BC Racing V1 Series

The BC Racing V1 Series uses a large 44mm diameter piston housed within a 50mm diameter damper body.

The larger damper body allows for increased oil capacity within the damper.

As the suspension operates, movement within the damper generates heat. Damper oil viscosity changes as temperature varies, which can influence damping characteristics during prolonged or demanding use.

The increased oil capacity of the V1 design helps manage operating temperatures and maintain more consistent damper behaviour.

4kg/mm Front & 4.5kg/mm Rear Spring Rates

This K13 kit is supplied with:

Front: 4kg/mm
Rear: 4.5kg/mm

The spring rates provide a more performance-focused suspension setup compared with the original factory suspension, helping control vehicle movement during cornering, braking and direction changes.

As with any performance suspension upgrade, the vehicle will generally feel firmer and more direct than it does on the standard Nissan suspension.

Adjustable Ride Height

The coilover arrangement allows the K13's ride height to be adjusted to suit the vehicle and its intended use.

This makes the kit suitable for:

• Road Cars
• Fast-Road Builds
• Track-Day Cars
• Modified Vehicles
• NISMO Builds
• Performance Wheel & Tyre Setups
• Cars Where a Reduced Ride Height is Desired

Ride height should be chosen based on the complete suspension geometry and intended use of the vehicle rather than simply adjusting the coilovers to their lowest possible position.

⚠️ FRONT TOP MOUNTS ARE NOT INCLUDED

The VN Series does not include replacement front top mounts.

The appropriate existing/OEM front mounting arrangement is therefore retained where required.

The condition of the original top mounts, bearings and associated hardware should be inspected carefully during installation.

Worn or damaged mounting components should be replaced rather than transferred onto the new coilovers.

Rear Top Mount Arrangement

Depending on the specific BC Racing application specification, the rear may be supplied with an aluminium rear top mount with a rubber centre or without a replacement rear top mount.

This is normal for the VN configuration and depends on the suspension arrangement used on the vehicle.

Improved Body Control

Replacing the original suspension with a performance coilover system can provide:

• Reduced Body Roll
• Reduced Pitch under Braking
• More Direct Suspension Response
• Improved Steering Feedback
• Adjustable Ride Height
• Greater Control over Vehicle Setup

Actual handling characteristics will depend on the complete vehicle specification, including tyres, wheel alignment, ride height, bushes, anti-roll bars and other suspension components.

⚠️ Lower Isn't Always Better

Although coilovers provide considerably greater control over ride height, setting the vehicle excessively low can negatively affect suspension performance.

Excessive lowering can result in:

• Reduced Suspension Travel
• Bottoming Out
• Altered Suspension Geometry
• Increased Bump Steer
• Increased Tyre Wear
• Reduced Ground Clearance
• Driveshaft Angle Changes
• Tyre-to-Body Contact

A correctly set-up suspension package will generally perform better than one adjusted purely to achieve the lowest possible ride height.

Professional Installation & Alignment Recommended

Coilovers are a major suspension modification and should be installed by a suitably qualified technician.

Following installation, the vehicle should receive a professional four-wheel alignment.

The installer should check:

• Ride Height
• Camber
• Toe
• Wheel & Tyre Clearance
• Brake Hose Routing
• ABS Wiring
• Driveshaft Angles
• Steering Clearance
• Suspension Travel
• Fastener Torque
• Top Mount Condition

The suspension should also be rechecked after an appropriate settling period.
