The RM Series features an inverted monotube shock absorber, with the oil and gas reservoir at the top, mounted to the vehicle body. This configuration reduces unsprung weight, allowing the tire to better track the road surface and preventing bouncing on uneven terrain. It also moves the oil away from the heat of the brakes, which, during intense use, travels up the hub and eventually softens the damping. The 42 mm piston rod adds resistance to lateral loads and maintains steering geometry stability.
Complete kit for all four wheels of the Audi Q3 F3 2WD (18-25). Weighs 23 kg. Manufacturer part number S-40-RM-MA.
The front features an inverted shock absorber with a camber-adjustable pillowball top mount, and the rear includes rubber top mounts or no top mount, depending on the application. The front axle supports camber adjustment. Ride height is adjusted independently of spring preload, and the tapered bottom collar prevents the setting from shifting during use. Includes dust covers to protect the seals and a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
Supplied with a single spring rate: 8/6 kg/mm.
Before you buy
The shock absorber is a cartridge housed inside a threaded body, with grease between the two parts to prevent metal-on-metal contact. This must be cleaned and reapplied periodically to prevent noise; it is a simple maintenance task that does not require opening or repressurizing the shock absorber. For this reason, BC Racing targets this series at track use and recommends the BR, DS, ER, or ZX series for daily-driven cars.
Front pillowball top mounts are a rigid connection, without elastic elements, and in some vehicle bodies, they may transmit a slight knocking sound to the cabin. This does not indicate a defect, and BC Racing does not cover it under warranty nor accept returns for this reason. Configurations with rubber top mounts avoid this effect.
