Your Beat asks for the opposite: 3 kg\/mm front,\n  4 kg\/mm rear, the softest rates BC builds for anything with an H on the hood. That's not BC going easy on\n  you. That's the spec sheet quietly explaining what you already know, that your car has almost nothing in\n  common with the front-heavy Civics everyone else is lowering. The engine is behind your shoulder. The whole\n  car weighs less than some people's wheel and tire setups. You're not lowering a compact car here, you're\n  setting up a go-kart, and it needs to be sprung like one.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Rates Are A Portrait Of Your Car\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Two things drive those numbers. First, weight, or the lack of it. At roughly 1,675 pounds there just isn't\n  much mass to control, and springing a featherweight like a 3,000-pound sedan would turn it into a pogo stick\n  that skips across the road instead of gripping it. Soft here isn't a compromise, it's correct.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Second, where that weight sits. Your Beat is mid-engined and rear-driven, which means the heavy end is out\n  back, and the rear springs have to carry it. That's why the rear gets 4 kg while the front only needs 3.\n  Flip that around on a front-heavy FWD Honda and you'd have it exactly backwards, which is precisely the\n  point. This kit was tested and tuned for a PP1, not adapted from something else with a Honda badge.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIt's A Go-Kart. Build It Like One.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Let's be honest with each other. You are never going to win a drag race. The E07A makes 63 horsepower and it\n  is going to keep making 63 horsepower, and if straight-line speed mattered to you, you'd own something else.\n  That's not the deal you signed up for.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The deal is that your Beat is a go-kart that Honda somehow got street legal. Mid-engine, rear-drive, four\n  wheels at the absolute corners, a roof that comes off, and about as much mass as a go-kart has any business\n  having. Everything that makes a kart addictive is already sitting in your driveway, the immediacy, the way it\n  changes direction the instant you think about it, the sense that the car is an extension of your hands\n  instead of a machine you're operating. Honda built that in at the factory.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Here's the thing though: a kart only works because of what's under it. Nobody puts soft, worn-out suspension\n  and hard tires on a kart and wonders why it feels numb. But that's exactly what a 30-year-old Beat is running\n  right now, tired dampers that have given up and whatever tires were cheapest in the right weird little size.\n  So the car goes vague. It floats. It leans over and washes out where it should be biting. All that go-kart\n  potential is still in there, it's just insulated from you by suspension that quit years ago.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Fix the suspension, put real tires on it, and the Beat stops being a cute old kei car and turns into the\n  thing it always was. Turn-in gets instant. The car stays flat and settled and does what you ask the moment\n  you ask it. You start carrying speed through corners that would have you on the brakes in something with\n  three times the power, arriving at the other end grinning like an idiot with the roof off. That's the whole\n  point of this car, and suspension is the one modification that actually unlocks it. There is no other part\n  on a Beat where your money buys you more.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThirty Clicks To Find Your Car\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  You get 30 clicks of compression and rebound, adjusted together with one knob, about ten seconds a corner.\n  On something this light and this talkative you feel every single click, way more than you would in a heavy\n  car that just swallows the difference. This is kart tuning, small changes, big results, immediate feedback.\n  Soften it for a rough back road and let the car breathe with the surface. Firm it up for smooth pavement or a\n  track day and feel it get pointier. Chase it until the Beat does exactly what your hands expect, then leave\n  it alone and go drive.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eLower It Without Breaking It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Ride height adjusts independently of spring compression here, so you drop the car by moving the lower mount\n  instead of collapsing the spring onto itself. Your suspension keeps its travel and the damper keeps working.\n  That matters enormously on a car with this little ground clearance and this little travel to begin with,\n  crush the springs on a Beat and you'll be scraping and bottoming out on things a normal car wouldn't notice.\n  Do it properly and it sits right and still rides.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eParts Exist For Your Car, Which Is The Whole Point\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Anybody who's imported one knows the real challenge of Beat ownership isn't driving it, it's finding parts\n  for it. So the fact that BC builds a purpose-tested kit for the PP1 at all, with rates chosen for this\n  chassis rather than borrowed from something else, is worth something. These are mono-tube shocks with a\n  linear piston and damping curve, so damping stays predictable through the whole stroke. Two-year warranty\n  against manufacturer defect. And they're fully rebuildable, which on a 30-year-old car you clearly intend to\n  keep is exactly what you want to hear, when they eventually wear, you refresh them instead of hunting for\n  another set. Custom spring rates, Swift springs, and custom valving are available if you want to go further.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBC Racing BR Series coilovers for the 1991-1996 Honda Beat (PP1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 kg\/mm front and 4 kg\/mm rear spring rates, tuned for a mid-engine featherweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30 clicks of simultaneous compression and rebound adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeight adjustment independent of spring compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMono-tube shock design with a linear piston and damping curve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCustom spring rates, Swift springs, and custom valving available\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFully rebuildable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-year warranty against manufacturer defect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFits These Cars\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1991-1996 Honda Beat (PP1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Note: Fully rebuildable and backed by a 2-year warranty against manufacturer defect.
