Product Details

BC Racing ER Series Coilovers for the 2017-2021 BMW 230i RWD (F22) 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 RWD chassis and refined until it balances ride quality with performance, the reason 230i 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. 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.

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 230i coilovers arrive tuned for the RWD 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.
