Volvo has built its name on safety and substance – a badge that never had to chase attention because the engineering underneath always spoke for itself. Air suspension gives that engineering a whole new dimension. Your 2nd Gen S40 keeps the composed, planted ride Volvo built it around, while gaining the ability to drop your Volvo S40 low for a stance that finally gives this platform some real presence, and air back up whenever comfort and clearance matter more. It's the same understated confidence Volvo's built its name on, just with a lot more range.
Want to bag your Volvo S40 but not sure where to start? Bag Riders has kits and management packages to fit your setup. Questions? Reach out and we'll get you on air ride fast.

BC Racing BR Series Coilovers for Volvo S40 V50 P1 AWD https://www.bagriders.com/media/catalog/product/cache/439c27ae68db3aa2c9619e8f902649db/b/c/bc-racing-br-series-coilover-kit_11.jpg
BC Racing BR Series Coilovers for the Volvo S40 V50 P1 AWD are the best-selling entry point into fully adjustable
coilover suspension. BC Racing is known to deliver real handling performance without sacrificing ride comfort or
daily drivability. This setup is developed and tested specifically for the Volvo S40 V50 P1 AWD, built around a
mono-tube damper with 30-way damping adjustment and ride height adjustable independent of spring preload.
Features
Mono-tube shock design
Linear piston and damping curve
Height adjustment via shock body (independent of spring preload)
Front camber plates standard on applicable kits
Rear camber plates available where applicable
30 way damping adjustment
Custom spring rates and Swift springs available
1 year warranty against manufacturer defects
Fully rebuildable
Converting BC Racing Coilovers to Air Suspension
BR Series coilovers on the Volvo S40 V50 P1 AWD aren't locked into a coil spring setup for life. Because they feature
fully-threaded shock bodies, these coilovers convert to a full air suspension setup by simply removing the coil
springs and threading on a set of coilover conversion
bags in their place. Want to start out with coils and move to air suspension in the future? This makes
the BR Series a practical starting point for owners who want coilover-level adjustability now but may want to
move to air suspension down the road, or who want to keep that option open without committing to a full air ride
kit up front.

Spring Rate Upgrades
The standard springs on BC Racing coilovers work well for most builds, but if you're chasing a specific stance
or feel, the BR Series can be upgraded to a custom spring rate at checkout:
Custom Spring Rates for BC Racing
Coilovers (4 Corner) - spec your own spring rates up to 20k, installed on your coilovers in place of
the standard springs by BC Racing before shipping.
Swift Springs Upgrade for Coilovers (4
Corner)Swift Springs Upgrade for Coilovers (4 Corner) - for spring rates above 20k, or for Swift's
faster reacting spring material, installed in place of the standard springs.
Both options replace the standard springs entirely - you won't receive the stock springs alongside a custom
spring rate order. To order simply add either one of the above products to your car with this set of coilovers
or reach out and we can help you with placing the order.

BC Racing BR Series Coilovers (Extreme Low) for Volvo S40 V50 P1 AWD https://www.bagriders.com/media/catalog/product/cache/439c27ae68db3aa2c9619e8f902649db/b/c/bc-racing-br-series-coilover-kit_11.jpg
BC Racing BR Series Extreme Low Coilovers for the Volvo S40 V50 P1 AWD are built for an aggressive, show-ready drop
beyond what a standard coilover kit delivers - using a shock and spring package roughly 20mm shorter for about
1" of additional drop on most applications. The shortened shock length preserves usable damper travel at a lower
stance, and the kit keeps the same 30-way adjustable mono-tube damper and independent ride-height adjustment as
the rest of the BR Series lineup.
Features
Extreme Low shock and spring package - approximately 20mm shorter for a lower installed height
Mono-tube shock design
Linear piston and damping curve
Height adjustment via shock body (independent of spring preload)
Front camber plates standard on applicable kits
Rear camber plates available where applicable
30 way damping adjustment
Custom spring rates and Swift springs available
1 year warranty against manufacturer defects
Fully rebuildable
What Makes These Coilovers "Extreme Low"
BC Racing Extreme Low coilovers use a shock and spring combination roughly 20mm shorter than a standard coilover
setup, which translates to approximately 1 inch of additional drop over a standard kit on most applications.
Since the damper itself is physically shorter, you get a lower ride height while still retaining usable
suspension travel - instead of running a standard kit with the springs drooped low and the shock riding near
fully compressed. Spring rates on Extreme Low kits may be stiffer than the standard equivalent depending on the
platform, which can sharpen handling response but may also make bumps a bit harsher.
