BC Racing BR Series Coilovers for 02-06 RSX DC5

BC Racing BR Series Coilovers - 2002-2006 Acura RSX / 2001-2006 Honda Integra Type R (DC5) (A-07-BR)

You've got one of the sharpest-handling front-drive Hondas ever built, so why's it still riding up in the fenders on tired stock struts? The BC Racing BR Series is how a lot of DC5 owners fix that without overthinking it. It's the coilover BC sells more of than anything else, and it's the cheapest one they make, and it gives you the two things you're really after: a clean drop you set yourself, and damping you can dial from daily-soft to track-firm with a twist of the knob. It even comes in two versions, Standard and Extreme Low, so you're calling how low you go before you order. Bolt it on, set your height, and your RSX or Integra Type R sits right and drives even better than it looks.

Here's What Tired Stock Suspension Is Costing You

Worn factory struts take away the exact thing a DC5 is built for. It floats over bumps, the nose dives when you brake, and it rolls through corners it used to flatten out. You feel it most when you push it, it'll go soft and vague right when you want it planted. And you're stuck with that tall factory fender gap, because stock springs only sit one place. Coilovers fix both at once. You'll get real damping that keeps the body flat and the tires down, plus the height set wherever you want it. On a car this eager to turn in, you'll feel the difference pulling out of your own driveway.

Spring Rates BC Actually Tested On The DC5

Here's what separates the BR from the bargain coilovers. BC didn't just bolt on a stiff spring and call it done. They tested this kit on the DC5 and went with a softer front and a stiffer rear, which is what this chassis wants, so you're planted instead of getting rattled loose by an oversprung ride. Underneath it's a 53mm mono-tube shock, a real damper you'll rebuild down the road instead of throwing away, and BC's concave lower locking ring keeps your height from creeping once it's set. Pillowball top mounts tighten up the steering, and on the DC5 the front camber plates are right in the box, so you'll get your alignment honest after the drop.

Standard Or Extreme Low: How Low Are You Going?

This is the call to make before you buy. Standard runs 6kg front and 9kg rear, sits about an inch under stock at its tallest, and drops 2.5 to 3 inches all the way down. That's the one most people should grab, a sharp, clean drop that still rides great every day. Extreme Low goes further, 7kg front and 12kg rear, sitting about 2 inches under stock at the top and close to 4 inches at the bottom. Those stiffer springs aren't for show, they're what keep the car off the bump stops once you've dropped it that far. Building a stance or show car and want it tucked? That's your kit. Just want a great-looking daily? Go Standard. Real talk: Extreme Low rides firmer and gives up some travel for that height, so don't grab it just because the number's bigger.

30 Clicks, Soft Enough To Daily Or Firm Enough To Push

Either version gives you 30 clicks of compression and rebound off a single knob, so you're never stuck with one feel. Want it plush for the commute? Back it off. Heading up a canyon road or out to an autocross? Firm it up in a couple minutes. Height adjusts on its own thread, separate from the spring, so you'll sit low without giving up all your shock travel. And if the tuning bug bites later, you can spec custom spring rates, Swift springs, or matched valving without buying a whole new kit. The DC5's rear adjusters tuck up under the back of the car, so BC's got rear damping extenders if you'd rather not reach for them every time.

Fits Every DC5

This one covers the whole DC5 family: the 2002-2006 Acura RSX in both Base and Type S, and the 2001-2006 Honda Integra Type R. Coilovers bolt to the chassis, so the same A-07-BR fits no matter which K20 is up front. One honest heads-up worth planning for: drop any DC5 and the rear tucks into negative camber, so you'll want to budget for a rear camber kit and an alignment when you install. It'll save your inside tire edges, and BC's got rear camber plates for exactly that.
