Hey all,
I installed a set of BC coilovers (BR type) this week and then had it professionally aligned, etc. It's been lowered to 350mm all round. Camber on the rears is -3 on the left and -5 on the right??!! Even with camber pins they're still gonna be way negative, and uneven? Has anyone experienced this before or know how to fix it? At the moment I'm thinking of raising it a bit. Also, to be honest I'm really not happy with the BC's. On the softest setting they are still really hard but have a lot of bounce in them. So I've turned them up to around half way but they are still really bouncy. I'm not quite sure how best to explain it, but when you drive it feels like you're bouncing up and down really quickly. Just a really rough feel, but the road is smooth and straight, no holes, etc. Any advice would be really appreciated! |

Did you buy them new or used? If they're used, they could be blown or in need of an overhaul and the only thing you're really feeling are the springs which would explain the bounciness and strange camber in the rear - or maybe the alignment shop somehow didn't raise them to the same height (unlikely) and it's throwing the camber off. If you bought them used and they're blown, BC will replace them for $95/each. Shipping probably won't be very cheap though...
I have BR-series BC coilovers on my MR2 and LOVE them. |
