^^ yea i am interested in these too. They are like 1000 for the BR spec ones. They seem to be well built from the looks of them.

Lemme know where you getting them from. There's a JDM Motor shop near my house that sells them a lot of 350z and G35s. I remember seeing a Sponsored G35 with these at a Time Attack event a year or so ago.

Yep says so on their site, and the fronts shocks are inverted. By the design, dare I say these could drop like B&G's? lol

Racersky: Could you get the hookup possibly? Is that what your saying?

assaulttech is who I pm'd, along with other coilover prices... will let you all know how it goes.

I just got a set of the BRs from BC. I got 3 out of 4 installed right now so I'm holding off on the review until I get the 4th in. My endlink is messed up so I couldn't get the last one out. But I was able to get the coilovers with 6k front 8k rear spring rates instead of 8k/10k for no additional charge. Total cost was $1050.

I'm guessing you want the comfort and coilover package in one?

I highly doubt it but I could try and give them a call to see if I did a groupbuy of some sort maybe they would lower the price or something.

got the email back from them and this is what they said,


"The fronts will come with camber and the rears will have pillow ball mounts. There is no way to do rear camber plates cause it's not a McPherson style strut, it's a double a-arm in the rear. The spring rates are 8k-f/10k-r. If you are wanting something else i will change them out at no additional charge. I can definitely do something softer if that's what your looking for. I wouldn't recommend going any softer than 6k/8k, if you plan on doing any autocross or track days. Cause of the broad dampening range we can offer a pretty soft rate on the off-the-shelf kits. The 8k/10k setup believe it or not will actually be pretty close to a factory like ride with greatly increased handling."

he told me they could get them to me for $1050 shipped.

I only have 3/4 of them on and I don't really remember the stock ride, but I don't think it rides like stock on 6k/8k... They are still stiffer and if you look at the rates used on other vehicles the 8k/10k rate they offer for the tC is pretty stiff. Evos and STis get like 8k/6k.

If you could try that would be great! I know I am interested for sure. I need some coils with higher spring rates! And these look about perfect!

Also, the raamaudio guy said that he has ridden in a vehicle with these and thought highly of them.

The inverted shock design was also used in the zeal coilover, and those had supposedly the most comfortable ride of any of the other coils out for the tC even when dropped real low. Not saying that's the case with these, just thought I would through out where else that design was used. I think JIC uses an inverted shock in the front as well.

I will still probably get the 8k/10k ones.

still not sure how good these are but their customer service is excellent, got back to me in the same day.


Air2TheThrown has them and says he loves them and that they have done well for him for the past year.
