Swapping Tein coilover to BC coilovers, My GT-Four's suspension is failing Options

[Spetsnaz]

During yearly vehicle inspection the technician noticed that my rear Tein coilovers were leaking and suspension power was 63%/17%. I tried to check if there are any shop selling them in pairs but didn't find any, so I'm planning to replace the whole set.

My friend recommended me BC BR coilovers and I was thinking, how much you have to modify the chassis for them to fit? I'd rather just use same brand, but they're out of my budget atm.

My current kit is probably Super Street, cant be 100% sure tho, they're pretty worn and dirty.

Thanks in advance

or since the tein superstreet are discontinued, maybe look into there new line 'street advance'?

also I find it odd you cant get them repaired, as we have a tein shop here in NZ who can do just that

playr158: Yeah, thanks, checked that, just thought if there are differences in swapping stock -> BC and Tein -> BC.

Rusty: Most of the suspension repair shops here are specialized in snowmobile and motocross suspension, but I managed to find a company that manufacture and repair rally suspension. Have to get a quote, to see is it worth it to repair them.

personally, I hated my tein suspension, I bet the higher end ones are better but for the price and for street purpose id go with the BC's. Teins typically have lower spring rates, sometimes don't have adjustability, sometimes no top mounts, and you have to mix and match with your stock parts to reassemble, etc....
