Bc Br Coilovers

[V(35)Powarh!]

Hi guys,

Just wondering who has the BC coilovers on their v35 coupe?

Would you be able to advise how they are when fitted?

Looking at getting a set now although a guy I spoke to at a shop that sells them says he was advised by bc that on a stock wheel once lowered at maximum would still be a 2 finger gap between guard and wheel? Is this true, answer is quite vague. Just wanted to know whoever has these how low you could go with the bc coilover? Also wanted to know is there any difference between rubber top mounts and pillow mounts? Cause there are two types of bc coilovers one is RS and the other RA!

Any insiders would be fantastic! Thanks guys

You will not regret getting these coilovers, they are one of the most reputable coils on the market.

Given that stock wheels are the 17s or 18s? if they are the 17s then he's probably right.

With these coils you can dump it frame on the ground or raise it 4x4 spec. No idea about rubber or pillow mounts.

Yea I think it should be flush with 19" wheels so I guess it'll be fine...I've been doing research and alot of people seem to rate it well and for the price...I guess it a bang for buck product....is 1350 a decent price?

BC does have a good rep for adjustability and ride - but there are always horror stories if you so a quick google. On the most part I have read good things. Example, I was looking for coilovers for my e39 BMW and all the M5 owners said BC was best, even over bilstein and KW.

But every car has different valving requirements and they might nail one car and miss with the setup on another.

I would buy them - the pricing is good. Only thing I'd suggest is that Pedders and Tein are the only ADR approved coilovers, and also the only coilovers that can bbs readily rebuilt.

Beyond that, rubber mounted bearings in thw top hats are definitely what you want for the street. Pillow mounts are noisy and crash about - race use only.

Uh I see I guess from hearing that a lot of people are running bcs looks the way to go...sparing now cause the shop I was gonna pick it up from only had the pillow mounted ones left sold his last rubber mounted one recently!!! Now Ill have to wait longer uh wells... And Mat you are a very knowledgable man that's exactly what the guys told me the pillow mounts knock and are noisy..track set up....are you gonna get a set of bcs too?

I have them in mine. Best investment ive made yet. Makes the car feel so good. I take it to the track every so often and I have had no issues what so ever. You will not regret the purchase

Do you guys also have camber arms or toe bolts/arms installed?

I hear rear camber arms are a highly recommended, but not so sure on front camber or toe bolts.

purchased my bc coils today and turns out they are the type RA spewing cause I was excited to put them on....the shop is gonna cop an earful from me! Inconvenience as I live about 45 from where I purchased the coilovers!!! I told them if they were 100% sure they were the rubber mounted ones and they said yes I should've checked before I left but was in a rush and they ain't open tomorrow !!! Sucks or should I keep the pillow top mounted coilovers? Suggestions

I have them in my sedan and im on 20/30mm ground clearance with OX racing japan front and rear bracing and soon whiteline adjustable sways, best money spent. Also you can go up spring ratrings ive been told to 12f/10r (up from 10f/8r) withouith having them revalved. When i was in this boat everyone said BC for bang for ya buck, never looked back.

[SMOKEYV35]

20mm ground clearance?!?

Anyone know where I can purchase bc Coilovers be series type RS in Australia preferably Sydney? Any stockists/distributors would really like to get a set ASAP...thanks

[SMOKEYV35]

Just Jap Auto. In Kirawee. But they will freight to anywhere in aus for free.

Had BC racing coilovers in my old Accord for over 1.5 years and never had any issue. For $1300+, you can't find a better set of coilovers. They are awesome value.

thanks for the info guys, just wanted to know what the oem spring rates are as the ones ive purchased are f 10 and r 8...are these alright? please advise ta

[SMOKEYV35]

that seems to be the standard spring rate they offer - it will be stiffer than OEM.

I nearly bought a set last night! Need a project for the xmas break ;-)

[V(35)Powarh!]

Do it! Hehe mines coming soon i have to wait a week or so for them to be shipped to my door...they admitted they sold me the wrong ones and will deliver the type rs rubber top hats...cant wait to have them installed! Mat what stopped you buying them mate?
