Bren how do these compare to the BC units in terms of build quality and availability of parts and overhaul. May be interested in a new age set.

What he said!! Would be interested in the difference.
Got BC's on the classic and was going to get a set for the newage but then you stopped doing them. Can I ask why that is?

Theyre branded as Apex, the same Apex kits that we have been selling for years now with thousands of sales to date. All spare parts are available either from stock or within 8 working days. Same warranty as the BC Racing units. They feature: Adjustable spring platform Ride height adjustable Camber adjustable front pillowball top mounts 30 way damping adjustment Bearing mounted upper front spring platform etc etc This is our Evo version, I dont have a pic of the Impreza version to hand: https://www.scoobynet.com/attachment...1&d=1268913605 They retail at £679 for the normal kit with either rubber rear top mount or no rear top mount (you reuse the original) but with special rear springs. The inverted kit retails at £899 and the external reservoir version £1249. The inverted kits come with the camber adjustable rear top mount upgrade by default and the external reservoir 2 way adjustable series come with camber rear top mounts AND the camber/castor rear top mounts with no extra charge. You can spec the following upgrades: Upgrade to camber AND castor front top mounts +£54.50 Upgrade to pillowball rear top mounts +£40.00 Upgrade to pillowball camber rear top mounts +£56.50 Rear damper adjuster extenders £24.50 a pair Camber adjuster bolts £27.50 a pair I can do 25% discount on the kit including any upgrades you choose for 10+ orders so the kit would come out at £509.25. Carriage charges per kit UK and NI £10 Channel Islands Republic of Ireland Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg France Germany Denmark £20 Italy Spain Portugal Greece £30 Rest of Europe £45 Picking the right kit to meet your needs Below are suggested spring rates: Standard WRX ride quality: GC8 = 4/3, New Age 5/4. 4/3 feature the softest damping of all with a longer stroke to accomodate the extra travel the softer set up allows. Fast road with some track work (default road going spec, eets most peoples needs): GC8 5/4, New Age 6/5 Harder core fast road with track work using stickier track rubber: GC8 6/5, New Age 6/5 More track focused cars or really hardcore road car driven only on smooth roads: GC8 8/6, New Age 8/6 |
Ok, so if I need them sooner than when we can get 10 people together, do I have to pay the full price, or the 510+90 shipping? I think I know the answer already, but don't ask don't get, eh? ;)
|
The discount is based on 10+ takers. The kits are superb value at £510 so I seriously doubt we wont get the numbers but if we dont get 10 people based on previous group buy numbers then I cant do the discount Im afraid.
|
fair enough :)
Upgrade to camber AND castor front top mounts +£54.50 Upgrade to pillowball rear top mounts +£40.00 Upgrade to pillowball camber rear top mounts +£56.50 Camber adjuster bolts £27.50 a pair Would the above options complicate things for a novice such as myself in setting the things up, or are they "essential" choices? |
Whats the price of the external reservoir units

This might be a stupid question, but suspension isn't my strong point, so: What performance benefit do the above options offer? I can kind of understand the camber and castor front top mounts, but what is that pillowball thing? Would the above options complicate things for a novice such as myself in setting the things up, or are they "essential" choices? Whether youd actually notice the difference in a road or even track car is debatable.

At a guess dunk, it would be £1249 - 25% (assuming there are 10 or more orders) so £936.75 plus postage (£10) :thumb:
Ask Duncan Graham what he thinks of his 2 way adjustable external reservoir coilovers for independent opinion :) |
I run the BC inverted dampers on my race RA and find them excellent so big thumbs up from me :thumb:

Bren, don't take this the wrong way but are the Apex oilovers just re-branded BC items but with a way round the patent / copy right or something along those lines?
Are they made by the same people in the same factory or something? Not that this would be a bad thing, it would actually be a very good thing. Just that they looks pretty much identical to be honest other than the colour and possibly the top mounts although its hard to tell from the Evo kit pictured. Also is Duncan running the Apex kit you are selling or the BC's? If they are not the same its not a true comparison to say Duncan runs the external resevoir items (BC's) when trying to sell the Apex items. Might need to sell my BC's for these external resevoir items :) |

If BC Racing and the Apex coilovers were the same then I wouldnt be able to confirm due to contractual agreements.

Bren,
Count me in too, great price! Rob |
Count me in too. Need them by May 30th though, so might have to look at the extra £90 :[
|
Just a thought, you say it's an extra £90 to air-freight them, would it still be £90 each if there was a few of us wanting to do it?
|
come on bren we wont get to ten without a new thread :D
|
im up for a set ................. as some have said a new thread might help this along a bit Bren
