On this basis would you recommend a 5/4 set up?

I'd also want the extended rear adjusters.

To order these should I simply phone up?

Cheers
Yes I would recommend the 5/4kg.mm kit. The 6/5kg.mm give a similar ride to OE STi on the softer damper settings but the 5/4kg.mm will be better suited to particularly rough roads.

Just give us a ring to order, 01274 683633.

Might be useful for others to note.....
You cannot adjust the rear camber with these apex coilovers and my MY07 sti is sitting at neg 5 camber at rear (-2.5 a side) Prodrive road settings I'm told should be neg 3 so you need the camber bolts. Also to adjust the rear dampers on an sti saloon you need to take out the rear seats (only 5 bolts but a pain) so the extenders might be best for you too.
No probs

We were happy at those prices but our BC Racing dealers were losing sales to ourselves which isnt fair to them. We cant be competing so aggressively without our main customer base. 90% of our BC Racing sales are trade.

Good luck with D2s. We are the worlds biggest KSport brake distributer. When we started with KSport they only offered coilovers so thats we we used to sell. We gave back the rights to sell the KSport coilovers because they were so inferior to the BC Racing product.

Bear in mind that we were already well established with KSport and as a big KSport international dealer and had spent a lot of time on money on KSport marketing and yet still didnt think twice over giving back KSport rights in favour of BC.

The KSport factory produce the D2 coilovers.

Speaks volumes.

We continue with the KSport brakes because we worked hand in hand with the factory to develop the kits to a very high level. The brakes are absolutely stunning and would easily hold their own competing on a level price field with AP and the like. At the prices they sell for they are one of the few absolutely blinding deals available in the aftermarket performance industry.

Sadly the same cant be said for the coilovers

If you speak to www.scoobyworld.co.uk 01509 266400 then Im sure they will make you happy on the price of Apex coilovers for your Impreza

Note that there will be a new price list released on Feb 1st. We have had two price increases, one with the vat and one with a cost increase applied by the factory. Nows the time to get a real bargain on both BC Racing and Apex units

We are working on Feb 1st prices now. Im negotiating with the factory to keep the increase to an absolute minimum hence the 2011 prices not being ready for Jan 1st as they should have been.

Its the RM Series for cars just using MacPherosn fronts (i.e. not Imprezas) that are going to see a significant increase. The other kits wont be effected too much.

The brakes are also being revised for Feb 1st. The price for the kit is the same but we will no longer include pads. The KSport defalts for the 330mm and 356mm are £79 so thats the effective price increase.

What pads would you be after, Ill sort a price for you

Only because you got your name down last year.

I wont sell them, dont want anything to do with them, wont have Apexs name associated with them.

Apex are £679 but if you speak to www.scoobyworld.co.uk 01509 266400 then they will sort you a deal.

If you have a problem with the KSport kit or pads then just pick up the phone to resolve, 01274 683633

It really is "Basic", and the translation is funny. but overall it was little help.

Sorry Bren, but maybe you could pass it on as feedback and get them to print a more detailed UK version

You (or the bc coilovers factory) should develop some EDFC Tein style controler for this coilovers. That would be great.
