BC Racing BR Series Coilovers for 90-93 Integra

BC Racing BR Series Coilovers - 1990-1993 Acura Integra (DA/DB)

Something changed with these cars in the last few years and you've probably felt it. The DA used to be the cheap Integra, the one you bought because a DC2 was out of reach, the one people cut up without thinking twice. Not anymore. Pop the headlights up in a parking lot now and people come over. Clean ones aren't cheap and they aren't getting cheaper. Your DA quietly stopped being a beater and turned into something worth keeping, which changes how you should be spending money on it.

You're Not Modifying A Used Car Anymore

That's the shift. There was a time when the right move on a DA was whatever was cheapest, because the car owed you nothing and you'd probably move on in two years. That math doesn't work now. When you're building something you actually intend to have in ten years, the cheapest option stops being the smart option, it just means you're buying it twice.

Which is exactly why these make sense here. The BR Series is fully rebuildable. When they eventually wear out a decade from now, you send them in and get them refreshed instead of hunting down another set for a car that gets harder to shop for every year. That's not a throwaway line on a 33-year-old Acura, that's the entire argument. Buy suspension once, keep adjusting it forever.

Whatever's Under There Now Is Done

Be honest about what you're currently riding on. Either it's original, in which case those dampers gave up sometime during the Bush administration, or it's whatever a previous owner bolted on to make it sit lower for a few hundred bucks. Neither one is controlling anything anymore. The car floats over crests, takes a beat to settle after a bump, and goes vague right when you start asking questions of it. That's not the DA's character, that's just worn out. There's a genuinely sharp car under there waiting for something to hold it together.

9 Front, 4 Rear, And Why Those Numbers

This kit runs 9 kg/mm front and 4 kg/mm rear, which is the same rate BC puts under an EF Civic. That's not laziness, it's geometry. Your DA has double wishbones at all four corners, and on a wishbone setup the spring mounts inboard on the arm, so the wheel travels further than the spring does and a good chunk of that rate never reaches the ground. Wishbone cars need a stiff spring on paper to land at a sensible stiffness at the tire. Strut cars don't, which is why BC's EP3 kit runs 6 kg front and nobody should be alarmed by either number. Different suspension, different math, same destination.

And BC didn't just pick the stiffest thing on the shelf, which is what half this industry does. These rates give you real body control on a light chassis without the car punishing you on the drive home. If you want to go a different direction, custom spring rates, Swift springs, and custom valving matched to your rates are all available.

Thirty Clicks, One Knob

You get 30 clicks of compression and rebound, adjusted together, about ten seconds a corner. On a car this light you feel every click, there's no mass to swallow the difference. Soften it for a cruise or a rough road, firm it up when you want the car to get pointy, and change your mind as often as you like.

Low Without Ruining The Ride

Ride height adjusts independently of spring compression, so you set the height by moving the lower mount instead of collapsing the spring. Your suspension keeps its travel and the damper keeps doing its job. That's the difference between a DA that sits right and drives beautifully and one that sits right and rattles your fillings out, and it's the thing cut springs and cheap sleeves can never give you at any price.

RS Type Top Mounts

This set uses RS type top mounts, which mount with rubber. The rubber isolates noise and vibration instead of transmitting every impact straight into the chassis, which is the right call for a car you're preserving and driving rather than trailering to a track. It stays civil, and civil is what keeps you driving it instead of leaving it in the garage.
