Rob_Mitchell Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Been browsing and cant really find a good thread to go by. Anyway!... Im looking at changing the suspension on the car from the tein super streets which i have, they have only done about 1000miles and virtually brand new but i fancy a change. I have read good things on the BC coilovers but i was wondering peoples views on them who run that setup. keep to topic please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 BC's for me all the way. There way more comfortable that Tein, even on the hard setting, there fully adjustable and come with top mounts. What more can you ask for for 600 quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Thats whats attracting me to them John, the teins ride is a bit hard but i have heard the BC coilovers offer a nice ride. Ill order them up and then try them out but ill get them setup properly at WIM. Just wanted to check peoples opinions who have them or have had them.

johnny g Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I'll be looking at the H&R ones - sensible spring rates and the BMW ladies love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Ive had both tein and BCs and the later was better by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slugger1 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I have BC's fitted and find them very good. Much better than the Teins I had before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackin_n_bashin Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Love my BC's for the price they were at when I bought them. Ran them in for 500ish miles on the softest setting, now they feel really good whether soft or fully stiff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L18msy Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Got Teins on mine, didnt last long before 3 started leaking, about 2 years 10k miles iirc. Got BC's on their way soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got BC's on their way soon. my car wont even see 10k lol, but still not good news on yours after only 3 years. My super streets are still like new, but then they would be if i dont use the car lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 BC all the way mate. I've had both and I think the ride and response from the BC's is much nicer than the Tein SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbt Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I have BC's on mine' good value and very pleased with them - run closer to soft setting than hard which gives a fair trade off on handling and ride comfort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
