Inverting the shock absorber is what sets the RM Series apart. With the oil and gas reservoir anchored to the body rather than the hub, unsprung mass is reduced: the wheel responds faster to every irregularity and maintains better contact with the ground. That same position protects the oil from the heat generated by the brakes, so the damping holds up just as well on the last lap as it does on the first. It features a 42 mm piston rod, which is more resistant to lateral stress.
Complete kit for all four wheels of the Honda CIVIC EP1/EP2/EM2/ES1 (01-05). Weighs 23 kg. Manufacturer part number A-06-RM-MA.
The front features an inverted shock absorber with a pillowball top mount adjustable for camber, and the rear includes rubber top mounts or no top mount, 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 shifting with use. Includes dust covers to protect the seals and a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
Supplied with a single spring rate, 6/9 kg/mm.
Before you buy
The shock absorber is a cartridge housed inside a threaded body, and between both parts there is grease that prevents metal-to-metal contact. It must be cleaned and reapplied periodically to avoid noise; this is simple maintenance that does not require opening or repressurizing the shock absorber. For this reason, BC Racing targets this series for track use and recommends BR, DS, ER, or ZX for a daily-driven car.
The front pillowball top mounts are a rigid anchor point, without an elastic element, and in some body styles, they 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 top mounts avoid this effect.
