Morning all
Have been considering a suspension refresh for a while.
Had ruled out BC coilovers as i believed  them too be to hard for general use.
The price however makes them too tempting to over look.
Is there anyone in Kent, SE London Essex or Surrey with the 4/6 BC's fitted who would be willing to take me out for a ride?
Many thanks.

It's a bit of a risk to take if i don't like them.
Was really hoping i could get a ride.
Anybody anywhere running BC 4/6 springs who would take me for a ride?

I've had tein coilovers and the ride was too harsh for the road even on sofer setting.
All would depend on how your gonna drive the 2? Matts brace and tein springs have been my best setup personally.

I have Matts brace and TTE springs.
My original thought was to go for new KYB shocks ( 60k on the clock) new drop links and uprated ARBs.
It's just that some people say coilovers are too hard others say they're ok and i wanted to try for myself.
I'd really like the TRD sportivo kit but the cost is extortionate.

Thought he did wasn't sure of the springs he has.
Don't want to be too pushy.
What are the spring rates on your teins?

Mine are 3/4 with the big tyres it makes a firm but not breaking your back bouncy, unless you find the common site of a pot hole.

On a serious note Scott, if you did get some and didn't like them you could sell them very easily, if not on here, to a mr2 championship racer. "As new" would sell very quickly!

I would loose something on them though. And as i have no facilities for fitting I'd have to fork out for that.

Jfdi!

4/6 springs should be no problem for you. BC are great value for money, decent quality, and BC are really good at customer service with spares readily available

Ummm don't you run 5/7 on yours?

You should get a job in PR for them.

Yes 5/7, if you want to go hardcore. But from the original post it sounded like 4/6 would be more relaxed.

I am going to call them and ask why i can't have 3/5 they make springs like that anyway so what would the technicalities be.
I read elsewhere that perhaps the shocks wouldn't work so well for a softer spring but i know nothing.
