I think someone from Indonesia was running them, but I can't remember his name. He used to post here a lot.

Lek has them on his GE. He's from Thailand. Had a lot of favorable words for the BC coilovers, too.

And yes BC is NOT Buddy Club. BC is a Taiwanese company.

Over here in the Philippines, they're a favorite with trackday addicts because of the bang-for-the-buck factor, and they're reportedly just as good if not better than some other bigger brands.

thanks guys, ive heard good things about them from friends running them on other cars.

i know ive asked this question like a million times but i guess they will fit an EDM jazz.
i know the hole size is different where they bolt to the hub or whatever, but surely they work just the same? even if the bolt is slightly bigger/smaller.

i think ive seen people on here running JDM coils on USDM fit's etc.

Wonder if any other GD3 owners bought them since Jan 2010? I'm considering this & Buddy Club N+, they're both made in Taiwan anyways.

Kinda thinking about BC instead coz some of my friends in Australia had bad experience with N+'s bad fitment. I also wonder if I can order custom spring rates with the BC coilovers at no extra cost etc.....

You can get custom spring rates from BC at request. I want to upgrade my rear springs to high rated ones simply because I'm so low and to avoid rubbing, but for anyone else the standard springs they come with would be fine.
They have a good range of dampening adjustment, at the softest theyre pretty darn soft, not standard soft, but not far off either.
Fully hard, it's like a go kart. Me likes.

they are extremely great quality coilovers. I ran them on my s2000 and tracked on them at a few Redline Time Attack events. I'm also an authorized reseller if you're interested in a set.

HI s2kmugen

I'm looking for a set of BC racing for my GD1 are the fitments the same as the GD3s?
If so how much will they be delivered to UK? or would it cheaper to buy them in UK?

Also whats the best spring rating to get? or is standard just fine? NOT looking to track my car or anything just want some adjustable springs for lowering, comfort and better cornering/handling if and when i decide to mod my car in the future?

Thanks Val

I have them on my GD3 and I love them just wish they went lower. There are pics in my picture thread. I got 8k/8k on mine. Shoot Autrey at DWS Parts an email and see what his pricing is on them, I got a good deal on mine through him.

BC racing coils on my 09 GE. love them. first coilovers i've owned, and they ride like a dream. the adjustments are great too. daily driven, and autocrossed. these are down as far as they can go. might look into the "extreme drop" springs if i don't bag the car.
