BC Racing Questions Answered
BC Racing coilovers are a popular upgrade for drivers who want more control over the way their car looks, feels and handles. With options ranging from the road-friendly BR Series through to more advanced DS, RM and ER kits, there’s a setup to suit everything from daily driving and fast road use to more focused track builds.
Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions we get about BC Racing coilovers, including ride comfort, height adjustment, damping control, track use and which series might be right for your car.
Which BC Racing coilovers are best for road use?
For most road and fast road cars, we’d usually point people towards the BC Racing BR Series. It’s the most popular all-round option because it gives you ride height adjustment, 30-way damping adjustment and a monotube damper design, while still being usable day to day. It’s a solid choice if you want better stance and sharper handling without going too extreme.
What is the difference between BC Racing BR and DS coilovers?
The BR Series is the go-to road and track option, while the DS Series takes things a step further with digressive valving. In simple terms, DS coilovers give stronger low-speed damping control, which helps with body roll, braking dive and weight transfer, while still allowing the wheel to deal with bumps and kerbs more effectively. We’d usually suggest DS if you want something more track-biased than BR.
Are BC Racing coilovers height and damping adjustable?
Yes. BC Racing coilovers are designed to give you both ride height and damping adjustment. Many kits use 30 clicks of damping adjustment, combining compression and rebound through one adjuster, which makes them straightforward to fine-tune for road, fast road or track use. Ride height is also adjusted separately from spring preload on many kits, helping retain proper damper travel.
Are BC Racing coilovers good for track days?
Yes, but the right series depends on how serious the car is. BR Series is a solid choice for fast road and occasional track days, while DS and RM offer more control for harder use. ER Series is better for serious track day, drift and race cars thanks to its external reservoirs and separate compression and rebound adjustment. For dedicated track day vehicles, ZX and ZR Series are the more focused options.
What are BC Racing ZX and ZR coilovers for?
ZX and ZR Series coilovers are aimed more at dedicated track day and competition-style vehicles rather than normal daily road cars. They’re designed for drivers who need more setup control and are comfortable making damping changes to suit tyres, circuits, weather and driving style. For most road cars they’re probably overkill, but for a serious track build they make much more sense.
What is the difference between true rear and integrated rear coilovers?
On some cars, the rear spring and damper are separate from factory. An integrated rear setup keeps that separate-style layout, with the spring and damper remaining in their original positions. A true rear coilover converts the rear to a coilover-style layout, where the spring sits around the damper. True rear can offer more precise adjustment and packaging benefits for track setups, but it’s not always the best option for every car. We’d always recommend choosing the correct layout for the vehicle and how it’s going to be used.
Do BC Racing coilovers need setting up after fitting?
Yes, definitely. Once fitted, we’d always recommend checking ride height, damping settings and getting a proper wheel alignment carried out. For more serious track setups, especially ER, ZX or ZR Series, corner weighting and geometry setup are well worth doing so you actually get the benefit from the extra adjustment.
I have EDC, what can I do?
If your car has EDC, or electronic damping control, you can still fit BC Racing coilovers, but you’ll normally need an EDC cancellation kit to prevent dashboard warning lights. The coilovers replace the factory electronic dampers, so the car can no longer adjust the damping electronically. Instead, damping is adjusted manually on the coilovers themselves. If you’re unsure whether your car has EDC, send us your registration or vehicle details and we can help check before you order.

Endless Brake Pads FAQs
Not sure which Endless brake pad compound to choose? These are the questions we get asked most often about Endless pads, including MX72 Plus, ME22 and fitments for popular BMW models such as the M140i and M2 with 2NH calipers.
Which Endless brake pad compound should I choose?
The right Endless compound depends on how you use the car. For fast road and occasional track day use, MX72 Plus is usually a strong starting point. Endless lists MX72 Plus as suitable for both street driving and track days, with a 50–750°C heat range. For more committed track use, ME22 offers a higher 150–800°C heat range and is listed for race cars and street/trackday cars. For dedicated motorsport use, compounds such as N35S may be more suitable.
Are Endless brake pads good for road use?
Yes, selected Endless compounds are suitable for road use, but the compound choice matters. MX72 Plus is the most relevant option for fast road and mixed road/track use, as Endless lists it under street use and describes it as suitable for street driving and track days. More track-focused compounds may introduce extra noise, dust and low-speed compromise depending on the car and setup.
Are Endless MX72 Plus pads good for track days?
Yes. Endless offers several compounds suited to track day use. MX72 Plus is suitable for street and track day use, while ME22 is a better option where higher brake temperatures are expected. For dedicated race or rally use, Endless offers more motorsport-focused compounds such as N35S.
What is the difference between Endless MX72 Plus and ME22?
MX72 Plus is the more road-biased street/track day compound, with a listed friction range of 0.39–0.47μ and a 50–750°C heat range. ME22 is a more track-focused compound with a lower listed friction range of 0.33–0.38μ but a higher 150–800°C heat range. In simple terms, MX72 Plus is usually the better choice for mixed road and occasional track use, while ME22 makes more sense for harder or more regular circuit driving.
Do Endless brake pads need bedding in?
Yes. Endless brake pads should be bedded in correctly. Endless’ own competition pad bedding guidance advises checking the discs first, cleaning away old compound residue where needed, then carrying out a controlled bedding cycle before full use. Correct bedding helps the pad and disc work together properly and supports consistent performance.
Are Endless brake pads noisy?
Any performance brake pad can produce some noise depending on the compound, caliper design, disc condition, bedding-in and how the car is used. Road-biased compounds such as MX72 Plus are generally the more sensible choice for mixed road use, while more track-focused compounds may be more likely to make noise at low speeds.
Do Endless brake pads produce a lot of dust?
Dust levels depend on the compound, vehicle and driving style. As a general rule, higher-performance brake pads can produce more dust than a standard road pad. This is part of the trade-off for stronger braking performance, better pedal feel and improved consistency under harder use.
Can I use Endless pads with standard brake discs?
In most cases, yes, provided the discs are in good condition and suitable for the compound being fitted. Endless’ bedding guidance specifically says the discs should be checked for cracks or damage, and old compound residue should be cleaned away where needed. For track use, we would also recommend checking brake fluid, disc condition and overall brake system health before fitting upgraded pads.
Should I upgrade brake fluid when fitting Endless pads?
If the car is being used hard on the road or on track, yes. Upgraded pads can handle more heat, but old or low-performance brake fluid can still become the weak point. For track use, we recommend pairing Endless pads with a high-performance brake fluid such as Motul RBF660 or Motul RBF700.
Are Endless brake pads worth the money?
Yes, if you are looking for better braking performance, pedal feel and consistency than a standard road pad can offer. Endless pads are premium products, so the value comes from choosing the right compound for how you actually use the car. For fast road and occasional track use, MX72 Plus is usually the most sensible starting point. For harder track use, ME22 or a more motorsport-focused compound may be the better choice.
