Hi guys, 

 

I'm looking at getting BC-racing BR series for my gc8 but I have heard about clunking noise at the back even with rubber upper mounts in the rears 

 

just wondering if anyone running the same set and have this problems? 

 

Thanks for your inputs 

 

Cheers

I put a set in my RS also, fitted in 2011 I think. Been great so far. You'd be hard pressed finding a genuine bad review on BC's I think.

Also run bc brs in my gen 2. Cant fault them really. Had them since 2012.

sold our 200th set of bc's today, we have had 5 genuine warranty claims ( that didnt stem from incorrectly installed parts) in 3 years.

I know they good budget coilovers, I had them on my Forester before (Forester sold)

 

but from what I've heard, this problem only happen on GC8 

 

basically, need feedback from people who have / had them in their GC8

 

Thanks for all the inputs anyway

Hi, 

 

do you have any special deal on BC atm ? or will you have any special deal in the near future? 

 

cheers

All the positive feedback I hear on them makes me pretty damn keen to put the rs back on the road with the near new bc's ive put into it

what about the V1 series?

 

I went with the V1's for my RS. I don't regret my decision. Not that I am able to make a direct comparison with the BR's because I haven't used them however with the V1's the car feels firm yet remains fairly comfortable. Which is exactly what I needed them to do.

I would also be happy to recommend them.

looks like I'm going for the V1 series as my car won't see any tracks anyway, cheers
