Description
Toyota AE86 Corolla True Rear with spindle (83-87) BC Racing DS coilover kit 6/5 kg/mm
The BC Racing DS coilover kit AE86 True Rear (part number C-210-DS-DH) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the rear-wheel drive Toyota Corolla AE86, model years 1983 to 1987, with spindle and in True Rear version. The spring rate is 6 kg/mm front and 5 kg/mm rear.
The DS series is BC Racing’s track-focused line, with a digressive piston that damps more firmly at 0 to 50 mm/s, 30-click adjustment and a satin chrome damper body. In this True Rear version for the AE86 with spindle you get 4 struts with dampers and springs: the spring and damper are combined at the rear too.
BC Racing UK calls this construction rear integrated and specifies that the body shell is reinforced before fitting. That makes the kit a match for an AE86 that is being seriously built for the track.
