Mazda MX-5 NA/NB BC Racing BR-RH Coilover Kit

Mazda MX-5 NA/NB BC Racing BR-RH Coilover Kit

Do you want to take your Mazda MX-5 NA or NB's suspension to the next level? This BC Racing BR-RH coilover kit is designed for drivers seeking more control, sharper feedback, and adjustable ride height, without immediately opting for a full race-oriented suspension.

The BR series is a popular choice for street use, spirited driving, and track days. Thanks to its adjustable ride height and damping, you can set up your MX-5 to suit your needs: from a tightly handling street car to a more performance-oriented setup for winding roads or track use. The BR-RH version comes with pillowball top mounts front and rear, providing more direct steering feel and feedback than standard rubber top mounts.

This kit is suitable for Mazda MX-5 NA and NB models from 1990 to 2005. The spring rates of 8 kg/mm at the front and 6 kg/mm at the rear are well-suited for a sporty MX-5 setup where balance, grip, and control are important. This makes this coilover kit interesting for both a fast street car and a car regularly used for track days.

Technical Explanation

The BC Racing BR series uses a monotube damper design with a large 46 mm piston in a 53 mm damper body. Due to the larger oil capacity, damping remains more consistent when the dampers heat up during spirited use. This helps maintain predictable handling, even when the car is pushed harder.

The ride height is adjusted via the lower mounting bracket of the coilover. This allows you to lower the car without unnecessarily losing too much suspension travel. Additionally, the kit features 30-way damper adjustment, where compression and rebound are adjusted together with a single knob. This allows you to relatively easily tune the damping for street use, spirited driving, drift, grip, or track day use.

The BR-RH version is equipped with pillowball top mounts at the front and rear. This provides a more direct feel in the suspension and reduces the flex you might experience with rubber top mounts. However, keep in mind that pillowball top mounts can transmit more noise and vibrations than rubber top mounts. For a sporty MX-5, this is often desirable, but for pure daily comfort, a rubber top mount version might be more pleasant.
