BC Racing coilovers Installed
I just finished installing the BC Racing (BR series Coilovers), and I can honestly say I am very pleased with the ride improvement to my SS. I had the DSE springs and swaybars installed a little over 4 months and was very happy with the improved stance (settled around 1 3/4 inch drop) and much improved handling.
My only complaint was that on the poorly maintained highways around town, some of the bumps and transitions would feel really harsh. If I hit a moderate pothole at freeway speed, the rearend would get pretty unsettled. I was following the threads by 6liter, and Tristian at Circuit Motorsports and thought the BC coilovers would be worth a try. Installation wasn't too bad. I set them up to keep the ride height that I had with the DSE kit. A brief test drive and I can't believe the difference. Still great handling, but a more predictable response to imperfections on the road. Ride quality is a little firmer than stock. So, for all those on the fence about coilovers, you should go for them! Give Tristian a call, he has been very helpful with all my endless questions, and has an excellent product for our Camaro's.

Hi D69chris,
Install wasn't bad at all. Instructions were written by someone who probably speaks english as a second language though. With all the great coilover installation threads on the forum, I was able to get them in taking my time in about 3.5 hrs.

Sounds like these are some nice coilovers.
Maybe I should forget about my KW V1's I order 3 weeks ago and still haven't received and go with these instead. I would save a few hundred dollars in the process as well. |
