Fitting and delivery
The ZX kit is vehicle-specific for the rear-wheel drive R33 GTS and replaces the original dampers and springs.

We deliver this kit within 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If BC Racing temporarily has it out of stock, you can still order.
The BC Racing ZX for the Skyline R33 GTS RWD has an external reservoir and three adjustments: low-speed compression, high-speed compression and rebound.
Why choose this ZX coilover kit Skyline R33?
A rear-wheel drive R33 GTS-t that is drifted or driven on track for long periods asks a lot of its dampers. With the ZX you set the response to slow body movements separately from the response to fast impacts, and you adjust the rebound separately. That way you adapt the car precisely to the track and to your driving style.
