Default BC Racing Coilovers

Special Thanks to Circuit Motorsports and BC racing for the coilover show special for the New York Auto Show on the IS-F. The handling and ride hight of the vehicle have been significantly improved. This is a great upgrade to any IS-F. More pictures soon.





Still trying to track down the rest of them

Can't tell too much from that picture. Glad to hear more and more companies are coming out with suspension products for the F. It would also be beneficial to hear some testimony from you or your brother regarding the ride vs stock

What's the ride like? Any reduction in handeling ability? What was you final drop height (front and rear)? Thanks.

We are selling these right now for just $1099. I would say these are better than JIC's. Better build quality and overall ride.

Element Tuning is a huge tuning shop, they mostly do Subarus. They have a full on badass Time Attack STI that they campaign in the Redline Time Attacks. They recently switched over to BC Racing coilovers from the JIC's they used to run and they love the BCR's. Phil said that the BCR's cured the wheel hop he was getting coming out of tight corners.

He has been racing a long time and knows his suspensions. I trust his opinion

The ride is extremely close to stock ride, the handling is like a complete go kart now and it feels incredible. I looked at lots of different coils before going for BC's including JIC's, for the price and literally exact quality as the far more higher end coils, BC's were the only way i wanted to go.

I have run all types of Coils in past cars such as Teins/KW's/Eibach's etc, but the BC's seem to offer a complete package in terms of Ride Comfort, drop and especially handling.

I don't recall the exact drop as I didn't measure it from stock, the car looks way more planted and level compared to stock. Probably 1-1.5inches but that's my bad math

This wheels are insane they are extremely lightweight. When I first picked up the box I thought it was empty. We had them custom painted all black for the auto show but they come in a variety of finishes from GFG.

Awesome....I will look into buying a set but I was hoping for a softer ride while still holding the corners.
