Product Details

These BC Racing ZX Series coilovers fit the 2004-2011 Mazda RX-8. They bring the same three-axis adjustability as the race-spec ZR Series with valving tuned for drivers who split time between street and track. Every kit is extensively tested on the RX-8 SE3P chassis and refined until it balances ride quality with performance, the reason RX-8 coilovers from BC Racing are the best-selling adjustable kits in their segment worldwide.

ZX Series kits share the three-axis damper architecture of the race-spec ZR Series, tuned out of the box for drivers who want race-grade adjustability without the ride harshness on the commute home. Where BC Racing separates itself is tuning philosophy: every off-the-shelf spring rate and damper setup is chosen to stay comfortable on daily roads while still delivering real performance at the track. If you want something different, Swift Springs, custom rates, and custom valving are all options at checkout, BC will match the valving of the dampers to whatever springs you pick, something most brands don't offer outside their flagship race lineup.

Since 2004, BC Racing has grown into one of the most trusted names in aftermarket coilovers, not by racing to the bottom on price, but by pairing that price with real build quality, deep customization options, and a damper design any suspension shop can rebuild instead of replacing. These RX-8 coilovers arrive tuned for the SE3P chassis and ready to bolt in, no break-in period, no guessing at setup. Every kit ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty, lifetime access to BC service parts (pistons, seals, shafts, no unit replacement required when it's time for a rebuild), and in-house tech support from both BC Racing and the Springrates team.
