Paul Whiffin Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 My best selling coil over by far are the BC Racing. I've never heard anything bad said about them, never had a warranty claim, they offer a wide range of adjustment from being soft to hard and they are height adjustable to.

Better then tein ? I do not want to change my coilovers when i'll have More then 700hp. How about corrosion ? As i live on an carribean Island, humidity is higher then 75% all year long.

Though a little more expensive than the BC Racing ones, do they offer any advantages ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMB Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 I found on this forum a diy with the hsd coilovers. Looks good shape What coilovers do you use with your racing cars ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMB Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 How much to ship the hsd to Guadeloupe ? Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Paul uses Niton coilovers in his car. Very nice but very expensive. Check out his website for specs and prices. With reards to Tein and corrosion. I have a set of mono flex on my car which are at least 5 years old. They work perfectly fine with no signs of corrosion. I know they use to have issues but that was some years ago and I believe it's now a bit of an urban legend. If it were me I would go for the HSD, but I think the BC coilovers are superb value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJMKIV Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I've been using Tien Super Street on my TT supra for the last 3 years and think they are fantastic. I live in a very humid climate as well, but have no corrosion issues. They do fit into your budget as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorglub Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Also got a set of Tein Monoflex for 2 years with no issue. They are for sale if you want... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
