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?

Correct...

Its pretty firm now, i rarely use the car on the street these days so not too concerned :)

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.

      First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
