Yellow Speed Racing coilovers

booki89 · Postby **booki89** » Tue Mar 04, 2014 12:11 am

Bit of a thread bump, but instead of starting another...

How are the yellow speed coilovers holding up?

I am trying to decide if i want BC or Yellow speed coilovers, as I think my current shocks are flogged out.
Interest little comparison between the two seen on this thread;

viewtopic.php?f=30&t=60495&hilit=Yellow+Speed

Makes it sound like the BC are a better fitment.

Any other opinion's?

I think I'm missing where it says BC are better fitment.

Search JDMST on BC vs Yellowspeed. You'll find a comparison from Wholesale Suspension who sell both and favour Yellowspeed. Use "JDMST yellowspeed vs BC" and you'll see the thread from 2012.

You can of course get Yellowspeeds from Mania who use them on their race cars.

i've had mine for about 2 years now. no issues with the ysrs. i was also the one the mentioned the fitment variences. but again it was for a car that wasn't a mx5.

Where's the best place to buy them? Anybody got them in stock?

Just to confirm. The rear shocks are now height adjustable le without altering spring preload?

Thanks for clearing that up project r.

So they fit no issues? Accessories where ok?

Is there anything else you need when installing coil overs? Or is everything included in the kit?

Anything worth changing while I am in there?

Probably been done yo death but...

BC vs yellow speed?

Are they the same ? Is one better then the other?

This is the wrong way to adjust ride height as a FYI, it should be adjusted with preload.

Caved and bought some Yellow speed coilovers.

General consensus, they are the same as BC's and other coilovers of their price point.

Little worried that people are wanting to get helper springs to get them lower though!

Hopefully it will be low enough for my liking

Is it recommended to run them full soft for breaking them in?

Any break in tips or am I over thinking it?

you are over thinking it. but it is fine. sounds like one of your first "big" purchases. we've all been like that sometime in our lives.

you dont have to do anytthing special to break them in. probably just set them 5-10 click up from softest setting and drive. adjust to your liking after a few days.
