Remember the best person to speak to about how the kit rides is Martin at Delta Parts www.deltaparts.co.ukAlso you can order your kit through him too, just give him a shout.

The kit will be a full kit, with front camber topmount, for all 4 corners of the car. 30 point damping adjustment Adjustable ride-hight (independent of ride-height settings) Adjustable ride-height.
I have no experience of the D2 kit for the Coupe, but the D2 coilovers tend to be over-sprung and under-damped for UK roads so I would imagine a much better quality of ride from the BC kit.
Compared to Bilstein I have no idea, sorry, hopefully once more people on here get the kit you can get some independent feedback. Generally we receive very good feedback from customers who have used other brands of coilovers (KW, AST, Gaz, D2, Tein etc) and then ours. We also get good feed back from people who have avoided coilovers before as being "too harsh" and have stuck to shocks/springs thinking all coilovers are designed for the track, not for the road.
Delta Parts, as mentioned previously have the most experience of this kit (although I have driven the car) as they helped with the development and did all the testing. This is the first kit they have helped us with, we have also worked with Delta parts on 2 previous kits for the Lancia's both of which have gone down a storm with customers and I expect the same sort of feedback from Fiat customers.
Thanks

Still on for December release date?? Any order placed before 29th November will be delivered, most likely on 6th December. http://www.bc-racing.co.uk/c-bczo01/fiat-coupe-coilovers-93-00-fa175/I can also mention that all BC prices will go up in 2012 so well worth buying them this year

These do look interesting Alexis, can I ask what the reasoning was to make you splash the cash?
Do you think these are really suited to mostly ALL road use? (For me anyway)

Because I don't like my FK coilovers and I need new top mounts, so best of both worlds here, but it's been setup for a coupe, rather than being a generic based kit

Very good question Patch. Interested to know the answer to that.
If the feedback is good I would be tempted to go for this, but by the time we get any feedback the price will probably have gone up.
I would be ready to buy in Jan, any idea how much it will go up by?
Bit early to put it up in my opinion when they have only just been released and nobody has a comparison with them yet either.

For any of the specialists watching this thread - what would be an approx. cost for fitting and set up on-top of the purchase price? Would depend on your garage. About 1-2 hours to fit by a professional, with rideheight setup. Alignment £50-£500, usually around £130 with 4-wheel alignment, camber, toe & thrust angle setup but no corner weighting or rideheight setup. Very good question Patch. Interested to know the answer to that.

I'm very interested in this kit, my only concern is the pillow ball top mount and how long it will last before it starts knocking. I think the use of the word "Pillow" is a bit misleading, a pillow you usually associate with softness, not a solid block of metal with no give at all! I'm just concerned it may be too harsh for a road car, especially for guys running 18" wheels with low profile tyres. I'm also waiting for Begbies feedback

Why thankyou Similar to the FK then. I notice there's a threaded section to the rear damper, I guess it shares the damper body from a kit which uses a coil over the damper on the rear.
