bc racing ran with 1 piston down on their front brakes meaning they were braking early to prevent anything bad from happening and still made those times
oh snap, fastest lap goes to bc
i was just making an argument because of others bashing bc's off the shelf coilovers compared to their $3k coilovers...shows you dont need those coilovers to be competitive.

Very nice!
I remember Scott Bush was going to give us his impressions of the setup after running with it on the track.. too bad he's banned now
Does anyone here speak to him regularly? Can we get his input? I'm guessing it will be positive seeing how he placed first lol, but I for one would like to hear his complete opinion.

Congrats to Pete, Scott, and the BC team.
Maybe they used some of that money they saved and got some more go fast goodies.
BC FTW!
I believe he was also running WP Pro Brakes

Just installed the BC's last week and I must say I'm in love. I was lowered on eibach pro kit at first and (obviously) there is no comparison. The drop is perfect and the ride is 100 times better. Great deal for the money!

My friend and I installed my new suspension last night and I must say it kicks ***. I got BC Racing coilovers, SPC toe bolts, PowerGrid end links, and Cusco A Arms (which aren't installed yet since I didn't know that I needed buy the cone bushings).
I just got my first alignment done to get rid of the horrible toe mostly and the thing is on RAILS! I went for a night drive through some twistys (25 mph zones
). The car is completely solid... and I haven't even put my front strut brace back on!
I definitely recommend these coilovers up to this point. They have all the adjustability of the other flashier coilover companies' products and perform well too.
NOTE: I put them on max stiffness, didn't change heights out of the box (letting them settle), and I also have several handling mods to add to my impression of these like sway bars and all the GTSpec bas. Overall though the BC coilovers made a huge difference. Absolutely two or three times more fun to drive the car now. I wouldn't recommend changing the height out of the box since I didn't and it has been about 16 hours since the install and the car is already 1/4 inch above the tires after about 4 hours of driving time altogether.

Can't wait for my set to get here some time next week!
