BC BR coilover Where buy????

Postby Mr nanotech » Wed Dec 01, 2010 2:52 am

I'm currently saving for a set of these at the moment and just found out through a friend that he was unable to buy them from the UK and they told him he had to find an 'Australian supplier'.
So I checked Mania since I knew they had them for $1200, equal to just about every other price I'd seen for them. But I looked a little closer and these are just the V1 serious not BR's.
The BR series are completely adjustible, the v1's on Mania don't have the open bottoms and look exactly the same as Tein Superstreets in terms of design.

Where can I buy a set of BC BR coilovers in Australia???

These are the ones I was saving for

Notice the open bottoms? I can't tell if that last red ring is an adjustement or not. I'm looking for independant spring and height adjustments. NOT the single adjustment that does both together.

The only thing I can find on mania is this

Notice the closed bottom?

I'm not sure what the v1's are like but I really don't want to end up with a Superstreet clone. The BR series is what I had my heart on but nowhere seems to sell them.

And for the record this is for a NA

I got mine from JustJap.

Also the photo of the BR is not for an mx5. They look pretty much like the photo of the V1 series you posted, just different colored locking rings etc. As far as i know the BR has a larger damper piston assembly then the V1.

V1 and BR have extactly the same adjustability.

the only difference the the larger diamter shock holding more volume of oil.

the outside 2 in the provided pic are macpherson struts (which a NA MX5 does not have) (for the V1 pic) and the inner 2 are the style the NA/NB MX5s run.
