Why Choose the BC Racing DS Series?
The GC chassis is beloved for its raw, analog driving experience - making it the perfect match for the DS Series. The digressive damping profile tightens up low-speed movements such as roll, pitch, and quick transitions, giving your WRX more responsiveness and stability in aggressive driving scenarios. Meanwhile, the smooth high-speed behavior keeps the ride compliant and controlled on imperfect pavement. Whether your build is street-focused, rally-inspired, or a weekend backroad toy, the DS Series delivers predictable, confidence-inspiring performance.
FAQs
