B.C. Racing Coilover

[bry]

^ make sure where the strut brace bolts on is tight, also check that the main nut on the shock body is tight (the one visible from engine bay, below the damper knob), these are usually tightened with a rattle gun but if you don't have one you can place a wrench/shifter on there to stop the shock from spinning as you tighten the nut. If this doesn't help check that everything else is tight too!

I've had BC's (BR spec) in my old 180, and have some in my current S14, both used for drifting/hills driving with a bit of street driving and I love them. They are quite comfy (run on nearly full soft for street, about 2/3 stiff for track or hills) and don't bounce around like plenty of other coilover's I've used. Haven't had any problems at all apart from one of the lower brackets being incorrect when I bought them, minor issue and was easily fixed.

For an entry level coilover they are great value, and wouldn't bother buying alot of other stuff (I've had new JIC's, buddy clubs, Greddy type S) over these especially for car that's not very serious. For something a bit higher end I would go with Silkroad/Section RM-A8 or Tein Monoflex before thinking about going with high end bilsteins.. but then we are talking $4k+

Yep got a set of Buddyclub N+ from jdm yard for $1600 best u can get for that price range

$1850 for BC is a ripoff... Might as well get Buddyclub N+ for $1600 and then get it installed for $250.

[Riced_Civic]

$1850 that is expensive for BCs V1 or BR but for the ER model its an ok price.

v1 $1199 from justjap or 1299 for the br from the same place... What i want to know is, are the dampers on the v1 softer then the br? i am aware that the spring rates are the same... Also am aware that wholsesussy cant get the br series....

[Riced_Civic]

they prob are different, they prob also made of different material and made in a different process

Pull off the wheel and check the positions of the sleeves i.e if there is a space between them which may cause slapping.

Alternately look in the engine bay and see if the top nut that holds the shock captive is loose.

Check all the bolts connecting to points of the sussy and make sure they are tight.

If you have had a look and have no idea, check other aspects of the vehicle suspension/hub/driveshafts/cvs etc.
