Has anyone here have any experience with both the road and track use BC coilovers? I want to make sure I am purchasing the correct ones, I expect the racing ones will be harder, I need mine to be quite hard as the wheels run very close to the arches, standard shocks with 30mm springs were too soft and often caught.

 

I am guessing I would be safer (in terms of catching) with the racing coilovers, or are they just too hard for road use?

 

Thanks, Dan

You Could get something like Meister 'R' which are adjustable both for ride height and firmness from almost rock solid to a little firmer than OEM shocks

 

Quite a few people use those

my bc's you can adjust both and i had my ones set to default for firmness which was 8 increments from 8 to 30 30 softest 0 hardest and on 8 it was mega hard like go cart hard for very fast road use, not great for long journeys but if thats what you like plus the bc's are cheaper.

Thanks David, did you have the street use or track use BC's?

Street ones mate but they certainly go more than stiff enough for track use I wouldn't want to be setting them at max stiffness for any road talk about shake your teeth out lol plus they are cheaper and if there matched up with some good quality strut braces I think ultra racing do some good ones and bigger anti roll bars play about with the settings and car should handle just the way you want it too, I just had the coilovers by them self with hicas locked out and on a hard setting it felt good and precise so can only imagine how good would be with decent anti roll bars and quality braces :), Talk to mark derby if your going for the BC's.

These are what I have, not fitted them yet though! Although I will say that when I ordered them they told me not to bother with the pillowball top mounts as they are just too harsh for public roads!
