COILOVERS DS / BC RACING / BMW I8

BC Racing DS coilovers for BMW i8

This BC Racing DS coilover kit is a new product designed to improve the dynamic handling of the BMW i8. Intended for drivers seeking more precise, more stable and adjustable suspension, the DS range benefits from BC Racing’s motorsport and trackday expertise.

Purpose of the part

Coilovers replace the original suspension components to control body movements, grip and ride height. Their threaded monotube design and digressive-valve technology allow BC Racing DS coilovers to manage roll, pitch and weight transfer more effectively, while responding more directly to changes in cornering load.

• Excessive body roll in corners and a floating sensation.
• Loss of stability under braking or acceleration.
