anyone running bc coilovers on a classic with a spring rating of 5/4kg after opinions of stiffness are these stiff enough for fast road track work was after 5/6kg but finding them hard to get hold of.opinions plz if your running this spring rate many thanks

 

Hello there must be some members on here with them as bc racing did a groupbuy with near on 50 kits being sold.

I would also be interested peoples opinions

Have you contacted bc racing

 

i know just waiting on opinions.? i havent contacted bc if rather have peoples driving opinions and not tech really.so anyone.?

 

Well i,ve been advised by rcm to go with 6/5 for road/track use

 

brought a set today from apex and was advised to go for the 5/4 rate as the 6/5 can be to harsh for uk roads as a daily driver,i have teins at the moment and they are HARD,yes it does handle well on the smooth but theres no compronise,thats why i have gone with the bcs

 

i put a set of BC coils on my just last week have no idea what spring rating they are... but im sure i could find out for you. If some one can tell me how to find it out

Number stamped on the springs.

 

anymore opinions.? also has anyone seen the thread on the mlr about bcs knocking ? seems quite a common on the evos.

 

i have the 8/6kg springs on mine and if the damping is set pretty soft i wouldnt say that they were too harse on the road at all.i would go atleast 6/5 or it it isnt worth having coilovers on at all.

 

im running the 5/4 springs on the apexi inverted ones.

for day to day driving i would say thay are abit hard, not overly bad. dont do any track work etc, so not sure what they would be like

 

I have 5/4 springs on my BCs. The ride is little different on the softest damper settings to the standard shocks. The hardest setting is really way too hard for ordinary road use, I've no track experience so cant compare them for that use.

 

Agreed, unless you just want suspension to lower the car. If you want performance then what bigarf said.

Thanks

His avatar suggests he has a newage though. More lard needs bigger springs...

 

I have a classic only used for hills and sprints and had 6/5 on to start with but found them to soft, I now have 7/6 think I would have gone to 8/6. These are the RM series.

 

if you are around cambridge way, you can have a go in mine to see what they are like

 

Excellent service by olly and the team at rcm the rm series bc have changed the car.

All the little extras went a long way geat to see the gobstopper what a machine.

 

5/4's were fine on my classic, for both road and track.
