Every kit is extensively tested on the W218 chassis and refined until it balances ride quality with performance — the reason CLS Class Sedan w\/o Airmatic coilovers from BC Racing are the best-selling adjustable kits in their segment worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDS 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 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 CLS Class Sedan w\/o Airmatic coilovers arrive tuned for the W218 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-level simultaneous compression\/rebound damping adjuster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMono-tube damper with BC's proprietary digressive piston\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver satin-chrome finished shock body (visually distinct from the BR Series)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRide height adjustable independent of spring preload\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper mount hardware varies by chassis — camber plates, pillowball, or reused OEM mounts.
