Product Details

BC Racing DS Series Coilovers for the 1983-1987 Toyota Corolla AE86 blend street-tuned ride quality with track-ready adjustability, giving you more body control than any OEM damper without the harshness of a pure race kit. Every kit is extensively tested on the Corolla AE86 chassis and refined until it balances ride quality with performance — the reason Corolla AE86 coilovers from BC Racing are the best-selling adjustable kits in their segment worldwide.

DS Series kits pair a mono-tube damper with BC's proprietary digressive piston design — increased low-speed damping for flat corner entry, compliant high-speed response over expansion joints and potholes. The finished shock body is silver, visually distinct from the BR Series, and ride height is adjustable independent of spring preload. BC Racing takes pride in choosing spring rates and damper valving that balance comfort and performance — you never end up with the oversprung, harsh-riding kit some brands ship as their only option. Drivers who want to deviate from the factory setup can order Swift Springs, custom spring rates, and custom valving at checkout; BC will re-valve the dampers to match whatever you specify, a level of customization most brands reserve for their top-tier race kits.

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 Corolla AE86 coilovers arrive tuned for the Corolla AE86 chassis and ready to install — note that this is a weld-in kit and requires professional fabrication. 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.
