Description

Nissan S15 Silvia 200SX pillowball top mounts (99-02) BC Racing DS coilover kit 6/4 kg/mm

The BC Racing DS coilover kit S15 pillowball (part number D-27-DS-DA) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the Nissan Silvia and 200SX S15 with rear-wheel drive, model years 1999 to 2002. The spring rate is 6 kg/mm front and 4 kg/mm rear.

The DS series is BC Racing’s track-focused coilover kit, for an S15 that regularly goes out on the circuit or to a drift day but also continues to be driven on the road. The heart of the kit is a monotube damper with a digressive piston in a satin chrome damper body.

This version has pillowball top mounts or camber plates at the front. This means the front strut is attached directly to the body, which you can feel through the steering wheel. If you are looking for more comfort and less noise, choose the DS version with rubber top mounts at the front (D-27-DS-DS).

Key benefits

• Digressive piston: firmer damping at slow body movements between 0 and 50 mm/s.
• 30-click damping adjustment: compression and rebound adjustable together, per damper.
• Pillowball top mounts at the front: or camber plates, for a direct connection of the front struts.
• Ride height independent of the spring preload: you change the height without preloading the spring differently.
• Spring rate 6/4 kg/mm: the same spring rate as the BR and ZX kits for the S15.
• Concave lower lock ring: holds the set height.
• Satin chrome damper body: the recognisable DS look.
• Rebuildable: the dampers can be rebuilt.

Fitting and delivery

This coilover kit is specific to the S15 and takes the place of the original dampers and springs. Preferably have it installed by an experienced mechanic. On some cars the pillowball top mount at the front requires a small modification to the upper mounting; if in doubt, contact us. After setting the height, a wheel alignment is required, because camber and toe shift. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If BC Racing temporarily has the kit out of stock, you can still order; we will let you know when it arrives.

The BC Racing D-27-DS-DA combines a digressive monotube damper with pillowball top mounts at the front and springs of 6 kg/mm front and 4 kg/mm rear.

Why choose this DS coilover kit S15 pillowball?

Choose this DS when the S15 goes on the circuit more often than just once a year. The digressive piston keeps the car calmer when turning in and braking, and the pillowball top mounts at the front give you direct feedback on what the front wheels are doing. You keep 30 clicks to tune the damping per damper.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the BC Racing DS-DA and DS-DS coilover kits for the Nissan Silvia S15?

The only difference is the front top mounts: the D-27-DS-DA has pillowball top mounts or camber plates at the front, the D-27-DS-DS rubber top mounts at the front. Dampers, springs (6/4 kg/mm) and price are the same. Pillowball gives a more direct connection, rubber transmits less vibration and noise to the body.

What is the difference between the BC Racing DS and BR coilover kits for the Nissan Silvia S15?

The DS has a digressive piston and is track-focused, the BR a linear piston for mainly road use. As a result, the DS coilover kit S15 pillowball damps more firmly at slow movements; the springs are 6/4 kg/mm on both.

Does the BC Racing DS coilover kit with pillowball fit every Nissan Silvia S15?

Yes, BC Racing releases it for the rear-wheel-drive Silvia S15, model years 1999 to 2002. For the S13 and the S14, also when sold as the 200SX, there are other BC Racing kits. On some cars the pillowball top mount at the front requires a small modification to the upper mounting.
