Description

Nissan S15 Silvia 200SX rubber top mounts (99-02) BC Racing DS coilover kit 6/4 kg/mm

The BC Racing DS coilover kit S15 (part number D-27-DS-DS) 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.

This DS version is intended for the S15 driver who wants the track-focused damping of the DS but prefers rubber top mounts to pillowball at the front. Rubber transmits less vibration and noise, which is pleasant if the car is also driven a lot on the road.

The dampers are monotube with a digressive piston in a satin chrome body, with 30-click adjustment. You set the ride height independently of the spring preload, so you can lower the car without preloading the spring differently.

Key benefits

• Rubber top mounts at the front: less vibration and noise in the cabin.
• Digressive piston: more control over slow body movements between 0 and 50 mm/s.
• 30-click damping adjustment: compression and rebound together, per damper.
• Height independent of the preload: lower or raise the car without adjusting the spring.
• Spring rate 6/4 kg/mm: the same as the DS kit with pillowball for the S15.
• Concave lower lock ring: the height setting stays in place.
• Rebuildable: the dampers can be rebuilt.

Nissan Silvia and 200SX S15 with rear-wheel drive, model years 1999 to 2002 (not for the S13 and S14)

After setting the ride height, a new wheel alignment is needed, 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 it and we will keep you informed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the BC Racing DS-DS and DS-DA coilover kits for the Nissan S15?

The DS-DS has rubber top mounts at the front, the DS-DA pillowball top mounts or camber plates at the front. Otherwise, dampers, springs and price are the same. The DS coilover kit S15 with rubber top mounts is the quieter choice for a lot of road use.

Is the BC Racing DS firmer than the BR for the Nissan Silvia S15?

Yes, at slow movements the DS damps more firmly thanks to its digressive piston. The BR has a linear piston and is more road-oriented; both have 6/4 kg/mm springs for the S15.

Does the BC Racing DS coilover kit with rubber top mounts fit every Silvia S15?

Yes, BC Racing releases it for the rear-wheel-drive Nissan Silvia S15 from 1999 to 2002. If you have an S13 or S14, including as the European 200SX, you need a different BC Racing kit.
