BC Racing RM Series Coilover System (2008 - 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX Hatchback / 2008 - 2011 Subaru Impreza Base Hatchback GH8) - F-08-RM
Inverted Coilover Precision for the GH8 WRX & Impreza Hatchback
Enhance the capability and handling response of your 2008 - 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX Hatchback or 2008 - 2011 Subaru Impreza Base Hatchback (GH8) with the BC Racing RM Series Coilover System. Specifically designed for MacPherson-style strut platforms, the RM Series uses a premium inverted mono-tube damper design that shifts the heaviest part of the assembly toward the chassis. This reduces unsprung weight, sharpens suspension reaction time, and increases rigidity - perfect for drivers seeking improved chassis control and stability.
The RM Series also utilizes a large-diameter inverted piston shaft engineered to endure intense lateral loads experienced during aggressive driving, spirited canyon runs, or performance applications. With independent ride height adjustment, 30-way damping control, and fully rebuildable construction, the RM Series is built to deliver strength, precision, and long-term reliability for both WRX and Impreza hatchback owners.
