i wonder if they fit... hmmm

Is that Megan's own fabrication work or are they just selling re-badged knock-offs? They better not be the rebadged version of the cheap crap suspension on Aussie Ebay

Look here on post #295 for another brand of budget coilovers called "DGR" These at least are getting a good name for themselves.

That post will give you a link to a DGR representative website where you can buy the suspension from.

IMO, BC coilovers are a great product for the price. Bang for buck they arent too expensive and make a huge difference to the way your car will handle and launch, especially with the 30-way adjustable damper control.

wow yeah $750 aus delivered... am enquiring to them now

[leadfoot]

what spring rates do you recommend for an awd converted coupe? at 880 I'm super tempted however gotta keep putting away for the awd conversion getting it shop done aint gona be cheap!

[Evo-00x]

Spring rates 8 front and 6 rear is usually the norm for GSR and EVO's and it seems to be the go for my AWD coupe as well. The coupe is fitted with all the bells and whistles (electrics and aircon + strut bars, fender bars etc) and only weighs 1240kg (same as a stock EVO).
Im pleasantly surprised with the BC inverted coilovers I got. They are a very good affordable coilover. If they didnt have the damper control I'd have to try to find a coilover with a common ground between something comfortable enough to drive on the street, but still good enough for launching at 6500rpm+... which aint going to happen.
I have the BC inverted coilovers with 30-way adjustable damper control set on about 20/30 stiffness and its comfortable enough on the street and handles extremely well. At the drags I think I softened it down to 10/30 and reduced tyre pressure to 20psi and it allowed the rear end to drop down and improve traction to the rear / lift up the front end when launching It knocked 0.5 seconds off immediately
At full stiffness it feels like you're feeling every little bump on the road and it is quite annoying and rediculous - its not a street setting and therefore thats probably best chosen for the smooth surface of a circuit.
For a street/weekend fun car definitely go something with damper/resistance adjustment so that you can play around with handling settings to suit whatever conditions youre driving to ie street, track, circuit, dirt, bumpy unsealed roads, wet weather etc.

for a budget coil over setup, i havent been able to go past K-sport. the 37 cars ive fitted them too have all worked a treat, and are reliable.
for a good coilover set fightex are the way to go =)

prices for the ksports?

[EVL20T]

Ive used Ksport few years ago, they are very good for around a year then the fronts started knocking

They were $1499 set from memory back then, now they are around the $1100 mark

Only thing i didnt like about them were that they are aluminium and the bolts wear into it

The BC are made of steel and are a nice design also

hi

anyone tried the tein super flex's?

[CYBORG-X]

they are rock hard for aus roads... the tien super streets are good, but a little on the stiffer side

[7zark7]

I'm very happy with my Racing Logic coilovers on my Evo 3 (F8,R7)
Got them a couple of years ago in a group-buy on another forum for around $1500 deliverd

Yeah I have them and Id agree. However when I race they are great! So I put up with them for daily driving!
