BC Coilovers fitted..........

[Nealevo]

..... After the group buy thread died of death with a 10 week wait for delivery, I took it upon myself just to buy some. They arrived next day, so a quick call to Hamish at HLM, to see if it was possible to loan a ramp for an hour and they were fitted.

Very simple to fit, if I can anyone can, and a few adjustment with the info received from Woody (thanks)

The ride is a little firmer than my Koni FSDs that I fitted a couple of months ago, but I have to say they are superb. Better traction and alot better in the twisty bits.



So thanks to Hamish for all the abuse today and Woody for making me spend money.

Need to clean that wheel arch properly letting the car down pmsl

I think the group buy is still on, we're saving up for Christmas never mind 10 weeks

Interesting to know they give a firm ride, not rock solid I hope

Looking good mate will send u invoice for the info on set up

[stribo]

Look good mate, if you want to know what a firm ride is you should try my C70.

I used to have those coilovers fitted mate, they were awful, I'm surprised you still have them on, these are a million times better. Well worth anyone's money in my opinion.

TBH, I can't afford a set of BC coilovers yet, and would rather spend the money, and a bit extra on a LSD. Other than the ride, the car handles really well on them, and corners fairly flat, even at track speeds.

I think you've made the right choice Neal...

I was so impressed by the way these transformed Woody's car after he fitted them. I honestly think they rival KW V2's in terms of the quality and ride but at half the price.

Now you need to set a lap time somewhere and begin a benchmark

Looking forward to seeing how you get along with these Neal as im at a cross roads what to do with the gull it must be able to have a half decent ride for every day use

[AcidicDavey]

It is bloody annoying that I have an AWD.

I will be putting coilovers on it soon but the options are limited and the cheapest I've found are KW V2's at £1140ish from Motorsport World. Will ring around a bit when I actually have nearer that mark!

Well I am rapidly running out of patience with the group buy, but I also have no spare money, plus the wife would kill me if a set of coilovers turned up here. I think I might send them to HLM and see if she notices how much lower Betsy sits?

That may be a good idea, but it probably doesn't matter now if she whips your bits off.......
