Awesome Loop. Any idea on pricing? I've been waiting a long while for coils. I passed up on Eibachs cause in the winter I have to put my stockers back on and It'll be hard to maneuver in 8 inch snow.

I need coils, but don't want to spend more than 1k on it.

Yea, I am staying away from the company that chinaman got his coils from.

Sweet, keep us updated on these loop. I hope these are up to par or better than Tein because I like how those were on my Eclipse GS-T.

MSRP $1250. Depending on how well these sell, they can rage from $950-1150. I also notice BC Racing is a NICO sponsor, they might be able to do a group buy. At the moment they only have a limited production right now since these just came out from the factory.

Of course. I will be doing a review on them. These will definitely be up to par or even better than Tein's since Tein will only be basic and SS. BC Racing coilovers can be comparable to those that are in the price range of $1500 or more. This is why I call these bang for your buck coilovers. Not only that but BC Racing does make coilovers for other really good companies.

I am pretty excited to receive them.

take the car for an alignment and they'll fix the rear camber... you may need aftermarket camber bolts for the rear though... nice drop.. i like it alot... how's the ride quality with the coilovers? Give a review if you can.. thanks for your time.

I don't think a camber kit is really needed because he mention his front was jacked up a bit.

I can't wait for you to write a review for this. I am also going to wait a bit to see how BC racing is also. I can now finally save up for coilovers and wheels. I guess no more exhaust for now lol.

BC Racing coilover update: Looks like BC Racing North America has finally received their production coilovers. I should be receiving these shortly. I am just waiting for them to be shipped from Florida(BC Racing) to California(Me). After I receive them, I can post up my review on these bad boys and get some nice pictures going.

Also there is still a posibility of doing a group buy for NICO. I have put in a word to BC Racing. It seems like a vendor and NICO would need to work something out in order to do this.

Wait, what?! Who prototyped these? I didn't know there were ANY companies in FL. Everyone is in CA! It could have been meeeeeee!!

Ok, sorry for the melodramatics. Seriously though.. I want these BC Racing coilovers, pending review. They would match my car perfectly.
