IMO coilovers made in Japan tends to be of higher quality than Taiwan. Tein coilovers are rebuildable. As far which is the best is subjective.

Just bringing this question back alive.
Can't decide between RSR or BC Racing.
RSR is about $2,600 CAD and BC Racing is $1,500 CAD. Are RSR coilovers rebuildable? I don't see where you could get replacements parts for RSR where as BC Racing has a parts store on their website.

AGREED!

I would look into Tanabe REVEL Coil-overs

RSR is a great choice.. I can find out if its rebuildable, wouldn't see why not..

We ship to Canada as well.

This is the decision I'm still stuck on. I can't decide on BC with Swift springs, or RSR. Despite price, most members on other forums, including M3 forums, seem to have very good reviews of the BC-R BR coilovers. RS-R doesn't seem to have hardly any love outside of the current gen 3 ISX crowd. I'm stuck with what seems to be BC offering a superior spring with the Swift spring upgrade.

Josh, I'm still deciding, sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I'm very particular and can't stand the thought of my car having bounce and noises. I'd rather spend the extra on the RS-R if I knew they were actually superior.

RS-R is very popular with Nissan's like 240sx's and such. I would personally go RS-R, but they are expensive.

I don't consider BC Racing to be a top quality brand with true racing R&D (maybe I'm wrong) .. but they are 'good for the price'. They are popular in forums for reasons including: The Price.
Would you consider the BCRs to be the best of the D2, Greddy, Buddy Club, Gecko, Revel, Tein, Tanabe, etc. in that ~$1000 "second tier" for 3is?

I primarily stick to Japan made products for Japan made cars.

Those would include: Buddy Club, GReddy, HKS, RSR, REVEL (Distributed by Tanabe), TEIN, TOMS Racing
