BC RACING  

At the '08 SEMA show we were looking for a coilover company willing to offer a solution for the Lexus IS-F. On the final day we hooked up with the folks at BC Racing and found exactly what we were looking for in a performance coilover. Great build quality, affordable price and best of all flexibility in spring rates and valving to serve a number of different tastes. After all, everyone has a different opinion on what they want in a suspension and one size does not fit all. After carefully specifying spring rates that we felt would be a good start, we took delivery of the first part in Jan. 08 and installed them on our test IS-F. The results were dramatic and evident. The stiffer spring rates and enhanced damping had taken the rough low speed ride from the OEM shocks and turned it into small blips of road surface feedback. The high speed handling was more predicatable and entry and exit out of corners was more linear which allowed more precise modulation of the throttle. In short, the car was transformed.

The damping range was then tested for scale, after all what is adjustability if you can only use the bottom 5 settings. Overall we found a good range from 5-25 clicks on the system. 9 clicks out on the front shocks and 12 clicks out on the rear provided an excellent canyon/track setting while a more conservative 20 clicks FR and 25 clicks RR was a more suitable ride for a daily driver. Regardless of your personal settings these will get you where you want and allow drastic changes in the way your vehicle performs with a few clicks of the knob. We are proud to offer these products to the IS community and hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.

BR series Coilovers

General specs:

  • Mono-Tube Shock (Rebuildable) design
  • 30 way adjustable damping control (compression/ rebound) via knurled knob on top of shock.
  • Optional Pillowball or rubber upper mounts. Rubber mounts offer a lower noise ride while Pillowball offer precision handling.
  • Separate ride height adjustment means that you do not need to change spring preload to adjust vehicle ride height.
  • Springs rates are specified below but can be customer specified as well. Large steps in spring rate will also include the proper revalving. Allow 1-2weeks for revalving of custom orders.

Technical Specs:

  • 46mm Pistons onver 53mm shock housings providing a large range of damping force capabilites.
  • Special spring-steel valves which outperforms other stainless steels and offers prolonged valve life.
  • Patented concave lower locking ring to prevent unseating
  • Springs constructed of SAE9254 High Strength steel that is compression tested over 500,000 with less than 5% deformation.
  • Pistons are high polished steel to lengthen oil seal life which means no leaking and longer seal life.
  • High pressure inner rod guide seals ensure a perfect fitment resulting in consistent fade resistant damping and long seal life.
  • 2-Step coating process utilizing nickel and chromium plating to prevent corrosion.
  • Newly developed lubricant oil in all shock cartridges minimizes aeration/foaming and cavitation.
  • An added bearing beneath each pillowball mount provides the smoothest action possible and prolongs the life of the pillowball itself.

KW SUSPENSION:

Uncompromised Performance Competition Coilovers

 
FIGS offers performance suspension coil over damper kits from KW suspension GMbh. These are the highest quality dampers with features geared towards racing performance:
Features
  • Bypass resevoirs: By adding a bypass resevoir, the fluid is free to flow through the damper valving without end effects of the fluid volume. In other words, the damping is predicatable and consistent no matter how hard you use them. Hot, cold, top, bottom they will always be at maximum performance.
  • Full INOX Stainless Steel bodies for corrosion resistance.
  • 3-Way Independant damping adjustment:
    • High Frequency damping (damping power)
    • Compression-14 level adjustment
    • Rebound -Infinite adjustment
  • Hardened, chromium-plated piston rods
  • Pistons with V-shaped Teflon seals – optimal sealing with minimal friction – temperature-resistant, durable damping technology
  • High-quality, high-tensile racing springs
  • German TUEV-tested adjustment parameters

Installation Guide
 

Welding examples

MIG: More material in weld, bead is usually convex.

TIG: Less filler metal used, weld is more precise and typically concave.

 

Link kits

Trac Links  
To compliment the front side of the rear suspension we have designed our own traction links. They help locate the rear end more precisely via the rod end replacing the stock rubber bushing. They are also pretty close to stock weight while adding a lot of adjustment options. Great for additional freedom in rear alignment adjustment.
