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 |

http://gt4dc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2764&start=30 I know its been a long time since I've posted anything on the BC coilovers. Thats because I'm still waiting for BC to send me new bottom half inserts and untill I get them I wont be able to continue with my write up. Sorry to keep eveyone waiting, I know there are a lot of people are waiting for my thoughts on the BC before buying them so here's what I have to say. If you want to buy them. Do so. My review is write up on my experience and findings on these coilovers. After you've read it, use the knowledge as guidence. I don't take advice from anyone who passes on second hand information or no actual exprience with something so don't take generalisation and knock off coments too serioursly from people who havent actually tried them. I've had the rear ones on for a while and so far I've had no troubles at all and already liking what I've got. I cant wait to get my front ones on. Setting up the rear took almost a week of tweaking, adjusting and trying and now I'm flying over speed bumps withough any knocking, discomfort and exhaust scraping. BC's only major mistake was releasing these with incorrect instructions. There are a few other minor things which I'd question but will do so after I've done the front as well. Mean while a gift to all my readers who whishes to try them: |
