Thank you for going over the specs and digressive piston. I just put these on my 15 WRX and I am ecstatically pleased. I was running $1100 entry level Blitz coilovers for the past few years. Don't get me wrong those are probably the best cheap entry coils I've ran, but these DS series for a few hundred dollars more it rides even 5 times better, car feels super light and responsive way more refined now.
It's to retain the attention spans of people with tiktok attention spans and brain rot. I could barely watch this honestly. Only 6 minutes and it had like 20 whoosh transition sounds and explosions.
I appreciate the video on the DS Series. I am really liking what people have to say about the brand "BC Racing" overall. It sounds like a lot of people like them. Im having such a hard time understanding ride quality difference between the standard coilover springs and the swift springs, though. Everyone says, "You get better ride quality. Swift springs are smoother." What does that mean exactly? On my old coilovers I had just the standard springs and they were stiff, had very little to no vehicle roll on turns, and had some road noise. I am actually a huge fan of the road noise. I like hearing it. My old coilovers had that road noise, but it wasnt too disturbing/distracting. It had just the right amount of road noise. Will swift springs ruin those aspects that I liked on my old coilovers (AKA: stiffness, no body roll, good amount of road noise, "hugging" the road feel), since it gives a "smoother" ride? Or what does that mean by "smoother" ride? Also if I am such a fan of a stiff ride, should I get a higher spring rate on swift springs or just stick with the same spring rate as what I would get on standard coilover springs? I've seen people go with higher spring rates on swift springs (I was believing this to be because they give a "smoother" ride which I assumed meant the springs are bouncier), which I don't want happening. I am just very confused on the Swift Spring concept. Is there a better way or another way of explaining it? Thank you!
In the simplest terms... GO lower with Swift Spring rates, if your shocks are already valved for a higher rate. Example. 12k get 10k swift springs and they'll perform great for that grip of the road, without being unbearable going over bump terrain. This is my experience, others have said they are softer, which I agree, but their soft still performs at the least +2k more spring rate than advertised.
The lack of spring rates and shock dyno charts on coilover reviews is brutal. 1 year warrantees on dampers is very Chinese. The hardware is always very bling but the actual performance is consistently ignored. They need to perform as well as the stock Koni SAs with the ability to adjust height and corner weight. If all you want is slammed just throw in a set of lowering springs. Camber/Caster option on the kit is nice if you don't already have it.
@Martiniworksunbox So what is the size of the factory twin tube shocks that all vehicle is, such as Japanese 4 banger vehicles? Vs. what is the mm size of the digressive piston on the BC racing coilovers?
Hey I really don't like the fact that you said if you don't care about the ride and you just want to lower your car the GO WITH THE BR.... Paying $1200 for a set of BC BR coilovers in my opinion is not cheap at all. And I've left a few emails asking that if I purchased the BR series for my 07 Lexus SC430 would I be happy having them as a daily setup, so maybe I'm thinking I should be looking for another brand because this just told me I might as well buy Megan Coilovers since they're the next coilover that I was considering... Inform me if I misunderstood you!
Sorry for the miscommunication. That was Alex explaining if someone needs the Swift spring upgrade. He is explaining if the ride enhancement from the swift springs doesn't matter to you, and you're just slamming the car, you will be fine with the BR series. That doesn't mean that they ride bad, he's just explaining that you don't need to upgrade in that instance. Gels daily drives his BC BR series and has for years.
What’s the difference between br,ds,er,zr series can someone explain please ???? And can these coils make my car go super low, I have rev9’s and not happen with the lowness ??
The differences between that lineup are not for going super low. It's more important for tracking the car. If you just want to go low, get the BC Extreme Low series

I love how informed Alex is, amazing content ❤️
Appreciate that

I have not yet tested these on the track, but their street manners are excellent so far !
How do the BC racing DS series coilovers compare to FA510's? I'm torn between the two.
🚙 Just ordered my first set of wheels through y’all! Can’t wait! Also yall have been extremely helpful with my annoying questions 💀
The sound effects used during the transitions are really annoying and distracting. You can do without them
Agreed, I think holding them back a bit would be the best choice.

Agree 100%
I thot I was just hi
Good stuff man

digressive piston design offers increased damping force at low piston velocities while maintaining a linear damper feel at higher piston velocities.

BC Racing NA refused to let me customize a ZR series for a lift... Now I have to settle with DS 😢.

How much that box weight?

Who the hell edited this video😭
*drumroll* *transition*
you didnt explain why digressive pistons are better………..
At 5:00 He says it. Pretty much, when the suspension moves fast, the fluid passes through the digressive valves freely, so the ride isn't harsh/rough.
@@Malficioni stand corrected, thank you
