COILOVERS DS / BC RACING / MERCEDES BENZ SL

DS BC Racing coilovers for Mercedes Benz SL

DS BC Racing digressive coilovers for Mercedes Benz SL are designed for drivers seeking more precise, sportier and fully adjustable suspension. Developed from BC Racing’s experience in competition and chassis preparation, the DS range offers an excellent balance between road performance, dynamic driving enjoyment and occasional circuit use.

Part function

Coilovers replace the original dampers and springs to better control vehicle body movements. They allow adjustment of ride height, damping firmness and overall suspension behaviour. On a Mercedes Benz SL, they improve steering precision, stability under cornering load, braking and traction, while allowing the chassis to be adapted to sporting road use or trackdays.

Symptoms or consequences of worn or unsuitable suspension

• Reduced road holding and a floating sensation at high speed.
• Excessive body roll in corners and poorly controlled weight transfer.
• Substantial dive under braking and front-end lift under acceleration.
• Loss of precision during changes in cornering load.
• Uneven tyre wear with tired suspension or disturbed alignment.
• Reduced comfort with ageing original dampers.

Benefits of replacement

• Significantly improved body control and driving precision.
• Height adjustment independent of spring preload, to retain effective suspension travel.
• 30 levels of rebound and compression adjustment via a single knob.
• Double Digressive Valving technology providing stronger low-speed damping and a stable high-speed response.
• Better control of body roll, pitch and weight transfer.
• Sportier behaviour without entirely sacrificing comfort in use.
• A solution suited to sporting road use and occasional circuit outings.
