Coilover, Slide Vs. Bc

[AndrewEagle]

Hi, not sure if this has been discussed but i'll post anyway.

I'm in the middle of deciding on a set of coilovers and for price i've come down to BC RS Series or the Slide Industries brand. I've seen a lot of good reviews for the BC but i can't find anything on the Slide ones. I've got an R33 so if anyone knows or has used either coilover it'd be good to hear about it.

Cheers.

Well I've made up my mind.. I'm going BC BR.

Never even herd of that other brand.

They look alright, shame they can't be bothered making them for M35 Stagea's, only the C34's. It's their loss.

So no ones tried the slides? Thinking BC is the way to go, even at an extra $100 atleast I've heard about them.

is Slide industries the same place that made hiflow turbos for a little while that had close to 117% failure rate?

[R31Nismoid]

Nope - That was Sliding Performance.

Slide Industries sell pretty much China copy stuff. Thier "GT35" turbos are NOT Garrett for instance, despite using the same part name etc.

Another brand to have a look at is Shockworks. They are made O/S, like everything else, but are designed here and you get local support/warranty of the product rather than dealing with a 3rd party.

Import Monster have been doing a lot of work with them - And are a SAU Trader - So that's always helpful

Yep definately cant recomend shockworks enough its abit more dear then the entry bc level stuff but its on another level in performance. Local in melbourne can go for a test drive in there 34 and you will be amazed.
