the ride is more relaxed now, i went over the same bumps i did when i first got it installed and its not as harsh as before so thats a plus. i still have to soften the rear a bit, but when i tried to get access through the trunk, i couldnt figure out how to remove those panels. ima PM dolla to see if theres a specific way or just pry it open

I guess this happens to all BCs lol. Happened to me a while ago and ride has been fine ever since.

you can't get to the coilovers from the trunk, you will have to pull them down adjust them and install them again

Yep... i pulled out my entire rear seats and pulled off everything in the trunk last weekend... couldnt find any access soooo the only way is to remove em and then put em back on.

Correct. This is what I was going to suggest is to tighten the center nut. Its a very common problem with BC's if you look all over google.

Just retighten that center nut and you should be cruising smoothly.

Hi,
was wondering how this set up is treating you?
still liking em?
Am really debating on getting these or the Teins. Can't decide. These BC's seem really great! but the teins have a great reputation.

Thanks so much

the BCs are still mad nice, sharp on turns, but still stiff. i will drift the car before i feel any serious bodyroll. thats how good my turning is now.

as for the teins, i got no experience with them so i cant really help you out there.

Ceelow94 · 05-05-2011, 09:51 PM

See, i'm liking the BC's not only because of the price but because they go lower than teins....and i see there are a couple members whom like them as well.
is there any bounce thru potholes / speedbumps?

thanks again for your time

**EddyMaxx** · 05-05-2011, 10:32 PM

Wammm Bammm Thank You Mammmmm, I love em'!

these coilovers looks very similar to the ones i have (megan) and from what i noticed stiffness doesnt only rely on damper settings. It also depends on how much force you put on spring and how low you thread the shock.

I lowered my shock threads to desired height and put about .1inch of spring load

**MAXnRLXn** · 06-17-2011, 02:22 AM

i was going to go with BC before getting my k sports! i love my ksports i never felt the BCs, but they arent true coilovers am i wrong? the backs are seperate like our stocks. i love how the k sports eliminated that i feel like it makes a big difference. and the whole not being able to access our rear strut through the trunk is so fucking stupid! when i was installing my ksports i tore up the trunk and seats looking for it lol! nissan is pretty smart for doing what they did though ill give them that!

I'm going to order these with 3k, 4k, 5k, & 6k spring rates and find the nicest riding combo and sell the others. Probably not until next spring though
