BC coilovers for the GT4, yes its for the GT4 Options

Hi guys and dolls.

BC have recently developed some coilovers for the ST205.

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?

Not to sound ignorant, or silly, but will all sets sold from bc (or other dealers) have to have the fronts welded to the stock suspension to some degree? In other words, they will not be a simple bolt on?

Not at all my friend.

All the superstrut ones will need to be welded. As far as I know the ST20* superstruts are the only coilover BC made which needs to be welded because of the extreme cost of fabricating the lower superstrut half hence this is the best solution. It's not hard to weld TBH. Any local welder can do it for you.

Its been quite a few months now since having them installed and I've had no problems at all. Still flying over pot holes and speed bumps and I drive my car pretty hard around bends. Still happy playing with the dampering settings and not a sign of corrosion or rust. Feels like the day I first installed them.
