BC racing coilovers few questions

[richardspeed10]

First of all what’s the difference between the BR and the DR coilovers also what spring rate should I order. Thanks rich

BC DR have digressive pistons, and are better suited for track work.

I have just had a set of BC DR coilovers with solid top mounts fitted to my 172 track car, I went for 8kg fronts 8kg rears. coming from H&R coilovers they’re a lot stiffer (the rears especially). On flat smooth roads they feel very good, looking forward to using them on track next year.

That’s for the speedy reply, mines only going to be a fast road car with 1/2 track days a year. So what would you recommend BR/DR also what spring rate. Thanks

Still go for the DR even if it's mainly a road car, they will react to small bumps in the road better.

What spring rate would you advise

What spring rate would you advise

My mates with 8kg/8kg on full soft is actually nicer than my H&R's, so I'd probably go with that or maybe 7kg.

Go for the DR variant. I agree with James 7/8kg front 8kg rear. I am currently finding mine a lot harder than my old H&Rs. I have only done around 150 miles with them fitted so I presume they’re still bedding in.

What have you got the dampening set to?

Fully soft on the front, and 8 clicks from soft on the back iirc.

Full soft all round is really nice on the road in my mates car with 8/8kg.
