What defines the DS Series is its digressive valve. Building on the BR architecture, it changes how the shock absorber reacts according to piston speed: high resistance during slow movements like braking, cornering, and acceleration, and significantly less on sharp impacts against curbs and potholes. The result is a car that is firm in corners and does not get unsettled when the road surface deteriorates. Finished in satin chrome with 30 clicks of simultaneous adjustment.
Complete kit for all four wheels of the BMW 3 Series E36 RWD (92-98) (except M3). It comes in an integrated rear configuration: the spring and shock absorber form a single unit rather than being separate as in the factory setup, which allows for adjusting the rear ride height directly on the shock absorber. Weighs 24 kg. Manufacturer reference I-30-DS-DH.
The front axle allows for camber and caster adjustment, something not available on all applications. Ride height is adjusted independently of spring preload, and the tapered lower locking collar prevents the setting from shifting with use. Includes dust covers to protect the seals and a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
There are 15 stiffness combinations available. The one BC Racing defines as the default for this car is 6/5 kg/mm.
Before buying
Before installation, the chassis must be reinforced in the area of the rear mounts. The integrated assembly introduces loads that the original setup distributed differently, and BC Racing makes the validity of the kit conditional upon this work being done. This is a job for a specialized workshop and should be accounted for in the budget.
