[RA73DR]

need i say again

by cheap coilovers are you refering to bc and buddyclub n+ as well ?

[aspirin_ash7]

+1 eibach pro kit + koni yellow shocks.

Had the pro kit on my dc5 base and currently in the process of getting some Koni Yellows + Eibach Prokit fitted on dc5s
They handle great and here is a useful thread from a few months ago where DreadAngel helped me alot too.

ebay has yellow konis for 880 together same as quote from spring shop but does any one know anyone or a place that sells eibach pro kit springs ? because ebay is too high because od that postage price from america

[Vvvtec]

heard so many bad things about the pro kit, do your research first

[Daveho1]

adjustability is nice even though i only want lkke a 1inch drop. main concern is performance without having to pay too much for coilovers. meaning, would bc perform well on what you throw at it on the street

[Daveho1]

yes for your purposes at street speeds the BC coilovers will perform well, they have been around for ages now and there are plenty of reviews on em.
although a shock spring combo is fine aswell the price tags arnt that different and you can rebuild, re valve or change springs later if need be.
so basicly;

shocks/spring pros;
pritty good on the street
cheaper in the us

bc coilover pros;
pritty good on the street
competitive price
rebuildable
options of spring rates
very adjustable (not just height son)

[curtis265]

would suggest staying away from BC

they won't outlast the konis and can be just as stiff if u want (i think)

If you insiste on height adjustability get the ground control sleeves.

instant height adjustable coilovers

so basicly;

shocks/spring pros;
pritty good on the street better on street as they have better bump control
cheaper in the us
rebuildable
option son spring rates
can be cheaper than a set of BCs, even with GC's
will easily outlast the BC

bc coilover pros;
pritty good on the street
competitive price
rebuildable
options of spring rates
very adjustable (not just height son)

a lack of information here.

[Daveho1]

You're comparing every single spring/shock combo out there to BC Racing Coilovers.
