BMW F87 M2 non-Competition pillowball top mounts (16-18) BC Racing BR coilover kit 6/12 kg/mm

The BC Racing BR coilover kit M2 F87 pillowball (part number I-75-BR-RA) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the BMW M2 F87, model years 2016 to 2018 (not the M2 Competition). The spring rate is 6 kg/mm front and 12 kg/mm rear.

The BR series is BC Racing’s all-round coilover kit, intended for an M2 that is mainly driven on the road and occasionally does a track day or autocross. The monotube dampers have a linear piston, you adjust the damping in 30 clicks and you set the ride height independently of the spring preload.

This is the RA version. The letters after the series in the BC Racing part number tell you which top mounts are fitted: RA means pillowball top mounts or camber plates at the front, with rubber or the original mounting at the rear. For the M2 F87 there is also the BR-RN (I-75-BR-RN), with rubber or the original mounting front and rear.

Key benefits

• Pillowball top mounts at the front: or camber plates (code RA), for a direct connection between strut and body.
• Ride height independent of spring preload: lower the M2 while the spring keeps its preload.
• 30-click damping adjustment: you adjust compression and rebound together, per damper.
• Monotube with linear piston: the damping increases evenly with the speed of the wheel movement.
• Spring rate 6/12 kg/mm: 6 kg/mm front and 12 kg/mm rear, as BC Racing supplies the kit for the M2 F87.
• Patented concave lower lock ring: the set height stays firmly locked.
• Rebuildable: the dampers can be rebuilt.
• Road and track: usable every day and suitable for the occasional track day or autocross.

Suitable for

BMW M2 F87 (model years 2016 to 2018), the original M2 Coupe with rear-wheel drive. Not for the M2 Competition (2018 to 2021): for that, BC Racing has separate kits, with part numbers starting with I-98.

• Daily driving with a more tightly set-up M2
• The occasional track day or autocross
• Drivers who want a direct connection of the struts at the front

Fitting and delivery

The kit is vehicle-specific and replaces the original dampers and springs. We recommend having it fitted 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 ride height, have the wheel alignment of the M2 reset, because camber and toe change as well. The delivery time is 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 and we will let you know when it comes in.

For the BMW M2 F87 from 2016 to 2018, BC Racing supplies the BR coilover kit I-75-BR-RA with pillowball top mounts at the front and springs of 6 kg/mm front and 12 kg/mm rear.

Why choose this BR coilover kit M2 F87 pillowball?

The M2 is a compact rear-wheel-drive coupe that is just as much at home on the track as on the road. With this kit you choose how low it sits and tune the damping in 30 steps to your driving style. The pillowball top mounts at the front give a direct connection that you feel through the steering wheel, and because the dampers are rebuildable, you can have them rebuilt after intensive use.

Frequently asked questions

What do the codes RA and RN mean on the BC Racing BR coilover kit for the BMW M2 F87?

RA and RN indicate which top mounts are fitted to the kit. RA, like this I-75-BR-RA, has pillowball top mounts or camber plates at the front and rubber or the original mounting at the rear; RN (I-75-BR-RN) has rubber or the original mounting front and rear. The series and spring rate (6/12 kg/mm) are the same for both. Pillowball gives a more direct connection that you feel in the steering, while rubber transmits less vibration and noise to the body.

Does the BC Racing BR coilover kit I-75-BR-RA also fit a BMW M2 Competition?

No, this kit is only for the BMW M2 F87 from 2016 to 2018. For the M2 Competition (2018 to 2021) BC Racing has separate kits whose part numbers start with I-98, such as the BR kit I-98-BR-RN. The M2 F87 was only built as a rear-wheel-drive coupe, so within the M2 up to 2018 there are no other body variants.

What is the difference between the BC Racing BR and DS coilover kits for the BMW M2 F87?

The BR has a linear piston and is made for the road with occasional track use; the DS has a digressive piston and is more track-focused. During slow body movements between 0 and 50 mm/s, the DS damps more firmly. If you mainly drive your M2 on the road and want pillowball at the front, the BR coilover kit M2 F87 pillowball is a logical choice.

What is the delivery time of the BC Racing BR coilover kit for the BMW M2 F87?

The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If the kit is temporarily out of stock, you can still order it and we will keep you informed of the delivery date.
