Hi,
I haven't posted here in quite a while, but there's something on my mind.
I've spent the summer upgrading my brakes (996 front brakes) and replacing the wheel bearings on my -99 2.5 with factory m030 (Europe) and I've realized that my dampers are done. After 25 years, they just don't work the way they should. The springs are still fine, though.
I could spend some money buying OEM spec Bilstein dampers with some additional parts (bellows and such).
OR I could spend about the same amount of money on a complete set of adjustable BC Racing BR coilovers with adjustable camber plates in the front and rubber top mounts in the rear.
From what I can see online, there seems to be a lot of opinions on the BC Racing coilovers. Especially from people who haven't actually tried tried them. Of course, I could spend a lot more money and get the Bilstein B16 kit, but I don't really like the idea of spending that amount of money on such a cheap car. I also would have to settle for the original 25 y o top mounts...
I'm not that interested in getting the car lower. The m030 kit puts it at a perfect ride height, and I'd still like to be able to drive over speed bumps.
Any thoughts? If you have experience of the BC Racing coils, I'd really like to know.
