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?

wow. Didnt think this thread was still going on.
Ok so about my BC's. They're still working 100% and I'm very happy. My only thoughts are that I wish they had released adjustable top mounts for the rears from the start. It would had helped a lot.
Secondly regarding spring rates. I would personally go for the (9K-7K) given teh second time round. At the moment with what I have is that it practically feels very comfortable and very able handling and cornering. (9K-7K)
would had be a bit harder which I think if you're going coilovers, you may as well go the extra mile for a race upgrade.

Now over the years, (3 years now?) the only fault I've had is that the paint on my springs had started to flake and crack off exposing it. Not that bad considering the high milage use of my car and full-o-sh1t pot holes we have here in the UK roads.
I think I'll just end up taking them apart and cleaning them up and uprating the springs when that happens.

REgarding the weld join. no problems what so ever. I have had the occasion where I've jumped and thought my car was gonna smash to bits but it still turned out fine. No hair line cracks what so ever.

Clearance with alloys? Well I no longer have the supertourismo's any more but 18 Revolutions which has no problem what so ever.

My only issue is that the allen key bolts for the top mounts are a bit rubbish because they store water and rust.
I've changed mine to SS hex bolts before they break.

Zeus. Regardingyour question, the 202 versions are literally the same but with a different spring load weight not as high as ST205.
