BC Racing Coilovers

Has anyone tried these out?

The reason I ask is because I am seriously considering ordering these and I was nervous for a few reasons:

1) They are almost $1500 less than PFADT's take on coilovers and about 300$ less than Eibach coilovers

2) They seem to only carry a one year warranty, is this something I should be concerned about?

3) Do they ride alright?

I'm looking for an easily adjustable coilover solution in the $1000-$1500 range

( I believe that Pedders and BC and Eibach are all other alternatives in that range)

Thanks for all the input in advance!
JF

Go with the pedders. I have BC coils on my Infiniti G35X and they are not for everyday driving they bottom out but good for road course, maybe the design for the camaro is different but I didn't want to take the chance.

In most cases - you get what you pay for.

Just search around here - you should be able to get a better idea on what you're looking for. There was a pretty big announcement on the latest development with one of our Site Sponsors

Pedders all the way. Especially now that the coil overs will not void your warranty, since they are now available thru GMSPO

That is very true. Not all coilovers are created equal! With that said, we understand not everyone has the same budget for suspension upgrades on their Camaro. But if you value products that are proven on the track and street, you can rest assured that you get what you pay for.
