Hi guys and dolls.
BC have recently developed some coilovers for the ST205. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BC-Adjustable-Coilov...A1%7C240%3A1318 Normally eveyrone in the UK only buy Tein an TRD coilovers and tent to avoid every other brands when it comes to coilover. Recently in GBP isnt doing so well and Tein has also anounced a huge price increase hence putting me into the "definately cant afford" status. Well the new BC coilovers have adopted the idea of using the origional housing of the stock Super strut shocks and changing the inserts like the D2, k-sport and G4's. In a nutshell it's a crap design but BC's inserts are different as they require you to cut the stock shocks down and allowing you to use the full length of the coilover shocks. Here are some pictures I've been sent and I've been convinced to be the first to try a set in the UK.       Untill now I've not heard of BC before in the UK but after doing some research, I've found that they're pretty good. So what's everyones opinion with BC around the world on other cars? Has anyone experienced using them before? Ray |

Hello!
I have a D2 coiloverkit and it works fine in the rear but in front the damping hight is just ½an ince, but they have just taken my front kit back and remaked the kits for the superstrut celicas. The new kit is like the BC one. I can update you with pictures after the installation. Also the dampers are upgraded to a new better version as well. -------------------- Mikael /// Sweden

So D2 have now adopted the insert design same as BC? Its been a while and I've not updated anything. Basically I'm stuck because there is a problem withe these BC coilovers. I'm having to pain-steakingly cut off the welds to correct a mistake in thes coilovers and its very annoying and I'm still not done.  I'll post up the details later after I've corrected them. |
