Does anyone of you have bought any BC COilover before? How much?
i wanna get one for myself and i would like to know the normal market price for that. i am afraid i would get ripped off. Thanks

I just order the racing spec coil over

and they sold me its coming mid next month!

I just cant wait!!!

it seems RRP for EP3/DC5 coilovers are more ex than other Hondas like DC2.

this applies to Tein, BC and some other brands that i saw.

You know there are a few quality coil overs on the for sale section for EP3/DC5!

apparently yes but the rear bushing needs to be shaved a little...sounds plausible...but i would rather buy a coilover that's made for the EP3...

and also something to do with the tie rod ends on one being bigger or something as well, been through the fitting thoroughly recently.

I've had a friend fit DC5R coilvoers on an EP3R.

You need to use DC5R tie rod ends and you need to shave some of the metal bushings as the DC5R tie rod ends and bushes are larger than EP3R.

You could, but if you can pick up a good used set of DC5R ones for half the price of a new EP3 one , it might be a good choice.

i know...but still tossing up the options and also what coilover to go for...the main thing is that i would prefer to buy something new rather than second hand...but on the other hand...it makes a difference of more than $1000...omg the choices...LOL... :)

Yes I agree, it is always better to get new especially when it comes to coilover.
i am saving up now and probably i will go for BC.

anyway, anyone of you looking for rims? its because i know one guy (not from this forum) is stocking work wheels xd9 bronze 18" by 8.
as far as i know the price is a little cheaper than the rrp in this forum. you might even push the price further if you are really keen

questera, i've been looking around for that exact wheel. send me a pm with the details.
