Nissan S15 Silvia 200SX (99-02) BC Racing ZX coilover kit 6/4 kg/mm

The BC Racing ZX coilover kit S15 (part number D-27-ZX) 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 ZX combines BC Racing’s DS and ER into a 3-way coilover kit for competitive circuit work, long sessions and demanding drifting. For a drift car like the Silvia S15, that is a logical combination.

The upright monotube dampers have a dual piston and an external reservoir with racing oil with a very high viscosity index. You set low-speed compression (20 clicks), high-speed compression (12 clicks) and rebound (30 clicks) separately.

Key benefits

• 3-way adjustable: 20 clicks low-speed compression, 12 clicks high-speed compression and 30 clicks rebound.
• External reservoir: made for long sessions on the circuit.
• Dual piston, digressive: firm control at slow body movements.
• Racing oil: with a very high viscosity index.
• Spring rate 6/4 kg/mm: the same basis as the BR and DS for the S15.
• Replaceable upper mounting: with camber plates on suitable kits; rubber top mounts optional.
• Made for drift: also suitable for demanding drift sessions.
• Rebuildable: the dampers can be rebuilt.

Fitting and delivery

This vehicle-specific kit replaces the original dampers and springs of the S15. A mechanic with experience of reservoir dampers is recommended, also for positioning the reservoirs. After setting the ride height, have the wheel alignment checked and adjusted. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If it is out of stock, you can still order; we will let you know when the kit arrives.

The BC Racing ZX for the Silvia S15 (D-27-ZX) is a 3-way coilover kit with 20 clicks of low-speed compression, 12 clicks of high-speed compression and 30 clicks of rebound.

Why choose this ZX coilover kit S15?

With the ZX you do not just set the damping hard or soft, but also how the S15 responds to slow movements such as body roll and to sharp impacts such as kerbstones. That makes it suitable for anyone who uses their S15 seriously on the circuit or in drift competitions. The 6/4 kg/mm springs are a familiar basis that you can adjust later.
