I had BR series coilovers fitted to my blobeye WRX after an original front shock failed. I'm really happy with how they transformed the handling. They have however knocked from day 1 on both rears. It can be so bad over certain bumps it makes me cringe. I had a trusted mechanic look at them and he couldn't find a fault. He did tighten the springs down slightly but that made no difference I kept my original rear shocks, if i get the rubber top mounts off these fitted am i guaranteed to stop the knocking?

 

Common problem....have a look here matey:

You can use the OEM top mounts from a MY03-04 with the BC's but you need to get new springs from BC which have a wider diameter at the top.

For a MY01-02 you need new springs and new MY03-04 OEM style top mounts from BC. This is because the OEM top mounts on a MY01-02 are a different design.

I've just fitted the new springs & OEM style top mounts to my MY02 STI and it's completely fixed the knocking / clonking over bumps & potholes.

Is it actually the suspension? or is it the bushes? I know mine knocked before going to the BCs and still does it.

 

If you give us a call on 01274 683633 we can go through a few things to establish if there is a problem with the coilovers or not.

 

Any chance you can sort those of us out that have been sold these BC`s that arent designed to work correctly with bugeyes without knocking ?

 

Why don't you just give Ann or Bren a call and sort it out once and for all.

 

Have you tried giving us a call to discuss your issues ?

I do believe that Kev and Bren have answered the questions on the other thread as thouroughly as possible.

If you still haven't got the answers that you require, please call or send me your contact number so that we can help you with whatever issue you have.
