Thinking of putting coilovers on my '56 Hawkeye STi PPP.
Which ones should I go for? I was thinking of either BC's, Meisterr Zeta-R or Megan Racing Super Street. They are in my price range. Which would you guys recommend? One of these or something else?

Fitted loads of BC's and they are a good coilover! seem to work good on the scoobs too

Which BC series do you think are the best for fast road use? BR or RM?

Which ones cost more?

For fast road use the BR's are capable no problems, but the RM are the better of the two and designed exactly for fast road and and track use, there is a noticeable difference between the two there just better than the BR's meaning more bucks

If it were me then I would change the ARB's (with adjustable rear at least) if you haven't already to reduce body roll, fit an 'anti-lift kit' at the front, run some tyres with stiff sidewalls and keep the standard suspension. This will give a decent ride on the road and corner well.
Or bite the bullet and get Ohlins DFV's or similar.
Budget coilovers are a waste of money.

All those mentioned coilovers(BC's, Meisterr Zeta-R or Megan Racing Super Street) are made in same company...

Many people are happy with BC or Racing Logic or other budget coilovers,read reviews on them and if you have friend which have them fitted,try them before you buy

Ohlins DFV would be good but price is around £2500-£3500,for this price would rather buy KW V3 or Nitron coilovers and you will save money on other bits(arb,ALK and roll centre kit)

I'd avoid coilovers on a car that spends 99% of it's life on the road, and while the BC are fine when new lots of people have had problems with them after a year or so, do a search on here there was a thread with some very unhappy customers a while back, not sure what the outcome was but the supplier was helpful so at least that is something.

my mate has a set of eibac coilovers which are one of the softest and it's horrible most of the time and only a bit better if the roads are flat as a pancake otherwise it tends to skip about a bit over bumps on the local back roads.
