Hi All
Has anybody had the BC coilovers fitted to their car?
Any feedback on the quality of the product and feel of the ride would be appreciated.

Regards Tony

Quality not too bad.

Ride is pretty good, I haven't been in it with different dampening, but the time I went in, it was quite stiff but not back breaking.

Bang for buck, very good.

I just bought a set, you can make them firm for the track and nice and soft for the street. They are height adjustable in length too. The only thing i didn't know that might have put me off is there is no seperate adj for bump and rebound. Just the 1 knob on top. I did go over 2 seconds faster at phillip island in damp conditions with them in.

If your stroll over to the JDM forum there is an exact same thread going on, there a few members complaining of blown shock after 20k of street driving.
