The RM Series features an inverted monotube shock absorber, with the oil and gas reservoir at the top, mounted to the chassis. This configuration reduces unsprung weight, allowing the tire to better track the asphalt and stop bouncing on rough surfaces. It also keeps the oil away from brake heat, which under intense use can travel up the hub and soften the damping. The 42 mm piston rod adds resistance to lateral loads and maintains stable steering geometry.
Complete kit for all four wheels of the BMW X3 F25 xDrive (11-17). Weighs 24 kg. Manufacturer reference I-56-RM-MA.
The front features an inverted shock absorber with a pillowball mount adjustable for camber, and the rear uses rubber mounts or no mounts, depending on the application. The front axle allows for camber adjustment. Ride height is adjusted independently of spring preload, and the conical lower locking collar prevents the setting from shifting with use. Includes dust boots to protect the seals and a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
Supplied with a single spring rate, 6/6 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. It must be cleaned and reapplied periodically to avoid noise; this is simple maintenance that does not require opening or re-pressurizing the shock. For this reason, BC Racing targets this series at track use and recommends the BR, DS, ER, or ZX for a daily driver.
The front pillowball mounts are a rigid anchor point without elastic elements, and in some vehicles, they may transmit a slight knocking sound into 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 mounts avoid this effect.
