don't BC's come with 7kg and 4kg springs standard? From memory that's around the same rebound rate as stock. Performance gain? Turn the dampening off full firm and see how the bounce rate is. The midrange of most cheap coils are terrible, they only work properly at either extreme due to the nature of their valving. Add to this that BC's don't have progressive springs, and it's pretty much a recipe for fail.

With the same amount of money you could get a very good set of matched springs and struts that will last longer, perform consistently and much more smoothly. Fuck adjustable dampening and height, the only guys who do that usually have $5000 suspensions and visit a suspension shop before and after each event. If someone's on a $1200 budget for suspension their broke ass isn't gonna see a suspension shop after it's been set. ever. they'll just ghetto it up at home every time they get defected.

in which case you'd rag on him for not dragging his balls low enough on the ground (or whatever analogy it is you like to use)

so what's a kid to do?

save up and buy decent coils so he can do both?

not that he'd ever drag his balls too low to the ground, he'd destroy that fibreglass kit of his at the sight of a bump in the road... so he'll be running it at a safe and possibly legal height, so why bother with cheap coilovers?

All i know is my BCs feel good :) and heard good things from suspension specialists, and the reason why my car isn't balls slammed to the floor is becuase of:

1. The area I live in.

2. My dad spent a fair bit of time repairing my front lip while I was doing other things, and would hate to screw up his hard work of repairing it properly

BC coilovers are actually pretty good shan, they are pretty much rebadged greddy's. Spring rates 8 / 4
pigs arse, we've fitted about 3 sets on cars, and they were almost identical to the other equivalent stuff from race logic and G4/D2. Just powdercoated a different colour. Shit we even showed the race logic guy who looked after our trade account and he was like "ummm yeahhhh funny that".

8/4? you had better spring rates when you were rockin superior stock suspension for acceleration.

running 10/8 on the GTS4 on matched Tanabe springs and shocks. Is nice. Bumpy, but not as bad as my old 12/10 setup which was bumpy as fuck, but it's not a daily so I don't really give a toss... and if the passengers don't like it... they can GTFO and walk.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
