    Default BC Coilovers

    Has anyone on here had any experience with BC coilovers in their 86/ke?

    I'm considering running them instead of cutting down my current struts and welding sleeves on, but I wanted to get some peoples first hand experiences with them??

    I thought you just purchased a sleeve kit with springs and everything...? you still have to cut your struts with these anyways to weld on the OE stubs.....

    the warrenty will cover, all the components including camber plates.. usual things to go is the insert and the spherical bearing in the camber plate. but any breakage due to manufacturing fault is covered.. but off ebay, who knows.

    I had a customer fit them to a 300kw forester, that was 10 months ago, last time i drove it was about 2 months ago, and they still felt alright.

    Yeh mate I did get that kit and it's arriving tommorow but I'm considering changing the plan and going with these. The price difference in setting up front coilovers compared to buying this whole kit is only about 2-300 after I sell my old springs/tops/shocks.
    And aswell as only costing a little bit more, I get the rear coilover setup aswell which to me looks a lot like the Greddy rear setup.


    But I'm sure it's not the same quality as that. Does anyone know if the rear spring in this kit will constantly stay captive?

    Do you know if the springs will stay captive? Front and rear?

    I guess it will come down to how you adjust them
