Wickie Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Coil overs on a daily driver Gen 6? What do you guys think? Have to take HKS lowering springs off as they are Superstrut springs so am thinking coil overs, good or bad move?

johnyboy1976 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) If you have set to a reasonable ride height coil overs can give a very good comfortable ride with benefit of better road holding Love my teins on the gt4 - way better than oem set up Edited February 26, 2015 by johnyboy1976 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggy Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I had BC coilovers on mine,they were fine..infact i had them set to soft when i first put them on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digs Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 love mine. been able to drop but not as much as my lowering springs before, so little more particle but still look good (in my opinion). Set at 10 from soft all round, comfier than the lowering springs. never driven stock so can't comment on that. Really happy with how they ride, and plenty of scope to firm up. Went for the stiffer springs as well of the two choices of st202s, thought mostly to help with the extra weight at the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherv Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I think the BCs on softer setting would be liveable on a daily basis mate plus like said you wont have to drop the car right down either.the BCs BR series have 30 clicks of adjustment.Steve at GT4Play sorted mine and he'll be able to advise on the spring rates available for what you need too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewisek Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 BC's are surprisingly comfy for coilovers. I had a few decent coilovers on various cars in the past but BC are really good. I'd happily daily drive mine, just look for a set with softer spring rates if it's comfort you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matyb Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Bc's on my daily there great, much better than stock, forgotten which springs I have fitted, but all the way to soft is too soft, I am about the same as Digs 10 to 20 and the ride is just right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 What version of the BC coilovers are people running. I'm after a set for my ST202 which is my daily. So want something that is comfortable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrGTFour Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) BC on mine. ST205 My mate has teins, they dangerously failed last night, lock nut on the drivers side sheared dropping that side to the floor as its job is to support the spring. I would not use tein! They dont seem as good quality having experience with both Edited March 2, 2015 by mrGTFour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherv Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 What version of the BC coilovers are people running. I'm after a set for my ST202 which is my daily. So want something that is comfortable.I have the 'BR' series from BC.I had a chat with Steve at GT4play about the spring rates and such,I went for the lower end (typically i cant remember the exact spec) of rating,with 30 clicks of adjustment ; you can go from a firm but pliable ride to a rock hard setting in seconds.Got a really good price going through him.http://www.bc-racing.co.uk/br-series-coilovers Think i went for the 6kg spring for the front and 4 at the rear actually.You can specify right up to about 12k though but that is unnecessary for a road car IMO . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digs Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I went 7 at front 6 at rear, but that was to cope with the weight a bit better of the 3sgte lump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowchinaman Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 My BCs are as comfortable as when I had TRD springs, TRD top mounts and KYB shocks combo. In fact it tackles the speed bumps and pot hole infested streets of London better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
