Description
Lexus GXE10/JCE10 IS200 IS300 (99-05) BC Racing ZX coilover kit 10/6 kg/mm
The BC Racing ZX coilover kit Lexus IS200 (part number R-01-ZX) 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 ZX series is the 3-way coilover kit from BC Racing, made for competitive track use, long sessions and demanding drift work. It combines the digressive upright monotube of the DS series with the external reservoir of the ER series.
For the IS200 and IS300 this means three separate settings: 20 clicks of low-speed compression, 12 clicks of high-speed compression and 30 clicks of rebound. At 10/6 kg/mm the springs are the same as those of the BR and DS, so the step up is mainly in damping and adjustment options.
Key benefits
- 3-way adjustable: low-speed and high-speed compression and rebound each adjustable separately.
- External reservoir: upright monotube with twin piston and a separate oil reservoir.
- Digressive piston: firm damping at slow body movements.
- Race oil with a very high viscosity index: intended for long sessions.
- Replaceable upper mounting: camber plates on suitable kits, rubber top mounts optional.
- Spring rate 10/6 kg/mm: for the Lexus IS200 and IS300 (GXE10/JCE10).
- Track and drift: competitive track use, long sessions and demanding drift work.
- Rebuildable: the dampers can be rebuilt.

Fitting and delivery
The kit is vehicle-specific and replaces the original dampers and springs. We recommend having it fitted by an experienced mechanic. Knowledge of reservoir dampers is an advantage here; after setting the ride height, also have the wheel alignment set. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If the kit is temporarily unavailable from BC Racing, you can still order and we will let you know the expected delivery date.
The BC Racing ZX kit R-01-ZX for the Lexus IS200 and IS300 is 3-way adjustable, with 20 clicks of low-speed compression, 12 clicks of high-speed compression and 30 clicks of rebound.
Why choose this ZX coilover kit Lexus IS200?
If you drive long sessions with an IS200 or IS300 or take up drifting seriously, you benefit from more adjustment options than a 1-way kit offers. The ZX gives you three separate damping settings, an external reservoir and race oil with a very high viscosity index. The dampers are rebuildable, so you can have them rebuilt after a hard season.
