Yep im very smart as i already have them on my car. lol You dont say your going to ring and order.

Give us a ring if you want a set, we can extend the offer as we have large stock of units for all Imprezas (bar the latest 2008) these now

I heard from someone on the Forester forum there is a set specifically for the Fozzy. Can you do them at this price?

We can do Forrester ones, thats not a problem. We dont, however, have any in stock. We can do them at the normal price of £649 or, if youre interested, we will extend the same deal from here (25%) if you can get 5 or more people interested from the Forrester forum. Theyd be brought by boat with a 10 week lead time.

Im not hugely up on the Forresters and the listings only state 02+. Theyre for the SG5 chassis, is that what youve got?

Just want to do a bit more research before committing

Thats BC, yes.

Youll not be dissapointed, theyre an absolutely fantastic product for the money. In fact, theyre an absolute fantastic product at a lot more money.

One fo our customers took his 2.5 GC8 and his sons GC8 STI to Croft recently. After his box let go he spent the rest of the day out with his son. He commented again (has done before) that his sons car handled so much better than his own. His sons car is on our coilovers, the other car on V3 KWs!

Yep, thats why we are running them under the BC brand, theyre already well established in other countries so you guys can do your own research into how well they work based on independent reviews both on here (sold under the Apex brand to date) and on various other forums

MRSIMPSON, i've got a set of these coilovers on my car and i'm well chuffed with them. A mate who has 1700 quids worth of AST suspension has been in mine and says it feels as good as his car

Would you have a set for MY03 STI...?

I'm getting a knocking/clunking sound from the rear and will be contacting SLOWBOY later today for a service and looksy...

I'm anticipating some sort of suspension change so may as well go the whole hog and get me some coilovers.

What sort of price am I looking at for a full setup (Parts/Delivery etc...)?

Plenty of 2000 onwards in stock :nod: We also have numerous GC8 1992-2000 inverted ready to go. We run the inverted on our Impreza.

Normal £649 less 25% = £486.75
Inverted £849 less 25% = £636.75

Carriage to UK £17.63.

Is it worth spending the extra for the Inverted or should I stick with normal...?

I anticipate probably 1 or 2 trackdays a year. Car will spend most of its life on the road if anywhere....

(sorry, don't know the first thing about suspension )

Just one set of normal GC8 left then we just have inverted. Im amazed at how well theyve sold, sales have exceeded demand. I suppose thats what you get with the proper products at the right price.

I havent run inverted back to back with normal so honestly cant tell you what they compare like. I keep meaning to fit normal to our Impreza so I can give a good and full answer but I havent had time so I can only tell you the truth, I just dont know.

Do you have any that fit a 2007 WRX wagon (it has different rear shocks to the saloon AFAIK).

Hey Bren,

When you get back could you sort me with a package price for all the hardrace adjustable arm sets?

And also a weird question but can you get in from BC a set of coil overs to fit a Hyundai Coupe M-01 94-99 COUPE?

Could get a few Hyundai owners interested on the forums if needed to buy in bulk.

Cheers
Jimmy

Excuse my ignorance but what is the difference (advantages/disadvantages) between the inverted and non-inverted setup?

We havent tried both back to back on a Subaru to give first hand feedback.

However.

Inverted have
1) Lower unsprung weight
2) Oil further from brakes so less heat is transferred in endurance applications
3) Stiffer design (not talking spring rate)
