BC Racing ZR Series Coilover System (2008 - 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX Hatchback / 2008 - 2011 Subaru Impreza Base Hatchback - GH8) - F-08-ZR
Ultimate Adjustable Coilovers for the GH8 WRX & Impreza Hatch
Unleash full suspension control in your 2008 - 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX Hatchback or 2008 - 2011 Impreza Base Hatchback (GH8) with the BC Racing ZR Series Coilover System - the most adjustable and track-focused kit BC Racing offers. Designed for racers and serious drivers who need more tuning precision than the ER or HM Series provides, the ZR Series features 15-click low-speed compression, 12-click high-speed compression, and a massive 30-click rebound adjustment. McPherson-strut Subarus like the GH8 WRX receive inverted mono-tube dampers for increased rigidity and heat resistance, paired with remote external reservoirs connected by steel-braided lines. With Swift Springs included standard and full ride height adjustment independent of preload, the ZR Series gives GH-chassis owners true motorsport-level control.

- 15-click low-speed compression tuning optimizes roll, pitch, and chassis balance.
- 12-click high-speed compression control refines behavior over bumps, ruts, and curbing.
- 30-click rebound adjustment regulates damper recovery and stability through transitions.
- External remote reservoirs expand oil volume and increase thermal consistency.
- Steel-braided lines or hard stems depending on damper layout and chassis.
- Swift Springs included for lightweight, high-response performance.
- Independent ride height adjustment ensures consistent shock stroke and geometry.
- Front and rear camber plates included where applicable for precise alignment tuning.
