Was looking at these on trade me and i was wondering if they are very durible and if they are in the same league as tein shocks and others. Cheers

We might need some more details,

What Version, Reds / Golds?

Purpose etc.

I know that a couple of my mates has used them over the years and they have seem to like them without any problems.

not in the same class as tein and cusco etc. comparable perhaps to other tiwanese brands, D2 etc. i've been told the adjustable top hats cause constant wheel alignment issues

gold type, just for road use but maybe a track day here and there

Got golds in my GC8. IMO VERY good shocks for the money. No comparison to D2s... D2s should NEVER have been made, they are that shit.

Only issue i have with mine, is who ever set them up initially had all the damper settings on the piss (different on all corners... drastically), and has set WAY too much preload on them. The preload is to the point where if i wind it out and set it correctly, im pretty sure my car will lower to the point itll be below certed height ( and then ill need to wind up the actual height adjusters). This makes them a little crashy over bumps, but not to the point they are painful (unlike those damn D2s).

Just set them up correctly (very little preload), and they will be sweet.

you're referring to the 1st gen of d2's i assume, apparently the 2nd gen are better, which i was comparing the bc's to. your feedback is more relevant than mine however, as i'm only passing what industry professionals have mentioned to me, and yours is based on actual experiance.

i have been considering the bc golds too

tbh im not sure what gen D2s they were, all i know is they might as well have just been scaffolding rods instead of coilovers.

[sultan]

a scaffolding rod would give a pretty solid ride... sounds interesting

I have BC Golds in my car as well..

They are a very, very good shock for the money.. They are made in the same factory as Apexi..

I rate them very highly..

Give a nice comfortable ride around the street... And yet they can handle the track just as well...

Cheers

i run bc golds in my foz, i love them, with the adjustable dampening they go from softer than standard v7 suspension (which i've had in my car) to about the same as at 7 clicks, then they go all the way to 32 clicks which help the old foz keep wheels on the ground going round corners on the track.
