These coilovers offer adjustable damping and ride height to suit your driving requirements, making them an ideal choice for enthusiasts seeking improved suspension dynamics. Whether you're optimising daily driving comfort or preparing for spirited driving, the BC Racing DS Series provides the performance upgrade your SKODA OCTAVIA RS 1U (96-04) deserves.

BC Racing DS Series Coilovers

The BC Racing DS Coilover system is built with digressive valving, offering the same great benefits of the BR Series and is considered a perfect choice for those looking for track-biased coilovers. The digressive piston design produces a non-linear damping curve — allowing higher low-speed damping to control body roll through cornering, acceleration and braking, while providing reduced high-speed damping to allow the wheel to travel when running kerbs, preventing the impact from transmitting fully into the shell and retaining car balance.

• Camber adjustable top mounts (depending on model)
• Tapered bottom mount locking collar to prevent collar working loose
• Custom spring rates available
• All spare parts available with low lead times
• Dust boot to protect damper seals
• 1 year manufacturer warranty

Digressive Piston Valving

Unlike a conventional linear piston, the DS digressive design increases damping force at low piston velocities — the range associated with body roll, pitch and dive during driven inputs — while reducing damping force at high piston velocities, such as when a wheel travels over a kerb. This keeps the car stable during cornering loads while allowing impacts to be absorbed without upsetting the chassis balance.
