Do You Have BC Racing Coilovers? (mine arrive tomorrow) Please Post Info.
Hi,
I have been searching for 3 days for info on BC Racing BR series coilovers. I have read everything i can find but that is so very little.
Please post ANYTHING you know or have, great links?
installation, adjustment, reviews, personal impressions. Everyone who considers them comments on the small amount of info out there.
Could be bad OR good. No news may be good news. I hope the owners are just too busy enjoying driving instead of posting.
I purchased them and they will be here tomorrow. Reading/obsessing on them is what i have planned until they arrive
Direct info preferred..
is 10/8 the stock spring rate? How does that ride?
I see very little written on handling when stock, and dropped. Please add.
Thanks!

Wait Geek, I thought you bought the gixxer drew setup???
Did not know you jumped on a set of BCs
I'm stuck between BC and Stance right now -.-
Did you try emailing the BC dealer on the forum for spring rate advice, btw? I have seen him pop into several coilover threads, as I'm sure he'll show up in here too

I'm hoping to get them installed, get a fender roll, install Prothane CA and Steering Rack bushings all done.
I'm just starting with the stock rates.

I'll tell you that honestly, if I were to get coils NOW, I would purchase BC racing coils. Only because I have a few friends that are drift sponsored drivers that run BC racing coils and they seem to be a solid quality product. I bought my Megan LP coils close to a year ago already and I have to say I'm extremely happy with them, but they are starting to squeek 
Makes my car look cheap and rinky dinky lmao. I wish you luck and I am sure you will be a happy customer!

Bushing lubrication?
That's one reason I won't ever go back to aftermarket arms with spherical bushings unless i have too..oh god the squeaking >.< was constantly greasing those effers after every day at the track, so obnoxious..

Fo sho. Your suspension arm rubber bushings start to bind when lowered beyond their stock geometry and start squeaking like a bag of rats. Sometimes, with my nissans, I would just crawl under the car with a can of PB blaster and hose it and it would fix it. Sometimes it would keep fighting me -.o

i installed my bc's about a year ago and have nothing to complain about. went with the supra spring rates which are slightly stiffer, don't remember off the top of my head what they are. install is fairly straight foward, theres a how to on here somewhere just search for it. its a night and day difference from stock and the ride is not relally that harsh. just don't hit potholes it feels like death

Hey,
We finally got the fenders rolled, coils in , alignment done. Coils adjusted, all pretty much outdoors during Tropical Storm Andrea. We had a shelter, but that did not keep us dry of make it pleasant.
I found a few CL tricks that helped KL get the front shock out (thanks guys).
My fender rolling uncovered a bit of underside wheel well bondo work but it's an easy fix and not too visible.
First impressions are they it is WAY more comfortable than I had expected. Even in NYC, I need stiffer springs.
My shocks are at full hard and I want a firmer ride for sure. I got the rears up enough to stop rubbing but the fronts still rub on bigger bumps badly.
BUT THE HANDLING (WHEN IM NOT RUBBING) IS PHENOMENAL!
My rear shocks were way blown out. Leaking like crazy.
