I'd like to consider upgrading the suspension in my E90 this year. I'm far from being in a position to be able to afford anything, but I can still research :)

The BC Coilovers that @Just Jap Racingsell - does anybody have any opinions or reviews? They look really nice and seem to have a lot of good features. They definitely seem to be good bang for buck.

These are the ones I'm keen on. https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-suspension-kit-bmw-3-series-e90-e91-e92-2

You'll want still streetish yes? Would go the blitz, i have found the ride to be better, different valving allegedly, although not pulled them apart to see.

Yeah definitely streetish. It's still my daily. I'll look them up, any idea of spring rates? I guess they'd differ.

I have full set of BC's in my HR31 Skyline that I use for street and track and they are great. Select the right spring rate and you have 32 position shock adjustment to get the right setting for street and track. Great pricing too.

I had bc coils on my frs back in 2014, was not a fan of them at all. They offered about the same handling as stock with a harsher ride, the damping adjustments where hardly noticeable. I swapped to swift springs and 1 kg softer after a year and they where better but i swapped out to fortune auto 500s around 2015-2016 with the same springs and they blew them away.

Have you had anything else in the car to compare them with?

Yes prior to these I had a set of Harrop VL race coilovers with 12 kg springs and Bilstein shocks (non adjustable) revalved to suit. BC's are better with only 9Kg springs. 

I have these in my R33GTST .... with the standard spring rates they sell.

I'm not 100% happy with them, but for the $$ I guess they're ok.

Main complaint would be that they're either too harsh or too mushy for my taste.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
