Review: BC Racing BR Type Coilovers

[Loop]

Loop, is there any squeeking noises from the coil?and have u tried to go over speed bumps?

No rattles or squeaking. Everything is good, make sure to torque the bolts to its recommendation and preload the rear.

I am not 100% what is the correct nut size since I bought the wrong size myself. I believe it is m12x1.25 though. I will know soon when I get my new bolts from Nissan.

Okay, I just confirm it is m12x1.25 locking nut. BC Racing should be supplying the correct locking nut size for feature kits or even the up coming kits. If not, they are really cheap, I got another 2 locking nut for 98 cents from King Bolt.

After looking at these I think everything is top notch but there's one final issue with the wheel gap: the left and right of the wheels. It's time for you to step up and prototype some kind of extender kit (OR a whole NEW kit) to eliminate the gap.

Since you have the ED kit, maybe you can get them to... Extend the bumpers, side skirts, and fenders a little bit?

Or just get more tire to fill the sides.

If you read my review, I explained why it's not drop. These coilovers are fully adjustable. You can adjust these to your style. i.e slam or stock height.

Take consideration that I have a good amount of reduce weight on my car(in-cabin and exterior) and my tires are stretch thus sidewall is a bit smaller.

[hamandbacon]

stretch tires is the way to go these days

So did u found out a way to adjust the front camber after it is install? or do we still have to adjust it b4 we install it , which is kinda a pain

[michaelthepsycho]

Not the height. The side gaps! The part that NISSAN messed up, not you or the coilovers can fix.

Not yet. I haven't adjusted mine yet as I haven't rub in the front. The only reason I see to adjust the front camber is for aggressive wheel setups or to correct your alignment.

I apologize. It was hard to understand what you were talking about in the first place. I am still kind of confuse but I think I know what you mean now.

man......im trying to get on this but damn shipping is gonna cost me an extra $138!!! I guess hawaii isnt part of the US when it comes to "free shipping to US"!!

[dangeris]

Ok,..just saw this thread and read the GB thread as well and I'm all over this. However, The only thing that is concerning is the camber adjustment. Vince, I know you said that you haven't (at the time of writing) messed with the height. Basically you installed the coilovers the way they came. In doing that did you noticed a lot of camber on the front and rear wheels? Not being able to adjust it makes me leary on getting these. Frankly I don't want to be chewing up new tires because of the camber or taking off the setup to adjust the camber everytime I need an alignment.

This goes for a lot companies when shipping to Hawaii. This is not a light weight package, the box is 60lbs!

Installing these type of suspension parts, it is recommend to get an alignment. A lifetime alignment would be great in this situation. Though I didn't notice much camber in the front. If anything, it is very minimal and should not wear the tires out. But for the rears, there is a slight camber, a little more than Eibach's. This is where you may need to look closely at your tires. If that is the case, get an alignment asap. Hopefully the OEM rear camber can be adjusted enough.

i'm new to this.. but what is the difference between the group buy and just buying straight from circuitmotorsports.com they offer $999 w/ free shipping as well. i thought having a group buy might get us a discount since there would be a lot of buyers?..

[mcheddadi]

lol didn't notice that it was the same price as the GB...that sucks....i'll go ask them what the hell

http://circuitmotorsports.net/...=7746

[hamandbacon]

yea that was the only reason why i didnt buy the coilovers now because it wouldnt make any different if i bought it later since its the same price anyways

[MorningViewCoupe]

yes finally coilovers for the coupe....Looks amazing..Will be buying soon.

[vqaltima]

That is one of the best altima coupes I've seen.

[dangeris]
