Is 6/4 kg/mm really going to kill my car ??
Thanks for the reply. As it happens, I didn't settle on BC Racing at
random. I have been looking at various options for several years as I
work (endlessly) on engine and management issues. I first became
interested in this style of coilover with spindles when the GReddy units
came out a few years back.

At the time, the GReddy's were a bit expensive, only had an 8/6kg/mm
spring set, and did not have the bearing under the pillowball at the front.
Since then I have discovered the BC make coilovers for several other
vendors, and are very possibily the largest manufacturer of coilovers in
the world. Also, they are not in mainland China, but Taiwan.

If you visit their website, you will see that they have a whole range of
styles, and a wide range of vehicle fitments. I have examined the actual
product in store, and consider the quality and presentation to be
exceptional for the price range... and they make black coilovers Smile

If you look at this information, I think you will see that there is little
chance that they will be as bad as the K-Sport units, which are widely
regarded as being well down the quality ladder.

My interest in using the BC units is to have a wider range of damping
adjustment, the ability to corner weight, raise and lower the car, and
of course, the bling factor Tongue If it were available, I would prefer to have
4/3kg/mm springs. However, if the shock valving is matched to the
springs, I think 6/4 may deliver an acceptable ride for a car that is not
a daily driver, nor a dedicated race car.

Cheers... jondee86
