The BMW E39 is one of the most highly regarded BMW's ever built. It's modern suspension (even by today's standards) mean that it is hard ti improve upon over stock. BC Racing has designed the BR coilovers for street driven vehicles and more specifically for owners who are looking for maximum adjustability and performance in all aspects.
The BR series coilover comes with specifically valved shocks and matched springs to ensure proper performance.

- 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)

Front: 8K s barrel spring
Rear: 8K linear spring
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.
