COILOVERS BR / BC RACING / VOLVO 240

BR BC Racing coilovers for Volvo 240

This BC Racing Club Sport BR coilover kit is intended for Volvo 240 models and aimed at drivers seeking adjustable, high-performance and versatile suspension. New and designed using BC Racing’s motorsport expertise, these coilovers improve vehicle behaviour while remaining suited to road use and circuit outings.

Part function

Coilovers replace the original suspension components to control body movements, ride height and damping firmness more precisely. Their threaded body allows vehicle height to be adjusted via the lower mount without changing spring preload or unnecessarily reducing travel. This design provides effective adjustment to optimise vehicle attitude, road holding and driving precision.

Symptoms or consequences of worn or unsuitable suspension

• Imprecise road holding, especially under lateral load or during changes of direction
• Excessive body roll and significant body movements
• Less stable braking with pronounced front-end dive
• Loss of traction or inconsistent behaviour on uneven roads
• Uncontrolled ride height or vehicle appearance that does not meet expectations
• Premature tyre wear if alignment or suspension has deteriorated

Benefits of replacement

• Improved road handling and driving precision
• Ride height adjustment to adapt the vehicle to road, sporting or track day use
• 30-position firmness adjustment for simultaneous rebound and compression adjustment
