Taiwan Bor Chuan or BC Racing also produces coilovers for Megan Racing, Stance, Tein and APEXi. Not sure who else they produce coilovers for...
Either way, I don't like dampners that adjust bound and rebound with the same ****. IMO, if you get coilovers, get it for the adjustable ride height. Otherwise, stick with springs and struts.

The 10kg/8kg spring rates are fine for the street. I was weary of the higher spring rates compared to the Tein 350Z S-Techs I had on the car, but I can't really tell a difference.
Thank Gilley, just needed someone to give me some feedback thanks again.. Also, i was wondering how hard is it to install it by urself?

just need a few tools, crowbar and a breaker is helpful.
Possibly replacement cotter pins and some liquid wrench.
Here is a nice DIY

I tend not to disconnect the sway bar end links thats where the crowbar comes into effect to push down and create clearance to remove front shock.

i have had my bc racing coilovers for a few weeks now and they have been nothing but awesome!!
i run 14 12 rates. i have sold and installed a few 12 10 rates.
the rates you need depend on what you plan on doing with the car.

I guess it's privileged info... BC is one of the biggest coilover manufacturers in Taiwan. It's also the one I wouldn't buy from unless I'm getting coils made to custom specs.Originally Posted by Blackjack

Teins r actually from japan not taiwan. The piston sizes on teins are not as large as the taiwanese made coilovers and the asjustments do work unlike the ksport, megan, attak, f2 etc.
