++ BC Racing Coilovers++

Ok was looking to get some opinions..

Anyone have them? Thoughts?

Anyone used to have them?

Anyone heard anything about them..?

For me, it will just be for lowering the car a little more than eibach's but a little less than H&R's. I won't be tracking, my car is driven about 2-3 times a week so it's not really a daily driver either. I don't really need to adjust dampener, stiffness etc..

Reason i ask is the $999 shipped deal for them and a GT Spec front tower brace from RavSpec seems like a pretty good deal not to pass up... But if the coil's are **** then obviously i wouldn't make the purchase..

Thanks in advance guys for all the input..

Why not get the Tanabe coils?

I know, that was my other choice.. Only reason i ask about these is as i said they come with the GT Spec Tower Brace...

Which was something i was going to buy anyway...

So tanabe's $900 + Gt Spec $250(?ish right) is $1150 compared to $999...

I have the first set ever of BC coils on a G37 and I am still very happy with them.

They took a beating for a little while because some of the first sets had a rattling issue that has since been corrected. For the money you can not beat them IMO. Plus with the GT Spec brace thrwon in, thats a great deal.

I know alot of people had rattling when they were first released. I'm not sure if they have been fixed yet. If you are wanting a cheaper option than the KWs or Teins, I'd check out the Tanabe coils. After all the crap with the BCs, I'm skeptical.

Yea that was my thought as well bc i was around for all the rattling issues..

I would pony up and get the KW's or Tein but i really just don't have any need for them, all the adjustments and all that stuff is completely useless to me, i literally just need to lower the car a little bit more (without putting stress on my shocks)..

eventhough it's a good deal the most important thing is your satisfaction

That was me as well... I don't track my car or even need the adjustability. I probably would have gone with Tanable should they had been released when I was getting coils.

I love my KWs. Issue free.

Get the BCs, cant go wrong with them.

And you say you dont need dampening adjustability now, but what happens if you get the tanabes and dont like how soft they are, maybe you want it stiffer(thats what she said)

At least with the BCs you have the option to change it to your liking.

And youre also not adjusting the height with the spring compression.

I know some people still hate on the BC's but I know at least 10 G37 or G35 guys that rock their coils pretty hard even on the track and they are all happy. They are super easy to raise and lower and the dampning is sweet and with the extenders all you have to do is open your trunk and hood to adjust. Dont even have to take off the wheels.

There are better coils overall but definitely nothing better at that price.
