Let us know if the bolts are long enough to install an STB with it.

Yes...this is the concern for members who want a stb on the BC coilovers....top mount bolts may not provide enough threads for stb.

For the guys running the alloy tops be sure to tighten down the bolts under the adjustment **** as every so often they like to work themselves loose

I will upload the pics of the threads as thy are too short to install an stb.

I think stb will fit on BC coilovers with minor adjustments.

We have had some questions about the STB fitting or not fitting. The word is that you remove your factory "top-rings" where the bolts go and the STB will fit. You don't need those rings for the coilovers anyway, so they can be put aside on the install.

If anyone has any questions on BC coilovers or wants info on ordering a set just PM us

Exactly!! That was one of my suggestion to GS4_Fiend, but I guess he still has doubts....oh well!!!

If you don't have an STB, keep the ring as it provide support. That's a very nice and functional STB.

Are the top rings the thin black metal piece with three holes that you place on before the nuts?

PHML

iTrader: (33)

yes...those are it...its about 4mm thick...not really thin.

Oh okay thanks Pete! Yeah that number is just about right although I'm not use to measuring in metric

Interesting set of last posts guys. I am considering these coilovers and I currently have a STB installed.

Update on the BC coilover. I just received the coilover yesterday and the bolts are not that long. So if you want to install an STB, you will have to remove the black metal ring.

I'm currently on bilstein and I was able to install the STB with the black metal ring with a lot of thread left over.

After I upgrade the BC coils to swift spring, I will attempt to install the coilovers with the ring to see if enough thread is left or not to use the ring at all. I would prefer to keep the ring+STB if possible.
