BC Racing Coilovers installed on F14 Forgestar! vs other Coilovers

I've owned a few different coilover setups in the past few years from KW on my e65 7 series and e63 6 series. HR cup coilovers on my E46 M3 and Megan Racing on my MKIV supra and now BC Racing on my wifes Cayenne.

KW Coilovers are the BEST coilovers I have ever owned. The ride quality on them is close to stock at any height. The 7 series felt much more sporty and the 6 series was just a blast to drive and handle like its on rails! 7 series on 22 inch GFG 6 series on 21 Iforged. $3000+



HR Cups on my E46 M3 was WAY to stiff! i hated driving that thing as a DD! 19 inch SSR GT3. My wife refused to sit in this car. it was way to rough.


Megan Coilovers on the supra was also very stiff. But thats how i liked it on the sport car. With over 800 whp i didnt want it to soft. for $800.00 it was a GREAT DEAL!



BC Racing Coilovers on my wifes car 1st day impression @ $1250.00 is pretty amazing! I hired imolamotorsports here in Minnesota to do the install. I'm not exactly sure which setting it is at but the car rides very smooth and soft. I might have them go higher on the stiff end in a few weeks. I heard the install was easy but to raise the car higher or lower they have remove the suspension out of the car !



I've owned enough different cars and coilover setups to review the quality of the BC racing. its WORTH the $1250.00! The ride quality so far is up to par with KW.

Looks great! I've never had to remove coilovers to adjust the height, so that's a bummer...

Glad you like them! I have been running them on my 2010 Touareg TDI (same coilovers) for over 6 months and have been very happy. You can adjust the ride height by removing the wheels, it is adjusting the damping that requires removal of the coilovers but that is because of the mounting design used by Porsche/VW.

For the money these have been a great buy!

Those are 20" OZ Canyons I am running with 275-45-20 tires. I could adjust the coilovers lower than shown but figured this setting was good for now since I drive in snow through the Sierra's and occasionally tow.

Here are some pictures of my coilover install...
