I had descent history with BC coilovers, you can check nycmaximas.org forum, bunch of us bought them and they were good for the price. I can say honestly I would rather buy them than ksports or nexx coilovers for sure.

We've had alot of experience with the BC Racing coilover ranging from subaru wrx/sti, evo 8/9/X, G35/37, 240sx, 350z and VW MK4. We have nothing but good thing to say about it and that's why we carry it.

Ride comfort can be adjusted with different spring rate which is an option with BC Racing coilovers.

Give us a PM if you want a quote on a set for your lexus.

The good thing with the BCR coilovers is that we can set you up with different spring rates to suit your driving style and preference.

The basic OTS spring rates work well for DD and agressive street driving. You can also turn up or down the damping to better fine tune the suspension to your liking.

If you want a mild upgrade to stiffness we can do a softer rate similar to the HKS and Tein "Comfort" setups. And we don't charge extra for rate changes.

You guys can feel free to PM us with questions or for pricing

I'm not familiar with spring rates, but I asked for the soft settings in the front and mid stiff in the rear. I got it from this company (group buy) http://www.boostanddestroy.com/

Spencedigg, what are the extenders for?


I'm looking to do BC's in the near as well but need some more advice in terms of VIP cup kit upgrading.

You stated the UAS on BC coilovers in the rear are a no go, but what about the Platinum VIP cup kit? Will the cups on BC have the same issues in the rear as the bags on BC? Maybe I need to make a new thread?

the extenders are for the rear. it makes it easier to get access to turn stiff or soft settings. it pokes out of the trunk lining.

here's an example



LOLthxKbye think used regular struts and springs for the rears. He can correct me if I'm wrong.
