Coilover Type: RA (True Rear Coilover)
BC Racing BR Series coilovers for the Honda Civic EM2 / ES1 / EP1 / EP2 (2001–2005 EU models) are designed to significantly improve handling precision, chassis control, and ride height adjustability while maintaining everyday usability for road-driven vehicles.
This kit features a true rear coilover (RA-type) configuration, replacing the factory separate rear spring and damper setup with a unified coilover assembly. This design allows for more accurate rear suspension control, consistent damping behaviour, and precise ride height adjustment compared to the OEM suspension layout.
The 6 / 9 kg/mm spring rate combination is optimised for the Civic EM2 / ES1 / EP1 / EP2 chassis, providing increased rear stability, reduced body roll, and improved balance under acceleration, braking, and cornering. This setup is especially suitable for drivers seeking a more planted rear end while retaining road comfort for daily driving.
As part of BC Racing’s proven BR Series, this suspension provides a versatile upgrade suitable for daily driving and fast road applications.
