Out of interest, I've heard that the BC coilovers are better suited to UK roads than most other coilover set-ups. Can you comment? What's the ride like (quite harsh that low I suspect), but have you been in any cars with any other set up ie Tiens, KW variants etc that you an compare them against?

Thanks for the comments, the ride height is a little low the tyres rub against the arch liners. I will raise it slightly all around before the geo setup.

I haven't driven the car much to comment yet but will do as soon as.... Have not been in any cars with other suspension set ups

Thanks

Looks real nice mate!! I just put my BC's on this weekend, and it was that low too. Raised it though, as the mud flaps were scraping the floor!

Want my blob to look exactly like that when mine is done. Got a FMIC (along with other mods) to go on for the summer, so will nearly look as good. Although I don't have the wheels yet

I am thinking of removing the arch liners instead of raising the height

Still not 100%, but maybe the MD321T or a FP one.
