First off almost all coilovers are made in the same place JIC MEGAN ISIS BC ect ect the only real difference is the people that go over then find things wrong and fix it then rebadge it but if you want a GOOD SET save up and get stace gr+ or GR+ pro I have the +pro on my s14 and LOVED them and they are made right here in the USA

i have BCs and love them. well worth the price imo and they are easily rebuild-able. no need to even send them back

OutlawzPrez 09-22-2011 11:06 PM

Do u recommend any sites to buy bc?

BC coilvers- Been with the company for 5 years now i think. Never had a problem i have switched up my spring rate do to different setups that i use. But lets be honest unless you're going harcore all "super drifter" then the basic BC coilovers are what you want.... I have sold all three versions of the coilovers but the BR version is would suit you fine. PM me and i will hook you up

OutlawzPrez 09-23-2011 12:03 PM

I refuse to post my serious opinion about certain coilovers as I've already said it, but this guy knows what he's talking about. He's got more research on his website than nearly 98% of people actually perform before buying suspension components and has a race dominating car to prove it.

Alas, this is about drifting and it realitively cheap stuff works, then go for it.

and that is why cheap coilovers are cheap.
Its all about the shocks in coilovers. ****ty shocks, ****ty coilovers.
When you adjust a shock with its many different settings, its suppose to be a linear change. Some crappy coilovers do not change whether at 1 or at 16 or they change so little.

Yup BCs are baller genetics.....Alot of us that ACTUALLY drift use them and have no problem with'em.....im think about get a set for my daily s14 with some really soft spring rates

I'm running ISC coilovers on the Baja.

They were just shy of 800 shipped to my door.

They're made for a Legacy..... a few hundred pounds lighter.... & are holding up pretty well.

Check them out. I got them from AJW Performance in New England.

It's just drifting. Weld the stock springs together for all I care.

Tikiko illuminas might be a good setup

DPancoast 11-07-2011 10:36 PM

You can get function form type 2.5s with custom spring rates for about $1000 new

starkos14 11-08-2011 12:03 PM

Just got BC type BR for my gs300, and wow do I really like them. Debating getting a set for the s14, or PBM.. cant decide... feel like the extra $100 would be well spent with the PBM.

Reese 11-10-2011 02:27 AM

Yeah dude BCs FTW.......hit me up stark i have a sweet BC hook up for ya

ALL Japanese coilovers are a bag of dicks.

ALL of um. Look at the coilovers used by most of the hi end jap shops...Amuse-Bilstein PanSpeed-Onlins ASM--Sacks Mines-Bilstein

The best shocks are made in the USA and GERMANY.

High-five. Germany's TUV standards make their stuff radical.
