Use them for several trackdays and everything is ok. Very happy with it.
With big rear arb, all silent blocks new, a good geometry setup, RSR595 tyres and a lot of weight loss, my coop is now a very good track car.

Good to hear Kevin I just wanted to make sure there hasn't been anymore issues before bringing mine out of storage onto refresh then onto the track season

And can you tell me the difference?

Old design vs new design (after it was reported that springs could dislocate when the rear end is jacked up). Is this new what you received in the box or are you comparing the two designs?

I can tell you someone doesnt know how to use a tape measure

Hello everyone!

As I want to refresh all my suspension and get a new feel in driving my Coupe, I was wondering if the latest BC Racing Coilover set would make it worth the £100 extra over the KYB alternative consisting of springs front and back and only rear dampers, plus standard Monroe front dampers and all the bits needed to fit them.

The car will be used on roads kind'of all the time, because we do not have racetracks where I live.

Oh and the car is a 16vt and I also plan in the near future, after getting this set or the other parts, to also get a front strut brace bar. Will this be ok? I know the pic is wrong, but it says that it will fit my Coupe.

Yes, I would get the coilovers rather than the KYB kit. The KYB rears are very hard, whereas with the BC's you can adjust how stiff it is.

The kit will fit the 16vt as well so don't worry about it.

What is the difference between the 6/6kg set and the 8/6kg set? And why does it say kg when I suppose it's not the weight of the kit?

If I get a set, would I have to drill new holes somewhere? Is it a straight fit? Or are there tips for fitting properly and getting the full range of adjustments the kit provides?

They are spring rates so should be kg/mm so the 8/6 will be 8kg/mm front and 6kg/mm rear. If its a road car then id go with the softer spring rate 6kg/mm front and rear.

As for drilling holes, i believe the kit is a direct replacement.

Is says "6/6Kg/mm Fiat Coupe 93-00" and "8/6kg/mm Fiat Coupe 93-00" on BC Racings webpage.

Ah, yes, now I see the 'mm' after kg, but I didn't get that far the first time around and even if I did, I still wouldn't knew what it would mean and what was the difference.

Thanks for the clarifications!

Are these coilovers TUV certified for the Coupe?

I should think so

Theres nothing on the BC website that mentions TUV.

FK do a konigsport version of their coilover which carries a TUV certificate. They are nice dampers, stainless outer body with koni inserts.

Re: TUV from James Crabtree "The BC kits are not TUV approved however the factory is so once you have purchased the kit we can supply a letter stating that the kit is fit for purpose and that it is designed specifically for that application, we can also supply a technical drawing of the kit, this is usually enough for homologation purposes."

I was just about to pull the trigger on a set of coilovers from BC Racing when I decided to see if there are some news on the forum about them.
Now I see the FK brand and I would like know your opinnion on what set would be better and if there is a set better from another brand that I did not heard of.
My budget is £750 and I want the ones that perform best in road conditions and hold out the longest. Hope I'm not asking for the impossible.
If the BC are the best, I will get them, but I don't want to have any regrets.
Right now on the car there are the original springs and dampers from '94,so any would be an improvement, but I only want to change them once.

Do not use FK, they are cheap for a reason.

Fk are ok for there price but there not in the same market as the BC's which are miles above.

At your budget of £750 there is an FK strut available which is good quality

http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=240612

Koni adjustable dampers inside a stainless steel strut housing.

FK's main problem was they were under damped which caused a bouncy ride, FK's solution to remove the bouncing was to fit a stiffer spring, completely the wrong thing to do. The coilovers above would be a good option for the coupe, probably still not as good as the BC's as the BC's lower the car without adjusting the pre-load on the spring.

Thank you all for the feedback, it was what I expected and I went ahead and got a pair of BC Racing Coilovers.
I had my eyes on them since a while back, I just wanted to be sure it's the right choice.
I am now waiting their delivery, hopefully this week

The german dealer offer the kits with TÜV

Edit: Sorry, was the K-Sport.. Pretty sure they could deliver it with the BC's as well though

I’ve now got a set of these in the post. Should be fitted next Wednesday

I will be VERY interested to hear your thoughts on these

Now my Coupe is a weekend toy, winter durability is not a concern, which means I can consider coilovers instead of the much more durable Osrav MacPhersons

Well I'll be replacing a billy/eibach set up that's covered over 70,000 miles so I'm expecting a marked improvement.

The main reason I'm changing to these though is because the new wheel/tyre set-up rubs the right rear arch and I think a tired damper is causing it. I figure that, even if it isn't the cause, I can still increase the ride height to fix it while I locate the real culprit... and save some money to change that too!

Nigel, let me know if you will decide to sell your Osrav dampers.

when researching what type of suspension to get for my car, I found a site that had for sale the BC Racing Coilovers. Asked them if they were the latest design and got a positive answer.

After I bought a set from the BC Racing website, just to be sure I get the real deal, that particular site sends me this link, knowing I was interested in a pair of coilovers from BC Racing: DeltaParts

Should I worry?

Well that's a bit of a shocker, il be testing mine tonight then and they can stand by for a complaint

Great... I've got some going on tomorrow

drive home should be fun!

Hmmm... having re-read some of the posts from the earlier days of this thread, I'd urge others to do the same.

I'm going to ask BC directly about a suspicion I have, but I'll be able to do a similar test tomrrow night when mine go on. Will post up any updates.

Yes saw this on Facebook the other night.
Let's hope that everyone has good sets.
A lot of people have been installing these from here recently.
Good luck folks.
