Supra N_A Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) well since new wheels are fitted it is now crying out to be lowered LOL! looking at spending £600 to £800 ideally 600 so can use the rest for the set up of the suspension I have been looking at BC racing coilovers which i hear are great.. any other suggestions before i order? who else runs BC coilovers?

Scott Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I wouldn't recommend BCs with your budget being what it is. I would go with HSDs or Meister Rs. The BCs aren't as good in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to disagree with that completly scott as i love my BC coilovers and think they great on the supra, i havent driven a supra with different coilovers but from own experiance think they are very good set of coilovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hear really good things about them tbh.. I know have got the racing series BC's and i got the geometry set up when got new wheels at a local motorsport garage and they have set them up a treat, car is very pradicatble when driving hard and when does step out it easy to bring back under controll. am sorry for bad spelling am tired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried BCs, Megan Racing, TRD, Stock, HSDs, Tein SS. The only ones I haven't tried that I do recommend are Meister R, but that's only based on public opinion and the fact that they are virtually identical to HSDs. Not having tried any others says it all for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OEM suspension is predictable and gives control if it steps out, and again not taking the piss but in an NA its hardly going to lose traction in quite the same way as a VVTi TT or single.

Littler Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'd say HSD's Great ride (Thanks Scott M for the stiffness settings the other day, car drives great now!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I've also got BC coilovers and for the money I can't fault them. Ive drove supras with most types of coilovers (apart from Tein Flex) and the ride is very comfortable with the BCs and the adjustment it massive. When I first fitted mine in actually had the belly of the car on the floor and it wasn't even right down and at full height it looked like a 4x4 lol. When mines back on the road after the bad weather your welcome to come for a run out in it to see what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manny Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Ive got BCs on mine now and they seem to be pretty good. Where my Bilstein/Eibach setup used to skip over bumps the BCs are real smooth and predictable, maybe not as good as H&Rs or Nitrons but for what they cost they're ok.

rock on Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Kwalker705 on here and clubaristo.net is supplying racing logic coilovers ive recently bought a set for my mk2 aristo but not fitted them yet still stockpiling parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of my mates have jap cars mainly skylines and scoobys and they all have different types of coilovers and have driven them and myself and them say the BC's are the fantastic for the money and some of them want them for their cars because on the soft setting its perfect fort he road not to stiff and hard at all, and my n/a loses traction plenty of times when i want her too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Welsh-Stealth- Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 HSD are brilliant, full geo setup &super pro bushers and car handles brilliantly. one of the first things i changed on mine as i really wasnt happy with the stock shocks. can't comment on the BC's but surelly good from the above comments and miester R's do the buisness on track from what i've seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcar Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I would go with the HSD or miester r. I have heard that the after sales service of the miester is top notch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
