manufacturer period.
Question Posted by a customer
Do these coilovers come with the shortened sway bar links as pictured?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Yes, the kit comes with links as pictured.
Question Posted by a customer
Does this fit 1998 E38 B12 Alpina E-KAT (c/w EDC & SLS)? Its Vin being WAPB 0571 RD 30122. How would I reroute the circuitry for the EDC & SLS to avoid warning caption from illuminating?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
It will fit any E38 model. However, for vehicles with self leveling rear suspension the pressure pipe and return pipe will have to be rerouted using high pressure hydraulic hose and the EDC will have to be turned off via coding to prevent system faults and lights on the instrument cluster. There is no other way to disable EDC except to code it off.
