Hi,

I am looking to get a set of BC coilovers for my Evo 9, can any one give me any info on these coilovers please, they have now come out here in the UK so i am a little in the dark

Cheers

 

 

What do you use your car for? Track, daily driver, etc.?

From what I remember, the roads are nice and smooth in England but it's been a while since i ventured too far from a major city.

Hi Andrew

The car is used as a weekend toy and to do 4-5 trackdays, but my misses and 15 month old boy need to ride in it without shaking the life out of them.
Do you think this coilover will ok?

 

I think you need to rethink what your wanting from a suspension setup. ANY coilover is going to make your ride much stiffer.

You might want to consider a set of Bilsteins, however, if lowering is what you desire, then understand and live with the fact that coilovers are going to provide a stiffer ride, while being less harsh than the stock shock provides.

for me, i choose JIC for my Supra and S2000. they are noticably stiffer, yet bumps are not as harsh as the shoddy stock shocks provide.

So, coilovers will undoubtably make your ride stiffer, while same time probably make your ride less edgy, and bone rattling. Just don't get TEIN. Only the super duper expensive Tein coilovers are worth buying, the rest -with their steel housing, and ****ly matched springs/shocks- seems like your driving on mud.

 

I agree. C/Os here might not be what you are looking for.

For reference, I went from Megan Tracks (made by BC) back to a proper spring/strut/sway setup and I have not looked back. Rides great on the street and is flat-out awesome on the track.
