Is our suspension setup correctly by aftermarket strut MFR's? Is the bias correct?

[IPD]

so no response from D2? hmm.....

I love BC coilovers.. work great on the sc and Supra

Holy s***! The BC coilovers dyno plots are the exact same ones in this thread for Megans. Nihil paid for them... WOW! It's amazing how much better the same shock will ride with a different name on it.

That's what I was seeing but didn't speak up since I don't know anything about suspension setup. (Well I do have my fully adj Fox fork on my mtn bike dialed in pretty well) So BC would have the same rebound characteristics as the other cheaper coilovers, correct?

[Nihil]

I haven't paid for anything, the sheets are different, Megan is on back order, BC also does custom valving and matches their shocks and includes dyno sheets with their sets. Those are for off the shelf.

No need to act arrogant and rude....others have said good things about BC along with all the other "tuner" setups. My goal here is to use your information and apply it to the average coilover setup and see what the outcome is...I have a feeling most bad reviews/opinions on the tuner stuff is based on improper installation/setup, and I don't feel like there's a downside to my decision.

My bad, I didn't mean to come across as arrogant. I'm more shocked than anything. I thought you said BC was going to charge you $15 for their coilover shock plots a few pages back and your post was the results. Where did you get that most recent shock plot from?

They are the same exact shock. BC coilovers are made at the same plant as the Megans. They're shock plots for off-the-shelf coil overs are identical.

Ksport were the ones that cost, according to them, they would actually dyno it and send results.

Supposedly, Megan is BC's lesser line.

These most recent plots are from BC via email

Well, best of luck with it Nihil, I hope you end up with good results for it. Looking forward to hearing your review.

I will probably hold of on it until I'm done with school (unless I land a job) and end up repurposing an Evo set up.

So, just a brief update from me. Finally got my car back together about 3 weeks ago, I've got about 450 miles on my turbo rebuild and transmission break-in so I've been easy on her.

I ended up with the BC Racing BR Type coilover setup with 11kg springs both front and rear, currently I'm running stock ride height, and after about 100 miles of driving I backed off the adjustments completely soft for the roads around here...and for my fiancée...ha. It rides a smidge more firm than stock in sport mode, in my opinion. I could surprisingly notice a big difference in the adjustment being backed off.

So, today I got on it a little bit through this one on ramp that's a nice tight turn that I previously got a lot of push/understeer in with the stock old blown out ECS setup and there was absolutely no push and the rear end felt like it was gonna kick out if I pushed it any more...being this is on public roads I wasn't going to push my luck. The turn was a 40-45mph turn when you could start breaking loose on the front end causing understeer...Not anymore, felt like I could've gassed it more and broken the rear end loose.

I hope to get everything else up to par in the next year or so and maybe do a track day where I can get a little wreckless and see what she can do!
