Review: BC Racing BR Type Coilovers

[BigDankCloud]

Well I got the coils installed last Friday and no camber issues what so ever! I love it! I didn't mess with the height and pretty much installed it right out of the box. Alignment is spot on and camber is perfect

BC Racing Suspensions FTMFW!!!

First... Pics.

Second, what are your overall driving impressions? If I find that I've blown a stock shock now which is causing my rattling noise (see my thread), I'm definately not replacing the OEM and moving to these and will sell the Eibach's.

Third: what are your settings on them now?

okay, i'm not sure if its the same link as mcheddadi since i click on his SPC link and it doesn't work... i was on their site and if you click 2007 - 2009 altima it gives you part number 72055 for rear camber adjustment bolts... is anyone able to confirm this works?

I apologize for the long delay in response. For pics all I have are the pics that I've posted on facebook. Too lazy really to find my camera to take overall pics.
My overall impression about the coilovers is simply amazing. Def. a better, stiffer, controlled ride. Not as bouncy as before with the eibachs. As for settings, I have them set 13F/12R but I do a lot of highway driving so settings will differ from coupe to coupe and people's preferences.

Here's some pics of my coupe entering my driveway. There's only like a half inch lip going into the garage but there is a dip id the driveway going into it. It's probably why the front end drop looks so exaggerated.




And here's some pics with mine and surman's coupe (on Eibachs) when he came over the other weekend. The cigarettes packs will give you an idea of the drop height between the two coupes.

Loop or Dangeris,

I went to a shop today and the owner stated my front struts are installed incorrectly. He stated "where you adjust the front damper, the front camber plate is straight front to back and should be left to right." The area where you have the four bolts which you cannot reach or adjust due to the small gap like the picture you (Loop) have under the Front Camber adjustment paragraph. Is this true? If so how can i rotate the plate so it is sideways (left to right)?

Thanks in advance

Mike

Front camber adjustments: Definitely a bonus feature! I have not tried this, which I will need to do because of my aggressive wheel setup I have. In order to do this, you are going to have to do it before hand because you have very limited access when it’s installed. Here is a picture of what I mean:

Your shop is correct. Rotate the pillow ball till its lined up.

[Bori83]

Loop,

Thanks i have heard so many people tell me different things and not fix the issue. I rather ask here

My cooilovers should be arriving by Wednesday but I wont be able to install then for another two weeks

[Jose3.5]

Installed my front two last night and it was pretty straight forward. I didn't adjust the height, I left them how they came. I took it out for a test drive and these things are stiff. I felt every single bump on the road.

[Mr.Coupe]

This has to be my next mod. The Eibachs ain't cutting it for me anymore.

You need your car first lol

[Mr.Coupe]

You need your car first lol

That's true bruh. I talked to Tim 5 minutes ago. The car is going to be by Tomorrow, but I wont be able to pick it up till next weekend. I got an emergency call from the city of Santa Monica that they need some work done ASAP and it has to be nights because they don't want traffic. Pickey bastards . The contract has been done.

[Jose3.5]

That sucks, well hopefully you can have it by the Stillen event.

[Mr.Coupe]

That sucks, well hopefully you can have it by the Stillen event.

Dude I didn't even think/remember about that. Damn I'm going to have to pick it up during the week. Man that sucks. I'm going to Stillen for sure.

Quick question for the people who have the coilovers and the racingline front stut bar, did you have any issues with the fitting?

I just got my strut bar, but am having issues with the threading on the last hole not being long enough for the nut after the putting the racingline bracket on.

any help would be great, thanks!

been waiting to put it on for weeks!!!

[allan1]

I'm about to order these coilovers and they said I can get any spring rate I want. I don't know much about this so could someone tell what would be the best spring rate. I live in NY so the roads are not the best and I want a comfortable ride. Thanks

[Jose3.5]

I only have the front two installed right now and I have them set to the softest setting and I feel that they are soft and smooth yet still handle better than the eibachs did.

[trigger_storey]

So after reading this over and over and looking up info on it Im still not certain on whether or not they make any products to adjust the rear camber with or without coilovers on the coupe. Any info or feedback thanks

Spc has the camber bolts which will have your rear cambers into spec. Other than the rear camber... Everything else is within spec

[trigger_storey]

I want to look into replacing the entire camber arm. I dont like those bolts at all. I dont want to drill out my rear control arm just to put some bolts in there. Id rather either wait until a adjustable camber arm comes out or get the stock one modified to be adjustable which may be the direction I go if something doesnt come out soon.

so i raised my car yesterday, front end is fine but the back end is still pretty low and for the first time since i put coilovers i acutally scraped by back end while driving to work today.

I went full hight on the front and back but it doesn't seem that way, i was thinking of taking my subs out to see if that would make a difference but i don't know this is gay

sounds like your subs might be the problem, extra weight in the trunk will cause your car sit lower in the back

[Shan786]

i just read somewhere that you have to turn front CW and rear CCW to raise the car....i think that's where my problem is....i must have lowered by back end

does anyone know if BC has online manual since i no longer have mine

[chow]

I'm thinking of grabbing a set of these. Can a total idiot install these with the instructions provided? I'm on a tight budget, need to get these installed ASAP as well. I'm in Canada and the temperatures are around freezing at this time of the year. I'm guessing this wouldn't be enjoyable in this weather?

[IBCoupe]

Mine didn't come with instructions, and as far as I can tell, I didn't screw it up royally.

[Loop]

I like how my thread keeps going and I don't even reply.

[rmead001]

set for sale in the FS section if anyone is looking to buy a set.

[D-Roll]

Bringing this back from the dead! I was doing some research on some coilovers and came across this thread via Google.

I've gotta save for these bad boys!!

I made a review on the new cartridges, 20% less valved than the default settings from the manufacturer. Overall the 20% less valved is a lot street friendlier and better. Thread: ac-bc-racing-br-coilovers-revew-part-ii-t527712.html
