![]() Why is everyone so opposed to options? I'm all about the KaplanSwag™ but nothing wrong with choices.

![]() Naturally everyone is against a worse option that costs more. Also many warmblooded americans prefer to support other warmblooded americans with the same intrests rather than support an asian company who is just in the money making business that happens to be making car parts.

![]() Also, not that I'm an economics expert, but I'd imagine that the more money we give to Ben for his well researched and developed products, the more money Ben will have to reinvest into researching and developing new products! So, the larger his market share, the more he can put out there!

![]() Bens kit is gunna be a minimum of $1140 to match the hardware you get with the bcs. As they have camber plates too.
Also bens kits don't come with shocks either do they? So in the grand scheme of things these are a great deal cheaper than bens if you were to buy coilover kit, shocks and camber plates. Or am I missing something? |

NOT a bolt in solution. Ben's is a bolt in solution. Plus. I have no Idea where BC is getting their shocks and springs from. Who knows what kind of quality is put into the shocks/struts. OP, Does BC give you a copy of the Dyno from what your order? Would be nice to see it. |

![]() They aren't even the right shape let alone the difference in bearing & material quality. I'll give you a hint into the quality of those parts... I have sold a number of camber plates to FWD owners who have bought BC / D sport coilovers because the ones that come with them aren't so great.

![]() I had a set of D2s on my other car that were 7 years old and the collars were free.
We don't really have to worry about the ARB brackets breaking as they're on the lower arm. |

Am i right? I already support ben, i have, and will continue to purchase more parts from ben. But im all about getting the most bang for my buck. When i think "Coilover" I dont think *Bilstein's inside. They make a nice looking product, but when i seen the front kit i wanted at 1,700 bucks to get the front as adjustable as i had hoped, i started digging deeper for a cheaper solution. My solution, was to be possibly the first TurboBricks user to try the 7 and 9 series coilover kit by BC, Now that ive got them on the car, and ive got it close to adjusted as i like it, ill take more pics, and post the good, and the bad feedback i have about it. I am not biased, there are some things about this kit i dont like. I hope to see less crap talk of unknown company's, untill this BC kit blows a seal or breaks in half, i will continue to believe that this has been good money spent for what i intend to do with it, which is build a Drift car to one day compete in Formula D Pro M. |

I set my car up so it was perfect the first time. The preload on the spring is what I wanted, the ride height is what I wanted, and the shocks are in the middle of the range. There should be no reason to adjust anything after that. The dyno for the custom struts/shocks valving... unless you didn't specify any custom numbers when ordered. If you did and they did send a copy of dyno plots, that would be nice to see what the valving is doing. Or if you know who supplies them with shocks/struts. They could probably have them made by someone else. That is my biggest problem with aftermarket stuff. I know that if I go bilsteins, or konis, I get atleast 100,00miles on them. I usually follow this: http://farnorthracing.com/autocross_secrets18.html I have some teins on my evo 9 and really do not like them. Already feel like they are wearing out and they have like 30,000miles on them. |
