BC Racing BR coilovers for Volvo S40

The BC Racing BR coilovers for Volvo S40 are designed to improve the vehicle’s dynamic handling while retaining versatility for road use and occasional circuit outings. Drawing on BC Racing’s motorsport experience, these new coilovers offer an excellent balance of performance, driving precision, ride-height adjustment and body-roll control.

Purpose of the part

Coilovers replace the original suspension components to control body movements, vehicle attitude and tyre contact with the road more effectively. Their threaded bodies allow precise ride-height adjustment while retaining suitable travel and controlled spring preload. The 30-position damping adjustment allows the Volvo S40’s handling to be tailored to daily driving, performance road use or trackdays.
