so lucky for me BC Racing is about 30 minutes away from where i work so i was able to go to them and pick up the coilovers. when i got there i was immediately greeted by the staff and felt very welcomed. any and all questions i had were given full explanation as this is my first real set of coilovers. while i was there one of the guys that worked there owns a brz with the BC coilovers and willingly took me out for a test drive in his car so i could get a feel for the road manners of the coilovers!! all in all it was a great experience and would definitely refer anyone to go there even just to check out their products

so after i install them which didnt take long at all i went out for a drive and just as expected after going out for a ride in the brz, the ride quality is very solid. the ride was really firm at first but after lowering the damper rates i got it just the way i wanted it esp being this is my daily 1 hour each way to and from work. overall im extreemly happy i bought this set! it was within my budget and the quality of the product and customer service was top notch!!

I saw you on obt the other day. Nice set up!!! Which Toyota dealer is that?

SalM 02-12-2013 04:29 PM

How much improvement do you notice with handling? Increase in handling from a performance aspect over stock?

Ok, so I have a vendor ordering a pair of coilovers for me.. BC coilovers to be exact. Was I supposed to let him know what spring rates I wanted? I'm building a show car, not a track car. And I'd still like to maintain the quality of ride of stock and drop it an inch or two onto 18's.

8/8 is the usual concensus, you should do good with that.

i honestly dont know the spring rates of the coilovers. i told them i wanted to buy coilovers and that it was a daily driver with ocassional autocross use and they gave me the goods and that was that =)

as far as ride quality goes, its only a tiny bit stiffer than stock but i have the dampers set to zero and it really does soak up big bumps at highway speed (45+) really good, i was impressed! but at lower speeds there is a tiny bit of bouncyness which would be inevitable with a set up like this but absoultely nothing unpleasant, i think the perfect word would be very sporty.

handeling wise, words cannot describe the response that the car provides with the new suspension! you really do have to drive it to know what im talking about, its that good =)

HACHI DOS good seeing you the other day!! like i said your car is the reason i traded up for the Fr-s and with no regrets! so i thank you sir!! we should meet up one day!! i might be going to a car meet this saturday night if your down let me know!
