Description

Nissan R32 Skyline GTS RWD (89-94) BC Racing DS coilover kit 8/5 kg/mm

The BC Racing DS coilover kit Skyline R32 (part number D-15-DS-DS) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the Nissan Skyline R32 GTS and GTS-t with rear-wheel drive (HCR32), Coupe and Sedan, model years 1989 to 1994. The spring rate is 8 kg/mm front and 5 kg/mm rear.

The DS series is the track-focused coilover kit from BC Racing. Where the BR works with a linear piston, the DS uses a digressive piston that already damps firmly at slow movements. This kit is for the rear-wheel drive R32 GTS or GTS-t that regularly goes on track and is also driven on the road. The four-wheel drive GT-R R32 and GTS-4 have their own DS kit.

Key benefits

• Digressive piston: firmer damping at low piston speeds from 0 to 50 mm/s.
• 30-click damping adjustment: compression and rebound in one adjustment, per damper.
• Ride height independent of spring preload: you set height and preload separately.
• Satin chrome damper body: recognisable by the finish of the DS series.
• Concave lower lock ring: keeps the set height in place.
• Spring rate 8/5 kg/mm: matched to the rear-wheel drive R32 GTS.
• Rubber top mounts at the front: rubber or the original mounting at the rear.
• Rebuildable: the dampers can be rebuilt.

Suitable for

Nissan Skyline R32 GTS and GTS-t with rear-wheel drive (RWD, HCR32), Coupe and Sedan, model years 1989 to 1994. Not suitable for the GT-R R32 (BNR32) and the R32 GTS-4 (HNR32) with four-wheel drive (AWD); for those, BC Racing has separate kits with part numbers starting with D-07.

Fitting and delivery

This coilover kit replaces the original dampers and springs of your R32 GTS front and rear and is made specifically for this model. We recommend having it fitted by an experienced mechanic and then having the wheel alignment reset, because a different ride height affects camber and toe. Expect a delivery time of 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If BC Racing temporarily does not have the kit in stock, you can still order it and we will let you know when it will be delivered.

The BC Racing DS series uses a digressive piston that, at piston speeds from 0 to 50 mm/s, damps more firmly than the linear piston of the BR.

Why choose this DS coilover kit Skyline R32?

The DS is intended for anyone who takes a rear-wheel drive R32 GTS-t on track more often. The digressive piston damps more firmly even at slow body movements, and with 30 clicks you tune the damping to the track or the road. Because the dampers can be rebuilt, you have the kit rebuilt after an intensive season.

Frequently asked questions

Is the BC Racing DS coilover kit for the Skyline R32 GTS suitable for a GT-R R32?

No. This kit (D-15-DS-DS) only fits the R32 GTS and GTS-t with rear-wheel drive (HCR32), Coupe and Sedan. For the GT-R R32 and the GTS-4 with four-wheel drive, there is the BC Racing DS kit D-07-DS-DS.

What is the difference between the BC Racing DS and BR for the Skyline R32 GTS?

The difference is in the piston: the DS is digressive and track-focused, the BR is linear and aimed at the road with the occasional track day. With this DS coilover kit Skyline R32 you get firmer damping at low piston speeds and a satin chrome damper body. The spring rate (8/5 kg/mm) and the number of clicks (30) are the same on both.

Is noise from the BC Racing DS dampers on the R32 GTS covered by the warranty?

No. BC Racing gives a 1 year warranty on manufacturing defects, but noise from the dampers during track use is not covered.
