BC Coilovers?

[Lefty]

What are these like? Looking at the remote reservoir model, I really want something with proper adjustability so that I can set the damping up properly for really twisty, really bumpy roads.

Anyone got experience of them? I have a budget of 2000-2500-ish, was looking for Ohlins road and track but they don't make it for the gc8 impreza any more.

Choices seem to be KW, BC or pukka rally exe-tc stuff.

Only used the cheaper stuff from them. But for the money they're definitely very good.

Better than most of the other cheapish stuff out there.

Thanks. How long did you use them? Happy enough with build quality? I've seen some cheap coilovers looking very tired and shabby after a surprisingly short time!

Anyone got experience of the BC ER series against something like KW V3?

Cheers

Used them in a few cars, easy 2-3 years or more.

Of the budget stuff, they are definitely far better than most. Stuff like KSport, XYZ and other's are nowhere near the quality.

Of course at the same time, Ive seen Tein stuff which might be deemed good quality, half falling apart after a few years. Very rusty everywhere, top plates ending etc.

Thanks chaps, ended up with Bilstein B16, hoping to fit them this weekend
