Re: BC Coilovers?
Heard of the 32 settings on this Bor-Chuann brand. Taiwanese made. Fellow brothers Shaaz and Whisky Tango can perhaps share with you on the merits of the BC coilovers.

Re: BC Coilovers?
For the amt of money u pay, i din really expect superb handling but then again.. my car is pretty stiff after installing the coilovers... had them more for than 6mths, still going strong... got a feel for the track once... and still going strong.
For me, it works,handles and moves the way i want it . 32 settings and height adjustable.

Re: BC Coilovers?
No complains so far since April/May this year.
Tracked twice already.
Handles so much better now on the track corners. Less busy then before.
Street usage, I turn to 16clicks front and 12clicks rear. This setting is similar to the EVO stock suspension feel.
On the track, the setting will be 28front and 24rear. Almost zero roll.
For S$1100 for all 4pcs with height/damper adjust and 1year warranty. I would think its value for money comparing to non adjustables set like Sachs Sporting Kit (S$1300?)
My front set comes with camber kit and I paid S$300 more.
Cheers!

Re: BC Coilovers?
I have asked Ricky before and he said BC for E46 models are the same where mounting point is concern.
But diff model has diff weight, so how does the damper varies though height adjust has no issue.
He said, since theres 32clicks, the hardness for different weight cars can be adjusted from there since the spring stiffness is more stiff then other makes within the same category.
Take it as a pinch of salt where shocks performance for heavier car is concern. Unless you dun mind paying S$1100 for trying.

Re: BC Coilovers?
I agreed with u. Suspension design is a science(no joke) so I can't see that a Cab which is about at least 200kg or more heavier using the same suspension as the saloon. The 32clicks is for damping stiffness but that does not take into account of heavier load on the shock itself due to the heavier weight of the car.
Cheers!

Re: BC Coilovers?
At $1100, can't complain.
Ricky says the height adjustment takes care of the different weight bewteen 318 and 320, but I don't think so. My fronts which are at the highest height setting is at 1 finger gap, can't go higher if I wanted to.
T6 should be able to comment on ride comfort as he was in my ride for a long drive. As I've not sat in any other E46s with other coilovers/suspensions I'm not able to compare. But versus stock it is much better, no more roll and sway, taking corners so much more stable and with greater confidence.

Re: BC Coilovers?
Seriously speaking in my very honest opinion, the price vs quality we pay for a set of BC coilovers definitely beats getting a set of Tein's or H&R or Bilsteins.
There are a few forummer's here who have installed the BC and so far I have not had any negative reviews about it. For the price we pay for other "branded" aftermarket coilovers we can purchase 2-3 sets of the BC coilovers... Do the maths...
