BC Racing Coilovers
Front coilovers are installed! I got the rear disassembled but am waiting on sub frame bushings to arrive before i install the coil overs and everything else. Pictures below of the finished product, also there will be videos on the YouTube link in my signature every Saturday covering the install of my suspension parts. Install was very easy with overall, if your installing these and have any questions ask here or feel free to PM me and I'll be glad to answer them.

What do you think the weight difference is from the coilovers in front compared to stock parts? Any weight savings? Also how do you like the BC's ?... looks good on your car from what I can see!

They are definitely lighter than the stock setup for sure! I don't know exactly how much, but I'd say at least 5LBS per side. I haven't driven on them yet so i cant give you much of a review yet, but the construction of them is defiantly great. As of now I would recommend them to anyone that is interested, but i haven't driven on them yet.

I ordered mine through Phastek and when i placed the order it had me select if i had a 2010-2012 or a 2013-2015 since there are some changes between the years. If your unsure I'd suggest calling BC or Phastek for some help. I'm happy to provide as much as I can!

I'll definitely post a review when i get to drive on them! Unfortunately I'm out of town for the rest of the week and wont be able to work on it this weekend, so the install is slightly delayed.

Hope they work out for you. BC is eh, at least on other platforms there are many issues with mystery clunks and they may be underdamped for the springs.

Not trying to be a ass, but the comment just sounds like you're throwing something against the wall, hoping it will stick.

He must be thinking of the Megan coilovers as they had a few bad reviews, but the BC's are getting great reviews. I am waiting to see how the OP's test and feedback is on his BC coilovers.

I'm speaking of my experience in the nissan/infiniti world. I have them on a 350z I have also known others who had them in subaru's with similar issues. On the 350z, they are not highly regarded for the reasons I mentioned. I cannot speak for the Camaro as I am researching for purchase. BC's Megan's and another name which escapes me are made by BC and sold seperately.
