BC Racing BR Series Coilovers
Hey Hey so installed my bc racing coilovers yesterday. I got the br series. So far so good. Super impressed with the feel so far. I still have to get it aligned. Gunna do that this weekend, and install my whiteline rear sway bar.
Anyways i can definately feel the difference. Much stiffer, but not too stiff. I have it set at 8 on a 0-30 scale. 30 being the softest, 0 being the hardest. Gunna play with the settings a bit to see whats best for daily driving.
Its a little lower than before. I previously had oem dampers with eibach springs. But this is like uncomparable. And they look sick, real eye candy.
Im a post a pic. I could drop it a little more but.... i think ima keep it like this. I already rubbed under the front lip this morning. No biggie thought. ima write back after i get it aligned, and after i play around with it a bit, so i can gove you guys some feedback. Super happy though so far, sickest mod ive done. Cost be an arm and a leg but, well worth it.

Yeah it is pretty low. I know they sag a little after the initial install so ill see what the result is in the next couple days. Regarding longevity, theres not
much i can say other than time will tell. I chose bc cuz i know the quality of materials are one of the best on the market so well see.
How are your meagan coilovers bakuro?
Ima send some pics later of the coilovers under the hood!

Here is Smike's review of the megan coilovers. I bought the car from him, and I havent had the chance to fix the bent valves yet so it hasnt moved.
once I get my setup on these coilovers are up next. What are your current settings ?

Yeah so the spring rates are 8k/5k. Before purchasing, you can ask to have the spring rate of your choice, free of charge. When genome purchases the coilovers, they just have to specify if they desire different spring rates. BC takes care of the rest.
Honestly, i dont see why its neccessary to change. The adjustable dampening is amazing. Theres a huge difference from 0-30.
I just had my ride aligned yesterday. i cant believe i drove a week without having the alignement. Its straight and true and now i can really feel the advantage to this suspension.
At first i thought it was a little rough, but it seems like it softens up a little after about 200 km.
Regarding ride height, youll be able to drop it lower than youll need. I can still drop it a little in the front and the back. In the front i dont see how it could go lower without rubbing. But in the back i think i chickened out a little and didnt drop it enough. Truth is, it drives better like this. Much better. Too low isnt good for performance, but yeah... low looks good. I feel i got the best of both worlds.
Im actually getting my whiteline rear sway bar installed friday. im lookin forward to seeing how much of a difference itll make with the coilovers. As it is right now, the car feels so much more stable in turns. The difference is amazing. So im curious to see what the whiteline rear sway bar will do. I also purchased the tie bar from rrm on monday. Looking forward to getting that too. Ill write back friday night to give you guys some feedback after the sway bar is installed.
Anyways good choice on the coilovers, yur gunna be happy
