Just heard about a guy in my area selling bc coilovers sealed in box for $900... from what I gather that is an fair price. But i'm cheap so just wondering if they are worth it? Haven't heard a bad thing about them yet, all good reviews I am reading. Just wondering how they stack up to the competition for a DD car. Last post I read on them was from 2010 so I want some fresh info :mbiggrin:

Thanks for the advice in advance :thankyou:

They are good for what they are, I had them on for about a year, good quality and performs well on a DD car. They are within the same company that makes the Megan coil over systems products as well, although i would say they are made better than Megans and with more features.

i love my type BRs- been on the car for over a year now and they are solid. BC is gravy in my book.

I am considering a set of the BR Type myself, I am probably gonna buy from corsport. Is there anything stock I need to buy to install these? New mounts or anything or are they all inclusive? Thanks.

if you dont have already- you will need a rear camber kit. the fronts come with adjustable camber plates on the strut mounts. you may need front camber bolts as well depending on how low you want to go.

Thanks diff. Already have a rear camber kit on the car. Not planning to go any lower than 1.5".

make sure you use plenty of antisieze. other than that you don't really need anything extra. you may end up needing new tie rods depending on how your old ones are. soak them along with everything else in PB blaster for at least 2 or 3 days before you start and it will make your life easier.

I may be considering these down the line. They seem to have good words so far.
