RC F aftermarket springs options
#31
Equalme, sounds like a bad experience with a reputable coilovers. Sorry to hear about that. But I must say that we do have something in common afterall.... past 370z owner myself :-)
Coilovers are not just track performance parts. They are used on every day driving vehicles that see 0 track time. The more track geared coilovers are going to be $1500+, but you are paying for a product that performs a specific function, and that function is not cheap.
Sure the RS-R coilovers are $1700 however the new BC Racing, which we can't keep on the shelf, are only $995. Highly reputable company, with a product that won't destroy your wallet. $300 for just springs (plus an install cost that you can't do yourself in most cases), vs $1000 for a full suspension system that you can pop in yourself with basic hand tools and a few beers, doesn't seem that bad anymore.
Not debating your opinion as you are 100% entitled to it. I just want to make sure the OP has all the information to make his decision.

BC coilovers are pretty low on the totem pole compared to KW, Ohlins, Racecomp Eng. You WILL be getting what you pay for. The newish KW for the RCF with the Umbrella system is pretty cool..thinking of trying a set out this summer and see how I like the "push to rise system". My company sells all of these brands and the BC's are ok...but that's about as far as I'd go. I wouldn't run them on any of my cars.

Well in my experience, spring installs around here take about 2 hours.

So I was thinking about lowering the car (kill the evil wheel gap) but I am trying to stay with reliability and not mess with the Lexus engineered magnetic dampening system that is active in S+.
So I was thinking about lowering springs. I have only seen 2 options so far: Swift and RSR. Anyone know of other options?
Also, I would like opinions on both and how the suspension will hold up in the long run with them isntalled. If installing will prematurely reduce the longevity of my OEM shocks, I will end up passing on the springs.
