Description
Nissan C35 Laurel (97-02) BC Racing DS coilover kit 8/6 kg/mm
The BC Racing DS coilover kit Laurel C35 (part number D-97-DS-DA) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the Nissan Laurel C35 with rear-wheel drive, model years 1997 to 2002. The spring rate is 8 kg/mm front and 6 kg/mm rear.
If you use your Laurel C35 more often on track or at a drift day, the DS series gives you a track-focused coilover kit. Here BC Racing uses a monotube damper with a digressive piston, which damps more firmly at slow body movements.
This keeps the big sedan calmer when turning in and under body roll. You set the ride height independently of the spring preload, and the damping in 30 clicks. At the front there are pillowball top mounts or camber plates.
Key benefits
- Digressive piston: firmer damping between 0 and 50 mm/s.
- 30-click adjustment: compression and rebound together, per damper.
- Height independent of spring preload: lower the car without changing the preload on the spring.
- Spring rate 8/6 kg/mm: the same as the BR and RM kits for the C35.
- Pillowball top mounts at the front: or camber plates, for a direct connection.
- Satin chrome damper body: the recognisable DS finish.
- Concave lower lock ring: holds the set height in place.
- Rebuildable: the dampers can be rebuilt.

Fitting and delivery
This coilover kit is specific to the Laurel C35 and replaces the original dampers and springs. We recommend having 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 adjusting the height, a new wheel alignment is needed. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If there is no stock, you can still order, and we will let you know when the kit arrives.
The BC Racing D-97-DS-DA is the DS coilover kit for the Nissan Laurel C35 RWD, with a digressive monotube damper and 8/6 kg/mm springs.
Why choose this DS coilover kit Laurel C35?
The DS is the choice if your Laurel sees more track days than the average road car. The digressive piston keeps the body calm under braking and turn-in, and with a sedan of this size you notice that straight away. With 30 clicks you find the balance between grip and comfort.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the BC Racing DS and RM coilover kits for the Nissan Laurel C35?
Both have a digressive piston and 30 clicks, but the RM uses fully synthetic oil and is made for track days, hill climbs and tarmac rally. BC Racing advises periodic greasing for the RM and recommends it less for road use than the DS. For a Laurel that is also driven on the road, the DS coilover kit Laurel C35 is therefore the more practical choice.
Is the BC Racing DS firmer than the BR for the Nissan Laurel C35?
Yes, at slow movements the DS damps more firmly thanks to the digressive piston. The springs are 8/6 kg/mm on both; with its linear piston, the BR is more road-oriented.
Does the BC Racing DS coilover kit fit every Nissan Laurel C35?
No, only the rear-wheel drive Laurel C35, model years 1997 to 2002. All-wheel drive versions and other Laurel generations are excluded.

Normally within 1 to 2 weeks, as long as the manufacturer has stock. If it is temporarily sold out, you can still order it and we will let you know the delivery date.
