I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

BC Racing coilovers

Post by TURBevO8 » March 10, 2007

Anybody know anything about the BC Racing coilovers? They had a pretty good review on http://www.evolutionm.net and are a good price.

I am also considering the Megan Racing street coilovers, Helix DNA, the Tein Basics, and maybe some more expensive ones like the Tein Super Streets or JIC FLT-A1s if I feel it is necessary to stick with a brand such as that.

To be honest I am a coilover newb so any info would be appreciated at this point.

Those BC racing ones look cool, similar to my buddyclub N+'s, but definitely not the same thing.

Well I plan to mostly use the car for daily driving and every Saturday I go out on the back roads of West or South Central PA and beat the crap out of it in the mountains. I would say in time I will do some autox too but I would say in short I need something that can handle some hard weekend driving on back roads. The stock suspension is actually good enough but if I could get something just a little better I would be happy.

I am mostly interested in camber and ride height adjustment over rebound and damping and all that. I mean its not a track car so I dont need anything overkill. Although the BCs are 32-way adjustable and come with front camber plates and upper pillow ball mounts. They are not rebuildable but you can buy a replacement strut for $95 per corner which is nothing. They also also make an inverted version which I will go with. My stock struts are inverted and as you all know that helps with side loading. $1,069 shipped for the inverted ones with 8kg/mm springs up front and 6 in the back.

Again, they had a great review on a reputable site. I am not going to buy till winter so I will research the hell out of these and many others and go from coilover newb to guru!! :D

To be honest, whether or not you're on the track vs. daily driving, I wouldn't get anything other than Zeals for the EVO.
They are truly one step above the others when it comes to quality, and of course longevity.

16K 14K on Zeal S6 felt like I was driving an LS, with sway bars as thick as my ankles; smooth as butter ride, with zero lean.
