BC Racing DS Type Coilovers Mercedes CLS-Class W218 Sedan 2012-2019 - Digressive Piston

BC Racing DS Type Coilovers Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class W218 Sedan 2012-2019

Experience sharper handling and superior driver feedback with BC Racing DS Series Coilovers. The DS Type features a proprietary digressive piston design that provides firm low-speed damping for excellent body control while allowing smoother, more compliant response at higher speeds — ideal for spirited street driving, canyons, and track days.

What Are Digressive Shocks?

Unlike traditional linear shocks that apply consistent damping force, digressive shocks deliver higher damping force at low piston speeds (when the car is rolling, pitching, or making small weight transfers) and then taper off at higher speeds. This gives you better chassis control and reduced body movement during cornering and braking, while still soaking up larger bumps comfortably.

Spring Rates & Handling Characteristics

This kit comes with 6kg/mm front and 15kg/mm rear springs as default. The relatively soft front rate helps maintain good ride comfort and steering feel on the street, while the significantly stiffer rear rate reduces squat under acceleration and improves stability during hard cornering. Overall, expect a sportier, more planted feel with reduced body roll compared to stock — without being overly harsh for daily driving.
