BC Racing Coilover For CR-Z ( BR Series )

BR Series Street and Circuit Coilover


Pillowball upper mount
Camber adjustable top mounts
Aluminium top plates
30 way adjustable damping
Adjustable spring platform
Height adjustment via bottom mount to retain full damper travel
Bearing mounted upper front spring platform
Dust boot to protect damper seals
* some features are dependent on model

The BR series coilovers use a large 46mm diameter piston in a 53mm diameter damper body to maximise oil capacity.

As the damper unit opearates the oil contained within heats up. The viscosity of oil changes as its temperature varies which can lead to changes in the damping characteristic of the unit.

BC Racing only use a very high quality oil with their coilovers but go that extra mile to maximise performance and build their BR range with a large 53mm diameter damper body. This increases the capacity of the unit which increases the volume of oil contained which in turn reduces the peak temperature and so significantly improves damper performance.

Corner weight adjustment:

The lower spring platform of the BC Racing coilovers are adjustable. This allows the car to be set up for corner weighting to achieve perfect balance and ensures that maximum tyre efficiency is achieved.

The car needs to be placing equal weight on each tyre on an axle so both front tyres need to be taking equal loading as do both rears. This makes sure that both tyres are doing their equal share of work when cornering which increases overall grip, maximises corner speed and reduces lap times.

Optional assister springs can be purchased to allow wheel droop to be dialled into the unit to suit specific needs.

Takeda Intake System CR-Z ProDryS


The all new Takeda Momentum Sealed Intake System produces up to 7HP and 8 lbs. x ft. of torque over stock, while outflowing the factory intake by 57%. Each intake uses a large 360 degree high flow PRO DRY S air filter for maximum flow, filtration and convenience.  The PRO DRY S air filter requires no oils and cleans with simple soap and water. Also included is a wrinkle black rotomolded intake tube designed to increase airflow for maximum torque. Takeda intakes come complete with all necessary hardware. This system fits both the 6 speed and CVT transmission vehicles

Built-In Air Scoop:
Features a one-piece rotomolded air box that incorporates a built-in air scoop opening that captures cold air from the front of the vehicle.

"Rounded Nose" Filter Top:
An aerodynamic rounded filter top is used to reduce air resistance and direct airflow smoothly into the intake track.

Housing/Air Filter Interface:
This intake system features a unique patent pending filter to air box interface that creates a flawless seal.

"Loop" Intake Tube:
This Momentum intake system features a unique "looped" tube engineered to improve low-end torque.
