Product Details
BC Racing ER Series Coilovers for the 2008-2015 Audi R8 (42) put race-grade adjustability in reach of the serious track-day driver, with independent compression and rebound tuning at every corner. Every kit is extensively tested on the 42 chassis and refined until it balances ride quality with performance, the reason R8 coilovers from BC Racing are the best-selling adjustable kits in their segment worldwide.
ER Series kits run a linear twin-piston design in a mono-tube body, with compression and rebound on separate external adjusters. That lets you fine-tune chassis balance corner by corner, stiffer front for turn-in, softer rear for exit grip, whatever the session calls for. The off-the-shelf setup from BC Racing is deliberately balanced, spring rates and valving chosen so the kit feels comfortable day-to-day without giving up performance when you push it. Drivers who want a different recipe can spec Swift Springs, custom spring rates, or fully custom valving at checkout; BC will tune the dampers to match, which is a depth of customization most brands only offer on their top-tier kits.
BC Racing has been manufacturing adjustable coilovers since 2004 and is one of the most popular coilover brands in the automotive tuning industry for a reason: competitive pricing, deep customization, proven reliability, and a fully rebuildable damper design that lasts years instead of seasons. These R8 coilovers arrive tuned for the 42 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.
