Another angle vid:

I think for a streetable suspension.. this could be used in competition as well..
the rear is MUCH more compliant. ite way easier to predict how much its rotating and adjust counter steer, or throttle accordingly.
I can certify that this suspension can make your Z into a doughnut carving machine
Perhaps in the early spring I can do a drift day at Summit point, as well as a grip driving day.
maybe an Auto X over the winter.. I'm a happy camper

BC vs D2 comp would be great though.

BC are 46mm pistons
if your car is setup to the point where you are even potentially overheating the dampers, you're not likely to even have Megan, BC, etc or any other similar brand your vocabularly

I don't know how it looks in person but on their site there is info that the cylinders are 53mm, so I am bit confused.

donuts, cool..... I love the ones with sprinkles on them.....
Apreciate your review (and the donusts)..........
I will be doing a review myself of these coilovers (and a few of their other aplications) for the owner/operator of BC Racing Suspension of North America (the master/main distributer in North America for BC).
I will post up my findings. I will state the pros & the cons to these coilovers in comparison to the (14 and counting) other types/brands that I have street/track/drift tested on these cars.

we can do 20mm shorter on the springs...it will go to the point where you will hit everything with the car.
on the front you can drop it down to the tire. so basically bringing the tire up to the fender is about where it goes.
