BC Racing DS Series Coilovers for the 2001-2006 BMW M3 (E46) use a new proprietary digressive piston design that offers increased damping force at low piston velocities while maintaining a linear damper feel at higher piston velocities.

One of the greatest advantages of increased low-speed damping force relates to what the driver feels, e.g. roll, pitch, dive, and quick weight transitions on technical road courses.

For the ultimate in driver feel, choose the BC Racing DS Series Coilover System. BC Racing DS Coilovers are the most popular track coilover from BC Racing.

Features:

  • Highly customizable
  • Mono-tube shock design
  • Digressive piston and damping curve
  • Satin chrome finished shock body
  • Height adjustment independent of spring compression
  • 30-clicks of simultaneous compression/rebound adjustment
  • Front camber plates standard on applicable kits
  • Rear camber plates available for applicable kits
  • Custom spring rates and Swift Springs available
  • Custom valving or valving paired for custom spring rates
  • 2 year warranty against manufacturing defects
  • Fully rebuildable with replacement parts

Not all vehicles can use camber plates in the front and/or rear. Most vehicles will have non-adjustable top mounts included, and some will reuse OEM upper mounts. Refer to the Specifications section for more information.
