One would hope, quite honestly I have never gotten over the hype around BC coilovers. They are really not as great as people make them out to be. Lol I know some respected members run them and like them... but truth be told they are a Korean coilover that popped up im the early part od this century making coilovers for drift cars. Much like a lot of the Chinese crap.
Do not get me started on a lot of the Japanese brands either lol.
I do not feel they compare to any Koni or Bilstein setup out there. One would be better off getting ST’s as they are lower line KW.
In further thinking I think people like them becuase our cars are over damped from the factory at least prior to 17. The ride was already a bit on the rough and tumble side.
So running BC’s felt pretty decent and adustable ride height has its pros.
Did I digress? Lol I am running the Whiteline with Stock shocks and will most likely swap out to Koni at some point.
After expereincing Koni coilovers in my BMW’s and how nice they ride its hard to get behind most of these lower end coil over manufacturers. Lol
Also who has put any real mileage on BC’s and had them hold up?
Ok I will stop now. Lol
I tend to agree with you here, since if I cannot afford the 'real thing', i.e.; off the shelf Reigers, or Motons or Penskes adapted and fabricated to work on our rides, 2 or 3 way, individually/separately compression and rebound adjustable, reservoir coil overs, then I would rather just go with Koni Sports with a Ground Control coil over conversion kit with LINEAR rate coil over springs (IF they ever release one, which sadly seems
highly unlikely now
), or the Bilstein/M-Sport R1 spec rally setup.
If none of the above was possible/available/affordable, then I would just go with the Swifts on Koni Sports, since I want a LINEAR rate spring with the
LEAST amount of drop possible, along with a substantially higher than factory spring rate, for how I want to/will use this car.
The Swifts
already drop it too much for my uses, so that precludes me from using these Whitelines, even if they actually do have the same type of 'tender spring'-like bunched coils as the Swifts, and are
really linear in wheel travel function as well.
