wildy55 Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Just seeing if anyone has a set of coilovers for sale. Failing that, what's the word on the BC ones that come up on ebay for about $1500? Thanks in advance fellas Quote
44014 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 MCA, Little over $2000 but thats all machined up and to allow base height adjustment and any choice of spring rate you want. Also a local Australian product. CBR Jeff 1 Quote
C.A.R. Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 BC = cheap Chinese shit. Heavy springs mask the poor valving in the damper assembly's MCA, Little over $2000 but thats all machined up and to allow base height adjustment and any choice of spring rate you want. Also a local Australian product. This^^^FAR superior product. All designed & manufactured in Australia. Quote
wildy55 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Posted March 3, 2017 Cool as Spoke to josh at MCA and Blues are $2100 and X $2500 Rates are 5kg front and 4kg rear. This is the first time I've heard of heavier in the front. Makes sense, but normally I've seen heavier in the rear quoted. Which set have you got, and heavier at the front? Cheers Quote
260DET Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Heavier in the front for a race car for sure, MCA really know their s**t but just make sure they know you are talking about a road car. Assuming that yours is a road car of course. Quote
wildy55 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Posted March 3, 2017 Yup, said it was a road car and still said heavier up front Quote
d3c0y Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Why would you want stiffer springs in the rear of a notoriously light rear-ended car? I've never seen it go the other way race car or otherwise? Quote

I actually remember Alan ( Z car shop ) mentioning this when he was preparing a Targa Tas car for a customer. Probably more to do with not letting the terrible geometry of the rear suspension coming into play by not allowing it to move as much. Quote
C.A.R. Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Probably more to do with not letting the terrible geometry of the rear suspension coming into play by not allowing it to move as much. The rear isn't as bad as the front! Quote
44014 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 The rear isn't as bad as the front! Look none of it is great. Just tune them like a go kart. change the stiffness of your roll cage to adjust handling PB260Z 1 Quote
