Description
Honda AP1/AP2 S2000 (00-09) BC Racing DS coilover kit 10/10 kg/mm
The BC Racing DS coilover kit S2000 (part number A-09-DS-DS) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the Honda S2000 AP1 and AP2, model years 2000 to 2009. The spring rate is 10 kg/mm front and 10 kg/mm rear.
The DS is the track-focused series from BC Racing, and this version is the DS kit BC Racing UK recommends for the Honda S2000 AP1 and AP2. It has rubber top mounts at the front; at the rear, rubber or the original mounting is used.
The digressive piston damps extra firmly at low piston speeds, between 0 and 50 mm/s, so the S2000 stays calm on turn-in and under braking. With 30 clicks you adjust compression and rebound together, and you set the ride height independently of the spring preload.
Key benefits
- Digressive piston: more damping for slow body movements between 0 and 50 mm/s.
- 30-click damping adjustment: compression and rebound in a single action.
- Ride height independent of spring preload: set via the damper body.
- Spring rate 10/10 kg/mm: the DS kit BC Racing UK recommends for the S2000.
- Satin chrome damper bodies: the recognisable look of the DS.
- Concave lower lock ring: locks the set height.
- Rubber top mounts at the front: rubber or the original mounting at the rear.
- Rebuildable: the dampers can be rebuilt.

We recommend having it fitted by an experienced mechanic, and after lowering, have the camber and toe adjusted again. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If BC Racing is temporarily out of stock, you can still order; we will get in touch as soon as we have a delivery date.
The BC Racing DS coilover kit A-09-DS-DS is the DS kit BC Racing UK recommends for the Honda S2000 AP1 and AP2, with 10/10 kg/mm springs and rubber top mounts at the front.
Why choose this DS coilover kit S2000?
The S2000 is often driven on track, and that is where the DS series makes the difference. The digressive damping keeps the body under control during the slow movements that determine the balance, while with 30 clicks you adjust for track or road. With 10/10 kg/mm, the kit has the same spring rate as the other BC Racing kits for the S2000.

Frequently asked questions
Does the BC Racing DS coilover kit fit both the Honda S2000 AP1 and the AP2?
Yes. BC Racing releases this DS kit for the S2000 AP1 and AP2, model years 2000 to 2009. If in doubt, send us your car’s chassis number.
What is the difference between the BC Racing DS-DS and DS-DH for the Honda S2000?
The top mounts differ. This DS-DS has rubber top mounts at the front and rubber or the original mounting at the rear; the DS-DH is the other version, with pillowball top mounts or camber plates front and rear. If you want the rubber version that BC Racing UK recommends, choose the DS coilover kit S2000.
Is the BC Racing DS coilover kit for the S2000 suitable for road use?
Yes, you can drive it on the road, but BC Racing has aimed the DS at the track. If you mainly drive the S2000 on the road, the BR series is a better match.
What is the delivery time of the BC Racing DS coilover kit for the Honda S2000?
Normally 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If the kit is temporarily sold out at BC Racing, you can still order it and we will keep you informed.
