Sorry if it's OT, but I can't seem to find any comments on D2 coilovers... my suspension upgrade options (here in Croatia) are: springs+dampers Bilstein+Eibach £ 1.000 OsravKGA+Osrav springs £930 coilovers KW variant1 (height adjustable) £720 KW variant2 (height+rebound adjustable) £980 D2 (height,damping&rebound adjustable) £790
I'm after modest ride height drop (max 2cm) and a bit better controlled handling. I have no experience with either of kits, and can't decide between D2 (good spec&cheap) and Osravs (well proven, apart the springs)...

I've noticed on MLR that a lot of those guys are less than satisfied with the quality of the BC kit.

Indeed. At less than a year old the BC's on my mates Evo popped both the pillowballs out of the top mounts on the Le Mans trip this year. Das ist nicht gut!

We (me, Kev @ Apex Performance / BC Racing UK) Never got the OEM parts so the coilover kit was never made. However we sourced the parts recently and are going ahead with the development. We expect to have the first test kit (we have a tester sorted) in the next 3-6 weeks and have it for sale in a couple of months. It will be just the BR kit to start with, retailing at £699 http://www.bc-racing.co.uk/coilovers-series-br/But we can look at the RM's and ER's after that if there is interest. ER's - Would be a good choice Marco in his Time Attack car if he is still doing it Hope you don't mind me bumping this old thread

Hi Kev I can only apologise in never getting this to you in the first place, an unforeseen engine rebuild meant I didn't have the funds to get the kit to you / developed / use my car as a test mule. Glad you managed to source something in the end

RM kit I would guess would be the same price as the other RM kits which is around £850, and it would be the kit I would want too.

RM's would be inverted front only so would be £799 I would imagine.

Also, how durable are the top mount bearings, they can get quite noisy on a road car in no time at all? Topmount bearings are very durable, but also available as a spare for £25.

The dampers are adjustable, without seeing where the upper and lower mounting points are I cannot say where the damper adjuster will be. We are well on with the development so I can ask the factory. We do need to get the front camber plate in the correct alignment and I cannot find a good engine bay picture showing the relationship between topmount orientation and wheel direction. Can somebody take a picture of the topmount in the engine bay that we can get this orientation from eg rather than this one that I found on one of your picture threads....
