Rs4-S Bc Br Coilover Qs

[GH05T]

good afternoon all,

i didnt want to start a new topic for a simple question but i cant seem to search and find a definative answer.

im buying a new set of BC BR coilovers for my stag and im trying to work out the right part number with the guy.

its a 1999 C34 SII Rs4-S manual awd.

is the rear an eyelet or fork type ?

they seem to have a listing for wgnc4 or rs260, but im sure the rs4s SII has something specific to order for.

thanks for all the help.

Looking at the car would remove confusion, but it's my understanding rs4s is fork. But stick your head under and see.

ah sorry, should have explained im without the stag for a week otherwise yeah i would just look.

need to order the parts now if i can, thanks for the help, if anyone can confirm that would be magic.

im going 6/8kg, i assume these will be good, i know their going to feel different from my R34 but i dont think i need to go stiffer?

got a mate to check, they are Fork

Definitely fork on the rear of the RS4S.

Darren's stag is the most comfortable ride I've been in with coil overs perfect for everyday street and hill use

is it advisable to get softer rates in the wagon?

im used to the standard 6/8 in the 34 coupe and obviously the wagon is going to feel different but im not sure if its preferable to go harder or softer?

is anyone using 6/8?

would love to feel the difference

4kg are 25 percent harder than stock...i am not sure anyone apart from a wanker drifter thinks that anymore equals better handling

on PUBLIC roads, not a smooth racetrack

Im pretty sure plenty of people somehow think its the coilovers job to stop body roll, when its really the sway bars job..lol

and in adelaide hills, you just end up bouncing of the road (my kids go to school in the hills, so its gets driven up there every day) ..not to mention all the potholes we have on our roads compared to other states.

BC only make them down to 5kg..otherwise i would have got 4's, as i had them in my TEIN coilovers first

SK handling kit years ago had 4's from memory aswell

cheers

I used the stock RS4S springs with Bilstein's.

[GH05T]

i recon i might go 5/7 or 5/6 down from their standard 6/8

i do still like a firm ride,

im well aware of what the rollbars and coilovers do.

i never experianced understeer or excessive oversteer in the hills in my 34gtt with 6/8 i dobut the stag is going to act totaly different.

im still unsure on how the stag and R34 are going to differ. what is the main difference, the weight?or the weight distribution? the 4wd?

what makes the stag need softer springs or are you just talking about your preference in general?

if 6/8kg acted in the stag the same as the 34 then i would be happy.

slightly softer might be ok as i usually ran the stiffness at about 20 out of 32 in favour of hard. (0 being soft 32 being hardest)
