Default BC Racing Coilovers

Hi CL!

I know this is a known issue that is still on going with these coil overs or any other coil overs that I don't know about. The vibration issues? Is anyone still experiencing this or did it go away or what kind of fix do I need to do to be aware of to solve this issue. I don't mind the vibration, but I don't want it to be a vibration issue when its unbearable. Only asking because I'm about to drop a grand on these coil overs. Any input be helpful, or if anyone knows a solution to this issue would be great!

Thanks in advance! - Kevin

The vibration issue only applies to AWD models.

Do you own a AWD model?

im pretty sure i beat this topic to death in this forum. browse around, you'll see my answers.

just keep in mind that its all subjective to the person driving. one person may find it unbearable whereas it may not even bother another

Yes its AWD, that is very true. But I purchased them the other day, so im hoping for the best. Also I shouldnt worry if I use to drive a boosted integra with solid motor mounts, and stiff *** suspension.. Probably cant be worst than that lol. Thanks though guys!

Vibrations and bounciness are two different things. Vibrations do get annoying, so if you do a MILD drop, it shouldn't bother you too much.

ha yea you should be fine then, it will still be a smoother ride. the ride itself is great, its just the first 0mph to 20mph that can get a little annoying but it grew on me and didnt really bother me. i made the spacers and that solved pretty much all my problems. i think the only issue i had after that was just my crappy tires i had on my 20s
