BC Racing BR Type Coilovers

[cakM3]

i do not like the 1-year warranty, however - to me, it says something about the quality of the components. when you look at bilstein, they lifetime-warranty their dampers (to the original purchaser). THAT says something about confidence in their product.

hmmm.

Yes, this is the only drawback to getting the BC Racing coilovers but their pricing is killer. I have had these on my M3 going on 4 years now and have been pleased with their performance overall.

I agree that with Bilstein's you have their lifetime warranty and that is one thing to consider when purchasing coilovers. I agree with your statement Peter

thanks charlie. positive first-hand experience is always a good thing! i agree on the pricing.

the ST coilovers are around the same price and i really liked their product when i used it on my last audi, albeit the rear spring rates were much too soft - that is one nice thing about the BC 'BR' kit for the M3 - the 8k/12k (446F/670R) rates seem very well-suited to the ZHP's factory handling balance (just maybe a tad stiffer).

i'm on the fence between this product and the bilstein 'B12' kit (bilstein sport dampers - which are shorter than stock - and eibach springs). the adjustability of the BC's appeals to my fiddly nature, but the 'set and forget' and lifetime warranty of the bilstein setup likely aligns with my wife's desires - less time spent fiddling with the car. haha.

wow, thanks gary. i wonder how well they stand behind that, in actual practice? not wanting to doubt, but sometimes when something is too good to be true...

gary, i just noticed that you selected the non-M3 kit... if you're going to order from them, you should select this kit:

i also spotted this on their website:

"Just note that due to credit card requirements refunds after 90 days must be in the form of FCP store credits"
