Did you have problem with the interior mounted brake light with tinting?

What did you use to adjust rear camber?

Thx

Yeah, the guy that tinted the car is writing a DIY for me (he did mention it was a little tricky), otherwise just go through them (solar style window tinting), he did an excellent job They do work for Brisbane BMW as the pre delivery option for customers.

Rear camber, is already VERY aggressive, no need to adjust.

BC are pretty well put together, I ran them in my other BMW, and they were brilliant.. Comfortable and fantastic handling..

They really have gotten their sh*t together, and I have nothing but good experience with them.

Just cos something is cheaper, does not always mean it is rubbish.. Sometimes it can but in some cases it may just come down to the pure quantity of product the company is pushing out..

If it wasnt for companies like BC racing making affordable decent quality products, companies like Tein would still be a lot more expensive. Competition can be healthy for the consumer.

Looking at the gap, you could probably fit tires without stretch on them?

Have you noticed a difference in the handling, as the standard set up is fairly firm.

Hey Nardi, I had mine tinted last week. They didn't need to remove the light or parcel shelf, they just slid the tint through the gap and have a squeegee that fits.
First couple of days it looked a little hazy which is normal, but when I examined it closely yesterday it looked awesome.

Ive personally seen the BC factory. Their QC is super strict and their machinery is state of the art, Very well setup company. Ive been using them in my track cars for years now and will continue to do so, if the higher priced brands lowered their price to match BC, i would still buy BC.

I was a bit surprised at seeing BC + Rota on your car as well.

Is that just due to want it naow factor?

What spring rate would be good for a car that sees the track once a month? I notice the rear spring rates are higher than fronts standard but the bc (and others) come with 6kgmm fronts and only 4 rears?
