Default BC coilovers

How do these compare to something like the tein super streets? the BC are around 500 cheaper than the SS's fitted so that means I could use that to get some sway bars too. Could always wait a couple weeks but am impatient :\


Cheers

HSDs are much better for the same price as BC coilovers.

HSDs give you a much bigger inverted damper. And you get camber adjustable tops on the rears too.

So when do I get my commission cheque Joe?

Yeah sucks how long until next shipment Joe? I am at a loss of what to do would love to get this done in the next few weeks. I may settle for the extra and go teins in the end. My problem is my patience, or lack thereof :P...


Cheers

I'd recommend Teins over HSD's, but of course, value for money wise you can't beat the HSD's.

The thing is, the HSD coilovers are in stock as they are the same for all GD models, apart from the brackets which are STi specific....and the brackets are what aren't in stock!

I'll ask my supplier again to see if they're getting any in within a week or two, will let you know.

Thanks alot mate, yeah teins are next on my list they are not that much more at the end of the day, but would rather use the savings and get some sway bars and maybe an ALK.

Cheers

Stefan how much are they charging you to fit the teins? I can fit them for you and you can save the extra money towards your swaybars. All I do all day atm is work on cars/sleep/gym and watch youtube and perth wrx anyway haha.

Cheap china ones, looks like she may be going into Wheels World to get some teins + a roll centre kit and maybe some sway bars too.

Cheers for all your help guys.
