BC Coilovers
Hey guys anyone have any experience with the BC coilovers for a first gen? Not finding a ton of info on them and the spring rates seem somewhat high? https://coiloverdepot.com/collection...lovers-br-type

Are they using metric, as in 5KG/mm front and 3.5KG/mm rear? That would make sense. I'm using BC Racing Gold on my FB with 8KG/mm front and 4KG/mm rear, but I'll be changing to 6KG/mm front soon. Those rates are pretty much spot on for a street car, not too rough at all.

edit: I found this handy information on the site: "Ride height is independently user adjustable so you can dial in the exact look to reflect your driving style and performance needs." So they do adjust height, but how much???

Would these just bolt right in? Also would they lift the car any?? My gut says they do bolt right in and that they would lift the car xD

Awesome
Of course just found this https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generati...-pics-1137367/ you’ll have to cut and weld the spindles and rear is not a true coil-over shock but it’s basically mounted the same way it comes stock and there is something about trimming a bump bushing down so you can go lower

Yeah they are perfect. I have front and rear subframe swaps but in terms of vehicle weight vs spring rate those are just about perfect for street use.

Timing
I also found a vid that came out today where they cut and weld on the Hoonigan build battle. https://youtu.be/XPeNf3dVQY4

Since it was mentioned in the video that he was able to just purchase just the front coilovers from BC.
I wonder if I can purchase just the rear setup. I already have the front of my car setup with all the parts T3 sells.

The guys down here in California leave around 2 inches of the strut tube and slide the BC coilover sleeve over it and then seat and weld in the same spot as the picture above.
