BC Racing RM Series Coilover System (1995 - 1999 Subaru Legacy BD / BG / BK) - F-09-RM
Inverted Coilover Performance for the Second-Gen Legacy
Upgrade the handling and chassis response of your 1995 - 1999 Subaru Legacy BD/BG/BK with the BC Racing RM Series Coilover System. Designed for MacPherson-style Subaru platforms, the RM Series utilizes BC's advanced inverted mono-tube damper design, positioning the heaviest damper mass closer to the chassis. This significantly reduces unsprung weight, improving steering precision, stability, and suspension reaction - an excellent enhancement for aging Legacy platforms being restored or modified.
A large-diameter inverted piston shaft reinforces the system's ability to handle sustained lateral loads, ensuring consistent damping and reliability even under spirited driving. With independent ride height control, 30-way damping adjustment, and full rebuildability, the RM Series brings modern suspension tuning capability to a classic Subaru chassis.
