[quote="Regie" I have found them a bit bounce in the rear, but i will let them settle first before i adjust anything.

good stuff. Report back what changes you make, if any, and for what circumstances. As in road or track

good day today, those shocks rock on the track, started off with winding them up 5 clicks from full hard, nice and stiff through the corners, second session put them up full hard, and man its rock solid around the track.
after some mucking around with the setup in the arvo and some tips from the 5th gear instructors i dropped just under 4 seconds off my morning time.

i feel to go quicker ill be needing a proper seat and harness, im sliding all round the place oh and some R specs

best $1K ive spent

Ill do a full report in the coming days, im off to bed...im rooted! and want to hit the surf early in the morning

so Regie how were your lap times compared to koni/king combo? And is soft setting on the street quite comfy?

You know, these look VERY similar to my G4 coilovers.

[zorak]

...which look similar to BCs

[RG.net]

The BC's don't affect spring preload on the rear though, the whole design is different to these.



There Yellow Speeds appear to be identical to the G4/D2/K-sport range, just coloured like BC's.

I'll be switching my G4's out for some BC's soon, I'm sick of the bouncing in the ass end of the car.

[zorak]

You're right RG, I only looked at the fronts - kind of weird to have spring and height adjustment on the front but not the rears?

[Regie]

mine look exactly like those BC's

mine was the first set to have adjustable shock bases on the rear as well as spring perches

[RG.net]

Now that's interesting!

So they might have switched suppliers which produce the BC's?

I'll need to get a ride in your car Regie, before I go on the hunt for new coilovers.

Hey Guys!

We asked Yellowspeed to develop these coilovers with the adjustable base to compete with rival companies. We used these last weekend in the Wakefield 300km race. The Mx5's that finished 1st and 2nd both had the premium competition coilovers in them..
David also did a 1:06.8 in Goldie during the weekend... (there is no turbo on that car )

Hear are some pictures of both types of coilovers which all now have the adjustable base at the rear.

Would someone be able to give me an idea of how the new ysr coilovers stack up to the BC ones? I've been looking into getting a set of BC's for ages but recently been reading up on the yellowspeed coilovers and I'm unsure which to go for. The YSR are a lot cheaper but seem far better value, especially the competition spec ones with the heavier springs.

Would anyone be able to get some light on this? Because even the highest performance Yellow Speed Racing coilover seems cheaper than a set of BC's.

Prehaps Group Buy anyone ??

[Mr nanotech]

Sooo, anyone give me any feedback to my question?

[opendoor]

Like you Nanotech I have been weighing up BC BR's vs YSR ones. Both have same spring rates unless you go for the top YSRC's, and similar adjustable damper settings and full length adjustment, but $300 difference. Would appreciate any comparisons from experience. Also would be interested in a group buy
