BC Coilover Deal
- Thread starter rodmoe
- Start date
But BC are an Taiwanese aftermarket company. Thats all they do. Bilstein are a renowned German manufacturer who makes factory suspension components for high-end BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche. If I just wanted to lower my car and didn't really care much about the ride quality, then sure, I would go for the BC. But I would rather have a higher-quality components from the best, even if I give up adjustable damper and camber settings (which I won't use anyway after the first time it is installed).
Lots of people talk smack on BC funny thing is I once put them to the test of sorts. Lots of mustang guys talk crap like their bilsteins, konis, KW whatever are WORLDS above at 2-3x the price.
I took my lowly over lowered, green wheeled, mustang and my "he cant drive for real just drift stuff" self to an auto-x all filled with mustangs. 1 of which was a gt500 on 315/30 hoosier R-comps on all corners and pretty much everything you could imagine on it, a Fox body with a "not stock" motor or suspension (looked like he dumped a pretty penny into it but wouldn't talk) also on R-comps, and a fixed up fox (konis, some sway bars and IDK what else) with R-comps with a driver I hold in high regard (The guys usually wipes the floor with everyone in whatever he drives, even if its your own car and is a humble cool dude).
my crapstain has every suspension component replaced save for traction bracket (BC coils, whiteline sways F &R, panhard bard, traction bars, upper mount and link) on street tires (hankook evo k110).................I had 3rd best time for the day. 1st was gt500 and 2nd was not so stock fox. i was about 3 seconds behind them. Some R compounds and I would have been on their heels, keep in mind I hadn't autox'd in about 10 years and that was my 3rd run ever on the course. TOOT TOOT goes my horn.
Point is they arent as crappy as people let on. THE ONLY ISSUE is if you break one they charge you MSRP to replace it. BS when everyone sells them for about 1000 shipped. Im told its cause they have to break up a set. So what does that mean when there are only 7 sets made ever? IDK
If i were in the market for Fiesta parts i would jump on this man, but right now I am not. Wish I didn't have other obligations to my mustang otherwise i would be on this

I prefered the Billstein's at that low tasca price of $417 closeout deal. But backed out when Ford confirmed they didnt fit the ST because of the knuckle difference (turned out to be BS). But if both were priced the same I would go BC all the way for the more options they have over Billsteins. I need the damper adjustment more than anything where I live.
part number for bilsteins please?

Have not researched FSwerks or Levels but this buy was/is for a set of custom valved and the correct springs or (custom ordered springs at additional cost (not sure)) By Joe at 2Joe racing as he tracked his FiST and came up with this settings . Now if all BC's come this way I am not sure but it was like 3 or 4 week lead time to get my set I had ordered well before this group buy came along.. just trieing to finish a promise i made with him by posting up around the net... Its all Good in the end I hope

they're still available from Bilstein from what I can gather. I created the listing.
