What defines the DS Series is its digressive valve. Building on the BR architecture, it changes how the shock absorber reacts based on piston speed: high resistance during slow movements like braking, cornering, and acceleration, and significantly less during sharp impacts against curbing and bumps. The result is a car that is firm in corners and remains stable when the asphalt quality drops. Finished in satin chrome with 30 clicks of simultaneous adjustment.
Complete kit for all four wheels of the BMW 3 Series E46 RWD (98-06), excluding M3. It features an integrated rear configuration: in the rear, the spring and shock absorber form a single unit rather than being separate as in the stock setup, which allows for rear ride height adjustment directly on the shock. Weighs 23 kg. Manufacturer part number I-31-DS-DH.
Front mounts include and rear mounts include . The front axle allows for camber and caster adjustment, a feature not available on all applications. Ride height is adjusted independently of spring preload, and the tapered lower locking collar prevents the adjustment from shifting during use. Includes dust covers to protect the seals and a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
There are 9 spring rate combinations available. The one BC Racing defines as the default for this car is 6/5 kg/mm.
Before you buy
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 conditions the validity of the kit on this work being performed. This is a task for a specialized workshop and should be included in your budget.
