where to buy bc type br

[Best_name_available]

i need to buy a set quick because schools right around the corner and the 325is is still a 4x4. i found lots of sites that sell them but i need one that has the following.

1. 7kg/mm front
2. 10kg/mm rear
3. extreme drop option

i have found all three of these options seperately but not all from one supplier does anyone know of a place? thanks.

none of them come with these specs. Standard from BC is usually 6kg/6kg. They can be ordered in a variety of rates though.

see above.

no such thing as extreme drop option. All they would have specified was springs with the shortest length, which really hurts your spring rates (ie, you can't get every spring rate in every length spring) and is kind of pointless really as they have base height adjustments which allow you to change the ride height without preloading the spring. If you can't get enough adjustment out of these, then you'll have to change to air bags or something because I could sit mine about 70mm from the ground and easily still have another inch of adjustment in it.

And, fyi, better off sticking with roughly 2kg splits front to rear. 6kg/8kg, 8kg/10kg, etc.

Does 6kg/8kg sound to soft? It's just a spirited street car that will see very little track time

Check the BC thread for opinions on spring rates.

I have 10kg front and 12 kg rear and it can be pretty miserable on the street. I also have to watch speeds in areas with sharp hills because I will get air. Firm as hell through corners though!

If it's just for street go with like 6kg/8kg. I'd contact BC directly for availability. They were able to do my "custom" spring rates very quick. They don't even revalve the shocks if you go +/- 2kg of the standard (which is 6kg/6kg I believe)
