I heard theres a problem with the BC coil overs and Stillen front strut tower bar?? Do they not fit together or something?? Looks like I'll definitely be going with BC racing.

honestly as the prototype guy for tein, for the coupes anyway, price is not a factor lol(free), but i really cant see the justification for it being 6 bills more than bc racings like mehdi said. As for a group buy, i tried setting it up with them during the R&D, but i can try and ask again and try setting something up if possible.
Ill call them on Tuesday and see what I can swing. You'll need to pull strings in marketing for lowering the price. $1600 is a lot, but its nothing compared to the $3,000 for the 350z or $3,700 for the GTR. You get quality with TEIN, much like Eibach. Best names in the racing business, and they got there making high quality parts. With high quality and heritage, comes high price.

Good luck with the call. The prices are higher because you are comparing it to Tein's higher models. Those coilovers are simply amazing and pricey. I wish they did make the flex line as I would of actually upgraded. Tein's manufactuer is in Taiwan just like many other coilover companies including BC Racing.

the main diff is that the engine is heaVIER IN THE 3.5 SOOOO that being said the car wouldnt sit right of the springs wouldnt compress right........i didnt notice this until u said this im pissed now.......
I think someone ordered the BC's with a lower spring rate...I think this would work for the 2.5 coupes.

Haha no bro you wont need either...your stock shocks struts come off as well the coilovers is a complete system...with smaller springs on the strut with adjustable heoght ad dampening....sighh guess us 2.5 peeps will have to stick with BC. Can anyone confirm if the BC coilovers fit woth Stillen strut bar??

I was saying that particularly because the GTR is limited to 1 kit at 1 price, $3650 for the SRC kit, and they don't even come with the springs!

I can't make any promises with the phone call, you of all people know how the companies work, but I will sure try. Its worked before

no since you re getting the whole strut assembly (damper+springs) so you don't need deasemble your old strut, you just replace it.
