BC Racing ER series coilover
I was wondering if anyone has heard anything or knows about these coilovers. i am considering buying a set, and just looking for some feeback. I have read and heard good things, these are new so info is somewhat limited. Im also thinking about the KW Variant 3's. thanks

Bad link??? I'd go with the RCE version of the KWs if that is the performance level you are looking for.

Remember that all those good reviews come from younger guys who don't really race, and have no previous coilover experience to compare them to. That said, what I've heard about these over the last few years is that the quality is pretty good and the price can't really be beat. Just don't expect world class service down the road if you need a rebuild or anything. And as for autocrossing or going to the track, unless you have a lot of race experience on fantastically good suspension, then you'll love them there too compared to anything stockish.

i know my buddy is on the bc inverted coilovers and they are awesome. his car is on rails and he has quite a bit of racing experience too, on all different types of surfaces. and for the price they are awesome. they are going to be the next set of coilovers i get.

if the subie coilover is anything like pictures, that hose for the external res will be really close to the drive axle.

haha I haven't driven enough with them to give a good review.
But I will say that the handling has increased tremendously, and I'm able to takes turns way faster now. Body roll significantly reduced. Now I just need Cory to do an alignment, and get it where I want it.
