The RM Series features an inverted monotube shock absorber, with the oil and gas reservoir at the top, mounted to the vehicle body. This arrangement reduces unsprung weight, allowing the tire to better track the asphalt and stop bouncing on broken pavement. It also keeps the oil away from brake heat, which under intense use rises through the hub and ends up softening the damping. The 42 mm piston rod adds resistance to lateral loads and keeps steering geometry stable.
Complete kit for all four wheels of the Ford FOCUS MK3 RS (16-18). Weighs 23 kg. Manufacturer part number E-33-RM-MA.
The front features an inverted shock absorber with a camber-adjustable pillowball top mount, while the rear uses rubber or solid top mounts, depending on the application. The front axle allows for camber adjustment. Ride height is adjusted independently of spring preload, and the tapered bottom locking collar prevents the setting from moving during use. Includes dust covers to protect the seals and a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
There are 4 spring rate combinations available. The one BC Racing defines as default for this car is 7/7 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-to-metal contact. It must be cleaned and replenished periodically to avoid noise; this is simple maintenance that does not require opening or re-pressurizing the shock. For this reason, BC Racing gears this series toward track use and recommends BR, DS, ER, or ZX for a daily-driven car.
The front pillowball top mounts are a rigid anchor with no elastic element, and in some vehicles, they may transmit a slight tapping 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 top mounts avoid this effect.
