Product Information

Features independent height adjustment with 30 way adjustable compression settings

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. Ride height adjustments are made by raising or lowering the shock body in relation to the lower mount. This method of ride height adjustment ensures that the shock can maintain full travel regardless of how low or how high you decide to set up your car.

Additionally, BC includes a full pillow ball top mount with an adjustable camber plate. The pillowball mount creates a unique road feeling that is not possible with a traditional OE style rubber mounts.

Features:

  • 53mm Dampers (larger then 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: 8K s barrel spring
Rear: 8K 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.

BR Series Coilover Kit
I bought this kit to replace the self leveling system in my 528i, which was completely useless. The rear end of my car sat about 3 inches lower than the front giving me maybe an inch of clearance, and this on top of barely any rebound control meant driving felt like bull riding, except the bull is going 50 miles per hour. After install my beemer is a brand new car, I can go over speedbumps, go on the freeway, pull into my driveway, and drive my car without being constantly reminded of how horrid most roads around me are.

Coilovers on the wagon
the coilovers are good for the price. I have them set to the lowest setting, & the ride isn’t too bad. Its dailyable. Not the best, but far from the worst. Plus they have camber plates, definetely would recommend if you’re not trynna spend too much on a good coilover system for a daily.
