BC Racing BR-RN Series VAG PQ25/PQ26 Coilover Kit

BC Racing BR-RN Series VAG PQ25/PQ26 Coilover Kit

This is the recommended kit tailored for the PQ25/26 platform, meticulously engineered to strike the perfect balance between performance and comfort. Crafted by the factory, it boasts an optimal compromise in spring rate, ride height range, top mount design, and damping rate, ensuring it aligns seamlessly with the needs of owners.

With its capabilities, this kit is well-equipped to handle both spirited driving on fast roads and tracks. Moreover, it maintains a high level of ride comfort, ensuring that the car remains suitable for everyday tasks and long journeys without inducing fatigue.

The RN series coilover kits are supplied without front top mounts and with aluminium rear top mounts with rubber centre or no rear top mounts

Ride height adjustment
Ride height is determined by the position of the coilover bottom mount. The mount can be wound up and down the damper body to give a full range of adjustment.

Because ride height is determined by an adjustable bottom mount rather than spring platform you retain full damper travel regardless of the ride height run.

Damping adjustment
BR coilovers feature 30 way damping adjustment that combines both rebound and compression in one adjuster for simplicity and ease of use. This adjustable facility allows you to fine tune the vehicle to meet the relevant conditions.

By tweaking front and rear damping you can adjust the way the car handles. Increasing damping force on the rear relative to the front, for example, will start moving the vehicle into a more oversteer orientated stance.

If you want to go drag racing in a rear wheel drive car then you want the back of the car to squat off the line to maximise weight transfer to the rear and therefore onto the rear tyres. This maximises traction and helps prevent wheel spin. To achieve this you would soften the rear dampers to allow faster compression. If you had the rear dampers set to hard, as you might run the car on a race track, then the car would be less inclined to squat so traction would be reduced.

Conversely, if you want to go drifting and are finding it hard to break traction and are having problems with understeer then making the rear dampers harder will help reduce traction whilst making the front dampers softer will give greater front traction. This will make the rear of the car looser whilst minimising understeer thus altering the vehicles handling characteristics more towards drift than drag, road or track.

What does PQ25/PQ26 mean?
PQ25/PQ26 is the chassis designation of the VAG A05/A06 platform. This includes the following vehicles:
– VW Polo 6R/6C
– Seat Ibiza 6J/6P
– Skoda Fabia 5J
– Audi A1 8X (NOT S1)

Vehicles with electronic dampers will need a delete kit to avoid a warning light when fitting.
