Im concerned about setting them up correctly. Am I right in thinking they are independant damp and rebound. How difficult is it to get a good set up. Or if I got these could you give me some settings to start off with.

Cheers

Unless you are doing a lot of circuit work i.e time attack of similar there is no logical reason to pay the extra premium for the external reservoir version - just my opinion. That said i have the inverted BC's on my race RA and cant fault them

It does take a small time to set them up how you want but it is worth it - could give you some starter settings though if you wanted that worked for me on the road.

Thanks for your help with this guy's. I have no experience with the ER's so your input is appreciated. The price on these is £1249

Dont mean to hi-jack.... But I was thinking about BC coilovers too, for my project car that will be doing track days, sprints, hill climbs, time attack.... no constant racing for long periods so they wont be worked too hard

What version would people suggest? I want full wheel allignment adjustment front and rear and enough adjustability for the above applications.

Cheers,
Gaz
