Gordon Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I had some bc racing coilovers fitted to my lexus is300, they are very good, the ride is very hard mind, considering they had been on the car for just short of 2yrs, they can up very well when removed and sold on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Sry bit late. The BC coilovers for MX5 have my recomendation. http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=8023&p=118469 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyR Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Thought I'd just update this topic by saying that we eventually arranged a date (oo-er) and Matt did come round for a ride in my car. Nice guy and we had a good old chat about all things cars I took him out for a passenger ride and then let him have a little time behind the wheel to get a feel for it himself. He seemed impressed and it certainly extinguished his fears that the ride on the BC's would be too hard. He commented on how well it rode and how much more stable/confidence inspiring it felt in a straight line, especially impressed with the lack of dive/squat and the extra steering weight compared to his car. He still has a decision to make but at least he can now do so with some first hand experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Nice one...... As said it's quite an investment to go into blind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattslegg Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Huge thank you to Dave for letting me go out in his car and trusting me to have a drive, really nice guy. I was really impressed with the way they felt, so much better than stock. I now can't decide between the Bc's or the koni sport damper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Nice one mate, not sure I'd be happy letting someone I don't know drive my car, I hate it when family ask to have a go!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyR Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't just let anybody drive my car willy nilly, but it doesn't take too long to form a reasonable impression of what someone is like (whether they are going to be a lunatic driver or sensible!) and I was happy in trusting that Matt wouldn't do anything silly!

steveh Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Huge thank you to Dave for letting me go out in his car and trusting me to have a drive, really nice guy. I was really impressed with the way they felt, so much better than stock. I now can't decide between the Bc's or the koni sport damper I think one of the factors is ride height, if your already on lowering springs I believe the Koni dampers will make you even lower which of course has it's own issues. Although my experience is not with BCs but with another brand they will allow you to choose the ride height and not vice versa, in addition damper adjustment is very simple and in my experience required depending on what your using the car for.

joeB12 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Even though it's reflected in the price, the BC coilovers have my vote over the Koni dampers/springs all day long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norton Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hi davey, what spring rate did you have fitted the 7/5 or the 6/4 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
