Description
Nissan S12 S12 (83-88) BC Racing DS Series Coilovers | 6/4kg.mm
The BC Racing DS Series Coilovers for Nissan S12 S12 (83-88) deliver performance-focused suspension tuning with a 6/4kg.mm spring rate configuration engineered for responsive handling and reliable durability. These coilovers offer adjustable ride height and damping characteristics, making them a popular choice among enthusiasts seeking to enhance their classic Nissan's chassis dynamics. Built with BC Racing's proven engineering, the DS Series provides the adjustability needed for both road driving and track applications on your S12 S12 (83-88).
BC Racing DS Series Coilovers
The BC Racing DS Coilover system is built with digressive valving, offering the same great benefits of the BR Series and is considered a perfect choice for those looking for track-biased coilovers. The digressive piston design produces a non-linear damping curve — allowing higher low-speed damping to control body roll through cornering, acceleration and braking, while providing reduced high-speed damping to allow the wheel to travel when running kerbs, preventing the impact from transmitting fully into the shell and retaining car balance.

Digressive Piston Valving
Unlike a conventional linear piston, the DS digressive design increases damping force at low piston velocities — the range associated with body roll, pitch and dive during driven inputs — while reducing damping force at high piston velocities, such as when a wheel travels over a kerb. This keeps the car stable during cornering loads while allowing impacts to be absorbed without upsetting the chassis balance.
