Hi guys,

Just wondering who has the BC coilovers on their v35 coupe?

Would you be able to advise how they are when fitted?

Looking at getting a set now although a guy I spoke to at a shop that sells them says he was advised by bc that on a stock wheel once lowered at maximum would still be a 2 finger gap between guard and wheel? Is this true, answer is quite vague. Just wanted to know whoever has these how low you could go with the bc coilover? Also wanted to know is there any difference between rubber top mounts and pillow mounts? Cause there are two types of bc coilovers one is RS and the other RA!

Any insiders would be fantastic! Thanks guys

You will not regret getting these coilovers, they are one of the most reputable coils on the market.

Given that stock wheels are the 17s or 18s? if they are the 17s then he's probably right.

With these coils you can dump it frame on the ground or raise it 4x4 spec. No idea about rubber or pillow mounts.

Yea I think it should be flush with 19" wheels so I guess it'll be fine...I've been doing research and alot of people seem to rate it well and for the price...I guess it a bang for buck product....is 1350 a decent price?

BC does have a good rep for adjustability and ride - but there are always horror stories if you so a quick google. On the most part I have read good things. Example, I was looking for coilovers for my e39 BMW and all the M5 owners said BC was best, even over bilstein and KW.

But every car has different valving requirements and they might nail one car and miss with the setup on another.

I would buy them - the pricing is good. Only thing I'd suggest is that Pedders and Tein are the only ADR approved coilovers, and also the only coilovers that can bbs readily rebuilt.

Beyond that, rubber mounted bearings in thw top hats are definitely what you want for the street. Pillow mounts are noisy and crash about - race use only.

Inconvenience as I live about 45 from where I purchased the coilovers!!! I told them if they were 100% sure they were the rubber mounted ones and they said yes I should've checked before I left but was in a rush and they ain't open tomorrow !!! Sucks or should I keep the pillow top mounted coilovers? Suggestions

I have them in my sedan and im on 20/30mm ground clearance with OX racing japan front and rear bracing and soon whiteline adjustable sways, best money spent. Also you can go up spring ratrings ive been told to 12f/10r (up from 10f/8r) withouith having them revalved. When i was in this boat everyone said BC for bang for ya buck, never looked back.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
