As well as custom spring rates and a few other things.

Hmm work out to be just under grand if ya want pillow ball mounts plus shipping rates are norm for most coilovers reckon cheaper to buy here mate

I don't think it'd be any more expensive than the BC's though?

And I don't know wtf is up with their aus site. There's no contact info, and you can't seem to buy anything off it anyway?

Not stingy so much as I want the best for my money? That being said, if I have a ride in c3rbera's car and find it bearable, then I might consider them. But I don't think the ebay seller for the BC's is going to respring and revalve for me if I want it less firm. (haven't checked though, mind you.)

Well you rode in mine with them. Biggest difference for ride will be tyre profile.

Hmm. You've also got the 7kg/5kg rates I assume?

I've got time to think about it anyway, won't have money spare for them for a while yet.

Hey, it's not that ridiculous. I figure if fto-007 said he'd run 235 on a 9.5 in future, with the power he's putting down, then 225 on a 9 is okay for me. :lol:

And in the coilovers case it's everyone saying the regular spring rates are too stiff.

For a while mine were on the hardest setting with low profile tyres and I didn't care.
Quit being a girl lol.


But in all seriousness, about 4 clicks off full soft and it's pretty normal.
