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.

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
