Which way to go...BC or GC?????

[bmwguy325is]

Go Ohlins or go home

I vote GC, mainly because they are built by a group of enthusiasts, made with all high quality parts and have great customer support.

I have BC's on my e39, and although they ride great, they're still a Taiwanese made kit with in-house shocks rather than the Koni's that GC uses. And good luck trying to get a hold of BC themselves, the best you can do is get in touch with one of their retailers that know only as much as we do.

What suspension setup are you running on your e30?
I need to know, looks so bad ass!

This thread has lots of interesting info. Based on all i have read, I made my decision. GC has arrived!!! Went with 520 in front and 700 in rear. Shortened housings by 2", re enforced spindles and powder coated red. Racing camber plates and Koni adjustable. Pics of install on the way!!!

Bit late but here is something I drew up to help Nando out. There is alot of kiddies here that don't understand you can get something from nothing. This is and example the dimensions are just random.

What other coilovers and suspension setups are you comparing against?

just stock, brahh!

messed with koni yellow's, bilstein, kyb for shocks and various lowering springs.
for coils ive had megans and found that they are complete shit. went through tein's, d2, stance though my favorite set were the silkroad rma-8's.

finally got my bc's installed and i am really impressed with them. i figured since it was in house Taiwanese shocks the ride would be extremely bouncy as usual but with the right dampening it feels amazing. though on full stiffness you might have some internal organs moving around. this isnt my first set of coils so i am not easily impressed. i had them welded by jerick at JMP auto, his work is outstanding over there i highly recommend him.
this is the only pic i have of the drop, the rears are almost maxed and the fronts are no where near maxed. cannot go any lower in the front with out destroying my fender from these balloon tires.

Bc is better because of true coilover

Uh, what?

[ak-]

i know right i still be putting gas over there too, you still working at the same spot?

Nah. I don't work there anymore :p
I live up Halliburton though.

LOL at DTMFiberWerkz selling "exclusive" coilovers...

Exclusive like their "DTM" shifter.

I wouldn't touch the bc's or any of the kits that resemble them.

I love my bc's.


Just thought I'd throw that out there again ;)

Right. It has 40-way adjustment and you can tell the difference on full, medium and low. Surprising. No comment on the products obviously being available at a cheaper price for the same thing? Why not get the one that was 850 instead of spending 1K? It's clearly the same product. I don't need to try them. I have ridden in cars... if you are going from stock suspension to this you will be amazed... if you are going from something decent to this. Your results and review would be different...


*edit*

Sorry 32 way adjustment...

[immajackuup]

the dial does work
max hard=very harsh on road like super stiff
medium=perfect for dd siff
soft max=boat ride.

don't knock on them till you try them which i've try gc with other cars.
