I've heard nothing but praise for BC coilovers and am almost ready to buy a set but thought I would check prices of coilovers from Japan

BC coilovers are $1300 delivered but I've also be quoted on these

Tein Super Streets $1650 (6-9 week delivery)

Greddy Type S - $1670 (6-9 week delivery)

Not sure which way to go as I would prefer something sooner than 6-9 weeks but also want a good product.

Any recommendations?

Hey mate I posted the same question a week ago and yeah everyone seems to love bc's but there are others that say you get what you pay for. As for my descision on which I'm going to go with the greddy type s as I would rather the peace of mind knowing that I have a good quality product

I thought ISC coilovers were in the same basket as G4,D2 etc and not very good?

Just my perception mind you not an attempt to stir things up

Can I have more info on how these compare to BC coilovers?

+1 for BC's

I'd put the BC's up against the Tein SS or Greddy type S any day... I've heard plenty of horror stories about both esp the Tein SS.

Just because a product comes from a big brand name it doesn't automatically make it a great product these are very much "entry level" items and they are not tuned for local conditions - remember google is your friend!

Good luck

Definetly not in the same league mate. G4 and D2 are generic. ISC is made by ISC. Alot of the design work is also done in Australia along with the new Australian made thrust kit. Our coilovers are also valved to suit different spring rates unlike alot of others out there in the same price bracket. The ISC N1 coilovers have been used in winning DA (national series drift) cars along with the 180sx on the tv show Blood Sweat and Gears being awarded best handling car and the list go's on. If you need any information on the coilovers please send me an email at [email protected] or give me a call on 0413804117.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
