Bc Coilovers

[mature gent]

Hi I have just fitted set of BC V1 Coilovers,bought from JustJap, excellent to deal with,to my R34GTT. I selected 6kg front and 4 kg rear springs and have set them at 15 front and 17 rear from hardest,old fart settings.

Best money I have spent in a while,I can highly recommend them

Cheers

Yeh mate! they are good. i have them in my gtr! highly recommended!!

Amen, have a set of 8/6 in my R33 GTST.

loving it. Firm and responsive enough to get really rowdy with confidence, soft enough to drive in every day and not wonder if it would have been better going for other coilovers/ spring settings.

Hi mate can you give a more in depth review, eg how the car rides over train tracks, bumps in our great smooth roads we have, how hard it is overall (i know it depends in settings/personal preference), is the car flat around corners (no body roll), better or more precise handling around corners.

I'm getting new suspension soon so would like your thoughts. on the suspension you got. Thanks.

i would also like to kno more im trying to decide on a setup too

[RB25PWR]

I've had the coilovers since about April with the 8kg/6kg setup. Even whilst all set to soft I find it a pretty harsh ride... but the handling is precise and corners pretty flat. Most people seem to be happy with the ride but on a bumpy road you're going to feel it... The coilovers are best suited to a track rather than the street that's the feeling I get. If you can I'd definitely get slightly softer spring rates.

cheers it will be driven to and from the track and very rarely for fun on the road anyway so that seals it for me & i dont mind rough

I just fitted BR series to an R33gtst last week, went for the 8/6 spring rate on the advice of Justjap (was going to go 6/4). Roads are pretty bumpy up here and 8/6 is fine, not radically different to stock. 6/4 would have been too soft IMO. Have dampers set 10 clicks from soft, so 1/3 of full firmness. Also have whiteline swaybars front and rear, might just be me but I still find it has a bit of body roll - eg my ST185 GT4 has similar setup, Tein superstreets and whiteline swaybars, and that has wayyy less body roll, very flat thru corners, so was a little disappointed with the R33 in that regard. But for $1300 delivered the bc's seem great value, ride is probably perfect for street, as in firm but not too harsh. Would need firmer for track, I would imagine..

For $1,300 they are great value. I fitted them on my R34 Skyline GTT and here a shot of it on track, you can see there is not much bodyroll at all. Not harsh for the road either.

yeah im on the 8/6 diet n its gold. In perth our roads are prety flat so not a problem. If you were in an area with shit roads maybe go the 6/4, but otherwise the 8/6 are the biz.

prior to that i had 9/10 (thats right, 10 on the rear) n that shit was haaaaaaaaard.

Slid like a champion tho n you could draw lines like a draughtsman...

I suppose thats why they were call HKS Hyper D's (drift) tho...

Hi Keep in mind my Boy Racing days are over. The BC's replaced Bilsteins and Kings springs,what a difference, the BC's absorb bumps better and being adjustable you can set them to your mood or driving style, ride height is easily adjusted,less suspension noise and lighter. If you have an R34 I would also get the adjuster extentions for the rear,save you taking the seat out to adjust.
