Description
BC Racing ER coilover kit Nissan Silvia S13 240SX camber/caster top mounts (89-94) 8/6 kg/mm
The BC Racing ER coilover kit S13 (part number D-12-ER) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the Nissan Silvia, 180SX, 200SX and 240SX on the S13 platform, model years 1989 to 1994. The spring rate is 8 kg/mm front and 6 kg/mm rear.
With this kit you set up the S13 for serious track and competition work. The ER is a monotube with a dual piston and an external reservoir, on which you set compression and rebound independently of each other.
This version comes with camber/caster top mounts at the front, giving you more room for adjustment in the alignment of the front axle. For an S13 that has to work hard on track or in drifting, that is a big advantage: you set the steering feel and front grip the way you want.
The spring rate is 8/6 kg/mm, firmer than the standard road kits and suited to a car that is really used. According to BC Racing, this kit also fits the A31.
Key benefits
- 2-way adjustable: compression and rebound each separately in 30 clicks.
- Camber/caster top mounts at the front: more freedom in the alignment of the front axle.
- External reservoir: more oil volume, so more consistent damping under load.
- Dual piston, digressive: firm against roll, supple over fast bumps.
- Fully synthetic oil: with a very high viscosity index for stable behaviour when it gets hot.
- Spring rate 8/6 kg/mm: firm enough for track and drift.
- Concave lock ring: keeps the ride height setting in place.
- Rebuildable: remains usable for years.
Suitable for
Nissan Silvia, 180SX, 200SX and 240SX on the S13 platform, model years 1989 to 1994
- Serious track use and track days
- Drifting where you want to play with camber and caster at the front
- Competition cars that need a 2-way setup

Fitting and delivery
The kit replaces the original struts and dampers all round. Mount the reservoirs securely and away from hot parts. Because the front top mounts are adjustable for camber and caster, a full wheel alignment after fitting is really necessary. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If the manufacturer temporarily does not have it in stock, you can still order and we will keep you informed.
Separate compression and rebound plus adjustable camber and caster at the front: that is how you build an S13 that goes exactly where you steer it.
Why choose this ER coilover kit S13?
Because with a 1-way damper you eventually run into a limit: firmer for turn-in makes the car unsettled on rebound. The ER solves this by separating compression and rebound. Together with the camber/caster top mounts, you have everything in hand to set up the S13 properly for each track.
