BC racing BR Coilover install - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #80302 26 posts Started by drumbum
Just ordered my BC racing BR coilovers researched throughly about multiple coilovers, and struts and springs... Decided to go with the BC BR coilovers because they seemed to to have 0 negative reviews compaired to the megans.... Im pretty stoked about the install... Going to post some photos of install and a detailed review after the install...

Also if anyone has these I think im going to put them on full soft... And a 1.75 drop does that seem like a good setup...??

Install will be hopefully this weekend ... biggrin.gif

Its been 3 weeks now since i ordered these and have not come in yet

Good choice. I have these on mine too, but I haven't played around with the damper settings or ride height too much.

So have yours turned up yet?

i am waiting for mine too...

What I think when you think I care
ive found 12 clicks front and rear to be good for me

start on all the way soft... and tighten a few clicks at a time until the bouncyness goes away

Interesting. Must make them probably $900 picked up? That's not too bad.

Much luck on the install.

The quality of these are really good, no messing around at all. My Brother installed all four corners in just over an hour.

Will hopefully install them soon... Yes ive heard great things about BC thats why i picked up these over the megans. But yeah hopefully by the end of september.

Looks good!

Does anyone know if these fit an AT200?
Yes they fit the AT200..



NEEDS MOAR LOW!
is that the ride height right out of the box? im thinking about grabbing a set in about a month or so smile.gif
looks good. I'd say lower the rear end just a bit about another inch and your good. Nice choice of wheels! Simple clean look!!!

It is not right out of the box... they are packaged way to low... as in they won't even work that low... only the fronts if i remember right... But you can adjust them a lot more lower than i have... you could probably slam it with them if you wanted to

You must have roads flat as glass smile.gif . I have on my BCs height like this and suffer as hell in CZ:







can you see scratched splitters? or how is under-panel scratched? When changing tires next months I will raise it for half and inch for sure. I have learned like this it is not drivable on 25% of roads here kindasad.gif

When was brand new I used 64.5cm (25.4inch) rear and 61.5cm (24.2inch) front. But after 1000-2000miles it "settled down" for sure (I touch everything around more than before smile.gif). Do not know how much because I have not measured it yet. This will happen in few weeks when I will raise it. Than let you know how much they dropped them selves.

This is really late but, how was the install? Was it a plug and play or was there welding involved ?

This will be plug and play on a GT or ST chassis.
If its a ST205, or any other variant that uses the super strut suspension, there will be some cutting and welding required.

EDIT: I see you've got a convertible. This should fit no problem.
