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.

Just wondering how much lower than stock the car sits on the BC BR's when adjusted to maximum height. I need new suspension but am having trouble finding stock replacements. BC seems to be a good option for replacements and will give me the option of going a bit lower in the future if needed?

Also, just on a whim, anyone have some 260rs/stagea rs4s stock suspension in good condition laying around, my drivers side has sagged massively :/

You would be able to run stock height if you set them up like that Mike.

Have you tried this Scotty? Only asking as the rears on my R34 are close to max height and still 1-1.5" lower than stock. Different car of course.

hmm so might loose an inch or so possibly. With previous cars i've owned coil-overs, even at their max height setting have always been lower than stock.

I would love to go low, don't get me wrong, but some of the farm tracks to get to some of the more remote surf spots have some more 'off-road' type parts lol

well im looking at jumping on the bandwagon for my 32R, going to BC BR with std 8/6 springs, car mostly used on street and looking to start doing bit more track

looks like JJR is the best choice in sydney

also looks like its available in two options, rubber mounts or pillowball mounts - anyone care to comment on noise level?

FYI - Had mine on a shock dyno after some track work as one had bled down after lack of use and they both tested perfectly... The rebound etc was all surprisingly good and close to being a perfectly matched set! So for a cheapie they seem to be a winner!

What spring rates do you run on the track and how do they feel on the street?

Do you have a graph from the dyno?

Go with the rubber mount. Pillowball is effectively solid mounting so not going to provide much vibration insulation to the body. Also pillowball is just another part to wear out.

Nope, its in my file at Road2Race, it was a pretty even graph and seemed to respond well to adjustment, surprising what a cheapie can do i guess!

I take you went to a 12kg front as the 8kg was a bit sloppy on the track?

How did that change the ride on the street?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      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.

      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.
