Running the mid-range set in my 32 now, i enjoy alot of mountain driving, got them set pretty stiff and when on a nice smooth mountain road car just sits where ever you steer it (Federal 595RSR's, 430hp atm).

around town and over bumps im finding them a bit stiff, however i have solid rear mounts and i could probably soften the settings a bit :P.

running the standard f8kg r6kg. paid for them at lunch time and had them delivered from out of state the next morning.

Highly recommend if your wanted a more "sport/track" feel over the normal daily.

Would seem to be the sensible consensus for coilovers.

After being in multiple cars with both BC and MCAs i would literally bin the BC's. The MCA's are leagues ahead.

I was at 8F 6R and they were quite nice to drive on... Smoother than my old Tein setup... The front sprint rate is closer to 12kg on mine now... Nope, its in my file at Road2Race, it was a pretty e

how do these stack up with bouncy roads and train track crossings?

i've had a pair of leaking JIC and Tein in the rear which would bounce abit once hitting those surfaces..... not due to the hard springs, ppl with leaking coilovers will understand.

hard spring rates aint a problem but seeing as i've never used a set that was in good condition i'd rather ask the question

My WRX daily driver has done 3 snow trips this year with plenty of questionable road surfaces and handled like an absolute dream on BC BR's which are the recommended spec for a street driven car.

I am a self confessed Japanese brand whore but the BC's have earned my tick of approval.

i am running a set of V1's atm that are very good but i had the BR's in my old R33 that has just been writen off ;) and i was so happy with them did a drift event and they performed out of my expectation street they are great and less bouncy than the lowered springs i had in it before, however please get a quality wheel alightment after installation.

:P i am now buying a set for my mum's WRX as her soft coilovers are harsher than my car and she prefers to drive mine atm :P

BC's are value for money, comfortable ride, great construct and tuning options.

I would definitely purchase another set without hesitating!

Add decent sway bars F/R and they perform well in the corners, the only fault I can think of is steep driveways may leave you with one wheel off the ground.

No problem, I hit triple tracks at 80 every day on the way to work. Tyres stick like glue. Great shocks in these, still perfect after a year of daily thrashing, haven't needed to adjust them yet either.

thank, thats what i wanted to know, seems like i'll be getting BC's in the near future :P

Sorry to dig up a resting thread, but i am glad i came across it. Pretty much convinced now to go buy a set of BR type coilovers.

Everyone's BC's still holding up ok?

Been running BC BR's in my Stagea for 1 1/2 years absolutely no issues, over 30 000km now. Perfect.

You won't go wrong.:thumbsup:

yeah mate still going strong great coil overs the reason they lift one wheel is because they dont have helper springs to allow them to drop down doesnt worry me one bit tho

What?

Since when do you need helper springs to get the shock into full droop? They have gas pressure in them for a reason.

If the shocks lack travel that is another issue entirely.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
