see below, as a system for track and road the BC are hard to beat

to clear some rumors up the following coils are made in the following places (megan, mister and BC are all made buy Bor Chan) while i didnt like some of the fitments of the BC the system is a very good for the money

and (K-Sport, Tein and D2 all come from the same place for the mini, same for the K-Sport and D2 brakes) - from reports and feedback in the states i wouldnt use this lot

the APs are good and ok for street but are for stance more than track or faster stuff there a derivative of the Witec but designed to go even lower

James I have been told that the BC ones will rust in no time and the quality of them is low?

Graham, Alski and Sy Russ and Damo all have them and ive not seen them rust up too much, all coilovers will rust if not greased up and cleaned, the Inox on the KW is the best ive seen also the m7s on Floofs car have stood up well but he keeps them clean, my cross are rusted but will do well with a clean up

coilovers are not a fit and forget part, to get the best out of them they need regaular cleaning and greasing

[futureal33]

Is that an off the car job to clean/grease them? or can you do it while they are fitted?

[Jamesf]

just take the wheels off or you can do it on a ramp

I'm guessing the greasing part is on the piston itself, what grease should one use? Just regular LM grease?

no its to prorect the threads, as they are the bit that rusts and gets clogged, the pistons have dust covers and can be re built the shock body is the vital part to keep clean so you can rasie and lower

I'm running BC on mine as well and as James said. For the money it is hard to beat. I have no complaints or regrets.

is it still the case that you cant rock a caveman stance on BC's?
