Hey I was in the market to get coilovers for my car and I was wondering if anyone on here had some advice on what they got and why they like it. I was also wondering where they got it online and also how much they payed without installation, and how much they paid for installation seperately. I read up a little on BC racing and k sport coilovers on the forum and was wondering what i should go for.

thanks

I don't have experience with either coilovers yet. But if it helps at all I am decided on BC Racing Coilovers. I'm not sure why. I have seen them in action and I trust the company for whatever reason.

BC coils are nice. I haven't used them personally but no one has complained yet.

There are also these; http://www.raceonusa.com/nissa...08-09

I will be getting these soon enough.

If you do decide to get the D2s from Race on, Let DJ know Richard sent you and he can hook you up.

I have the BC Racing Coilovers and paid $999 shipped from Circuitmotorsports.net

At first I was a bit sketchy on getting these because I had never heard of BC Racing before. I research on them and it seem many people in the G and Z forum thought they were better than the Tein SS Coilover. So I said what the heck and got them instead of waiting for Tein.

I don't regret getting these at all. They are very good and heavy out the box. Quality is top notch. The handling is very nice and smooth. I have mine set to 15 so it does ride stiffer (in SoCal where road is not so bad at all). Overall I said these are worth it for the price.

I install these myself so I wouldn't know how much installation will be but if you were to take it to a shop I would say around 200-350 depending on the shop you take it to. I had a shop install my coilovers when I had my old Eclipse GS-T and I believe i paid 250ish at a local performance shop.

Did you rectify the camber issue? Were you able to get correct alignment?
