Hello everyone,

I am organising another group buy for " BC Coilovers "
Our last group buy was a success and all members were more than happy with what they recieved.

Thanks to "ZERO COOL aka. brad", he has provided me a bg astina wedge BG10P2 strut top. This has been recieved by BC, and they are willing to custom make these mounts and slip them into a kf/kh/bg fwd/awd kit as everything else is the same apart from the front strut top to be a bolt in replacement for the BG10P2 astina wedge.

These will be made to order and will not be a stocked item unfortually due to demand worldwide. BC would like to see 5 kits ordered with the custom tops made to make it worth their while. If worse comes to worse and it gets close and there is quanity of the regular kits, mark from wholesale suspension should be able to work out something with BC.

The B.C. racing range is fully height adjustable from both coil plat form and lower clevis bracket, to ensure correct shock absorber travel at all suspension heights. B.C. coil over range also provides 32 levels of adjustment to allow precise dampening settings. The Mono Tube design and Multi Shim valve ensures the correct valving is obtained to suit the individual applications

" VA series: consists of front top pillow ball mounts and rubber rear upper mounts "

McPherson strut type Bc coilover's use a forged steel lower clevis mount for increased strength unlike other competitors who use aluminum.

- Once they arrive in stock, i'll pop over to wholesale suspension and take a photo off the coilovers that have arrived to show you guys that, its all real etc... for people that arent picking up

- [b]The coilovers are property of wholesale suspension until paid in full and funds confirmed. If only deposit paid and not in full.

- Deposits will be refunded by wholesale suspension if the deal doesnt happen as described etc. In saying that, if your circumstances changes, your deposit will not be refunded. *** If your circumstances changes and someone else from the forum will purchase your set and is able to pay a deposit/or in full. I will contact wholesale suspension to refund your deposit. ***

[Sam_323]

are good examples of both sides

[chrisw]

if your running the group buy for 1 months time or so, im happy to put down an order for a set, but it would be for a BG FWD, so im assuming this is a BG wedge?

[gtarone]

I have 97 Mazda 323 Astina Hardtop. Willl these be good for my model?
I'm interested for end of July, i'll be over seas till then.

Cheers,
Steve.

They don't... For $1400 you'd be far better off getting Koni/Eibach.

[02-KQ-LASR]

zero cool do you own xsbass's old laser? (from fl.com)

yes, those would be better struts, but you'd still have to pair a spring with that like kings or lovells, and no strut top camber adjustment. i just wish i had $1400, not even the credit card has room to spare.

Have been doing reasearch on suspension for about 4 months now and these things are the best for their price. Very good performance and low price (for adjustable suspension). Over the last month i've been chatting with some guys in the US who have done a lot of track work. 2 of the guys have changed suspension about 4 times using the likes of TIEN, HKS & BUDDY CLUB and other biig names and all have been less than impressive for their price. Since changing to BC's they've done nothing but tell their friends to buy a kit. Josh from Wholesale suspension in Blacktown, where I purchased mine said that he has not had to advertise this kit at all as they are walking themselves out the door. I've have already bought a set however i received a Mazda 3 kit by mistake but getting the right one sent now. Will post pics when i receive and put them on

Because low quality, off the shelf, always-ridiculously-too-high-spring-rates-to-make-up-for-the-shocks-piss-poor-ability-to-control-bump-properly is so much better...

and no strut top camber adjustment

So you buy adjustable strut tops... point?

[derb]

this group buy still going? i'm organising funds at the moment so i'll register interest for one set for

1990-1994 Mazda 323 BG WEDGE (WITH CUSTOM FRONT STRUT TOP)

will think spring rates later.

[project.r.racing]

nope, it is dead.

[derb]

awww, at least i know coilovers for the BG wedge exist.
