BC Racing coilovers

There isn't a lot of feedback on these coilovers. I'm looking around for some FD coils, and these seem to be alright. They also come in 8/6 as howard coleman recommends.

Anyone running these and have an opinion?

I've installed them on 5 subarus and the owners like them a lot. They are better than Megans from a feature perspective. You can get them inverted or standard, and they are droop adjustable. Quality is very good, and I believe they offer a rebuild or trade in program.

I just ordered mine this week from ImportImageracing.com. Give them a call, they will give you a great price.

I have an FC. I will post up some pictures and a review.

2 guys I know personally daily drive with them everyday and have had no problems for 20-30K miles each. I have driven both cars hard on the street but not on the track. One has the inverted damper option and one has the standard model.

Well I am going to be doing a fair bit of tracking, and possibly Solo1 (canada's version of timeattack) so they need to be capeable on the track.

I would get something more "proven" but I can't afford 3k for coils right now. The BC's would be to hold me over until I can get something better... or who knows if I like them I might keep them.

Pretty much all my car will be used for is open tracking. I think the BCs will be fine until I step up to expensive stuff.

and you can choose your spring rates. I asked for 8/6 and he said it was no problem, it would just be a week or so longer wait for them to get re-valved.

Call him for a better deal. I got them much cheaper than the Ebay price, and other prices I found.

I've got them on my Forester XT. I've been very pleased with them. Their manners on the street and track are great for their cost.

That has been my feeling with them on Subarus. I should have mine early next week. They are finally in the country

Good kit. I have them installed on my FC, Part: Mazda RX7 87-92 BC-Racing Coilover Kit [BR-RA] - #213970.

Didn't expect it to drop the car 3 inches (or more) on the highest setting tho.
