BC Coilovers

[2700gavin]

I've decided to move away from purchasing lowering springs and going to save for coilovers. Has anybody got BC Coilovers on theirs , if so what do think of them. Any good ?

[Joikale]

I'm thinking the same thing myself, any good peeps?

[peter thomson]

Nutter John is running these on his Evo and appears to be very happy with them .There is also a review from one of the guys on OZVR4 , again he is happy with them

[Nutter_John]

Yeah I'm happy with em on the Evo , little hash on very bumpy roads ,but they really come into there own on hard fast bends

[peter thomson]

Hi all,

i am sure that from people responses the BC product is good!

just a little warning note:-
one of my friend is having real trouble getting the BC coilovers after paying from them. he has been wiating a long, long time. not sure who he has bought them through but i will post up more info when i get from him.
i don't mean to scare you buy putting this post up, but i couldn't sit here and not say anything.

I can probably still get a good price on a group buy for these

[miller]

Kyle,

Did you already get a price? I must have missed it so, any links to said thread?

[pitslayer]

Price was dependant on how many were ordered,, search for bc coilover groupbuy or something like that

[Nutter_John]

They were priced at £570 from a place in wales , but the last customer who bought them had not recieved them after 4 weeks , Ask Benh for a price as he can resell them ( price aint everything Service is )

I'm pretty sure these are the same as BC Coilovers.
I remember enquiring about them a while ago for the Legnum..
I'll see if i can find the reply i got..

Cheers

The issue with those ones will be that the aftersales will end up crap , just as when the people on here got issues with the dyamma one the company in uk could not get the problem resolved by the twainese company . Where as with BC there a lot bigger and have a uk site as well .

Not always like that John..

Have had issues with Car parts as well as Electrical items from far off lands before .. and upto yet i have had good aftersales ..
And just cos a company is UK based it doesn't mean the aftersales is going to be good :speechles
I've dealt with plenty of shiite companys in the UK.. :speechles

Each to there own.. Some like to pay top buck price fr UK based items.. others like to get items cheaper from far off lands..
But like i say.. the choice is the buyers /yes

[Nutter_John]

I totally agree that they are not always like that but I have given one clear case of where it has been .

Those coilover could turn out to be a great bargin if you don't mind waiting 60-80 days delivery and you don't get stung for inport duty . But you will have to treat it as a gamble if anything goes wrong with them as you have no protection under UK Law . Where as if you buy them from UK company you are protected by the SOGA


Personaly I would take the chance but that does not mean I would advise other too , but you are correct buyers choice after all

[Wodjno]

Couldn't find original message i received from seller. So asked the question again..

Here is the question submitted and the reply...

Hi

Q...I have a 1999 Galant VR4.
Will these fit my car ?
Also they look near identical to BC Racing Coilovers ? Are they manufactuered by the same compony. Also can you mark them as a gift when shipped to save on import duty and taxes into the UK..

Regards

Glenn

A... Hi, there, we have your kit. We cannot let you know which company produce this kit but it's a famous manufactuer to make it. If you need, I'll mark as a gift on the shipping invoice.
If you need, please press buy it now button then we can process your order immediately.
Thanks and have a good day.



I'm sure in the original message he said that they were the same as BC Coilovers..

"YOU DECIDE" :D

Anyway it's there as an option /yes

Cheers

Wodj :D

[Nutter_John]

Yeah he says in his advert on ebay BCC

quote

BG coil-over are manufactured by BCC which is the famous coilover manufacturer in Taiwan

[Joikale]

I've been looking also a set from D2 which is from the same manufacturer as BC-racing... price would be tempting... and that D2-set would come with two years warranty.

[pezza]

Yes I exchanged emails with that Seller too, he seemed a little cagey which put me off. But those coilys popular with the VeeDub guys.

[giblet]

I can probably still get a good price on a group buy for these

Any update on this? I need some coilovers badly as the current bilsteins are far too low for me, but only got around 400 quid to spare after buying the car :(

[Davezj]

well here is a BG coilover new add on ebay.

with shipping it slightlty over the £400 mark at £418
