Just wondering does anyone heard of BC racing coilover for Jazz GD3?... I got quoted AUD1590 include delivery from Sydney to Brisbane... and was wondering should I go for it?

my frd has them in his car and he takes it to track, the quality of the shock is good! no leakin at all and all in good shape after few track days! but the rrp of those in china is around 1000AUD... a bit over priced in Aus, other wise, if u can get them down to 1200 or sumthin, then go for it!

Most of the guys I know (being Sam and Steve above inc) use BC's and they all say it's good as. I'll be getting a set too when I get enough moola.

Thanks for sharing guyz, I think I might give that a miss becoz I couldnt get a cheaper one..(as I suppose AUD1200 should be a reasonable price) However, yesterday my friend mentioned the brand is "JC project", I think it is japanese brand as it has a Japan website too. below is the Australia link at

http://www.jc-project.com.au/



from the Japan web, it only comes with Spec Pro version for Jazz, RRP 144,900yen, but Australia is selling AUD1600... not sure has anyone tried that before...? man~~ so many aftermarket suspension on the market nowadays, I remember back from the past there were only Tein, Cusco..etc... now they have K-sport, JC, BC,.... grrrrr

yes, reason begin most of the parts and coilovers are all made by 1 or 2 factorys and just rebrand and sell as a diff product... now most of the brands dont really hav to R&D, except some japanese brands.... so basically, coilovers around the same price will giv u similar quality and performance...

That's true, that's why Im trying to get a reliable suspension under AUD1500 because I too new about the latest brands on the market and need you guyz to justify whether it is a reliable suspension. Too bad, I couldnt get a good deal for BC racing suspension. I hope JC project suspension is reliable too...

JC-project is a good stuff, low profile Japanese brand.
Checkout their website....
Also key in JC-project at youtube, u will find their drift cars in Japan and China.

They are just basicly same manufacture; different brand and stamp. I'd rather go for second hand cusco or Tein; gotta be careful when choosing too.

By looking at the front strut . JC project one is pretty much old design.

aiks, almost forgot about that shop, I bought the endless pad for my jazz about 4yrs ago. I will try to give them a buzz and see how it goes, with the the price of AUD320, does it include wheel alignment?

WOW !! intsallation 400???? i did mine on GE which is more complicated coz the suspension is under the window ...

got a quote from Centrax... Steven said AUD210 exclude wheel alignment as they dont have the align machine. well.. after top up AUD50 (at quickfit tyres).. I would say AUD260 the cheapest.. man~~~ why OZ charge so much?... anywhere I could get the wheel alignment done for AUD40?

btw, AUD500 quoted from quickfit was crazy~~~
