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 |

How do you find these coilovers compared to Tein SS. I had Tein SS on my car for a very short time but had to remove them. They may be good for track but on typical Irish back roads I spent most of my time avoiding bumps and potholes. Is there full travel on these shocks and what are the roads like where you live in Italy?

I didn't like Tein SS, but this is for sure because my car is 85 kgs lighter in the front... that's why I removed them and I went to install this BC, I still have to use... Yes, full travel. Italian mountain roads, where I use it, are turny and bumpy... we will see how they are... -------------------- Wolf_Tm (Parma;Italy) [Silat-Kali]
