Description
Lexus GXE10/JCE10 IS200 IS300 (99-05) BC Racing DS coilover kit 10/6 kg/mm
The BC Racing DS coilover kit Lexus IS200 (part number R-01-DS-DS) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the Lexus IS200 and IS300 (GXE10/JCE10), model years 1999 to 2005. The spring rate is 10 kg/mm front and 6 kg/mm rear.
The DS series is the track-focused coilover kit from BC Racing, for an IS200 or IS300 that regularly goes on track and is otherwise simply driven on the road. The monotube dampers have a digressive piston that damps more firmly at slow body movements, between 0 and 50 mm/s.
In practice, this keeps the IS flatter on turn-in and calmer under braking. The 30-click damping adjustment, the ride height independent of the spring preload and the satin chrome-plated damper body complete the package.
Key benefits
- Digressive piston: more control at slow body movements between 0 and 50 mm/s.
- 30-click damping adjustment: compression and rebound in a single adjustment per damper.
- Ride height independent of spring preload: the spring keeps its preload while you choose the height.
- Spring rate 10/6 kg/mm: for the Lexus IS200 and IS300 (GXE10/JCE10).
- Satin chrome-plated damper body: characteristic of the DS series.
- Concave lower lock ring: holds the set ride height in place.
- Rubber top mounts at the front: with rubber or the original mounting at the rear.
- Rebuildable: the dampers can be rebuilt.
Suitable for
Lexus IS200 (GXE10) and IS300 (JCE10), model years 1999 to 2005 (not for the second-generation IS, XE20)
- Regular track days with an IS that is also driven every day
- Sporty road driving with a firmly tuned suspension
- Lowering while the spring preload stays the same

Fitting and delivery
The kit is vehicle-specific and replaces the original dampers and springs. We recommend having it fitted by an experienced mechanic. After setting the ride height, the wheel alignment should be readjusted, because camber and toe change as well. 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 and we will let you know the expected delivery date.
The BC Racing DS kit R-01-DS-DS for the Lexus IS200 and IS300 has a digressive piston, 10/6 kg/mm springs and 30-click damping adjustment.
Why choose this DS coilover kit Lexus IS200?
An IS200 or IS300 that you also take on track calls for more control than a road kit provides. The digressive piston of the DS series damps more firmly at slow movements, so the car goes through corners flatter. With 30 clicks and a ride height that you set independently of the spring preload, you tune the kit for road and track.

Frequently asked questions
Is the BC Racing DS coilover kit for the Lexus IS300 suitable for daily use?
Yes, the DS series is track-focused but remains usable on the road. With the 30 clicks you set the damping softer for daily use and firmer for a track day. If you drive almost exclusively on the road, the BR series is an alternative.
What is the difference between the BC Racing DS and ZX coilover kits for the Lexus IS200 and IS300?
The ZX is 3-way adjustable and has an external reservoir, while the DS adjusts compression and rebound together in 30 clicks. On the ZX you set the low-speed compression (20 clicks), the high-speed compression (12 clicks) and the rebound (30 clicks) separately. For the IS, both have 10/6 kg/mm springs; the DS coilover kit Lexus IS200 is the choice for those who combine road and track.
Does the BC Racing DS coilover kit for the Lexus IS200 apply to both the GXE10 and the JCE10?
Yes, BC Racing UK releases this kit for the IS200 (GXE10) and the IS300 (JCE10), model years 1999 to 2005. There is no separate listing for the SportCross; if you have one, contact us to confirm the fit. This kit is not intended for the second-generation IS (XE20).
