Its the spring rates, or in other words how stiff the spring is. The higher the number the stiffer the spring.

Spring Rate

Here's a link to convert to different numbers if you wish:

How did the racing go ?

Is BR 10/8 OK for street and 5-10 track sessions or should I go BR with custom 12/10k ?

M.Bonanni · 03-31-2009, 01:03 PM

The racing went very well! I have a short write up in the track/autocross section with a quick review on these coilovers. I will do a more detailed write up probably when I find some on track photos of the car

. You can tell a lot about how a car is handling in photos.

As for the spring rates, 12/10 was perfect! After a little dialing in on the track my compression/rebound was in the middle range which is ideal, leaving me room on either end of the spectrum for more adjustments. I would not go any stiffer than these spring rates and probably won't need to go stiffer until the car is heavily modified.

Wasnt to harsh for street ? I'm just debating on going 10/8 or 12/10 on the BR series.

M.Bonanni · 03-31-2009, 01:16 PM

I don't mind it on the street at all. Its no Cadillac, but its definately not near as harsh as it sounds like it would be.

Is the BR series in stock and ready to be shipped?

M.Bonanni · 04-06-2009, 10:42 AM

^^^Yes sir!

I have a question with the New ER series... Can the remote reservoirs be lengthened to allow for under the hood adjusment and in the Hatch adjustment? Also if you had to name a nearest competitor for theses coilovers who would give them a run for their money(KWv3)? I have a track day may 17th and would like to have a good setup for a good price

let me know what we can work out.

Unfortunately not, unless you were to make your own hose to replace the one that it comes with.

If I had to compare, I think I would put them more in the range of KWs for sure performance wise. I don't have a ton of experience with KWs, and to be honest, it has been a while since I have driven a car with them, but needless to say these BCs were very impressive for the price.

bullitt5897 · 04-14-2009, 11:15 AM

I work closely with goodridge so I was thinking of having them extended for ease of adjustment and even making a extension kit depending on how my set goes. I drove with KW's on my s2000 and dear Lord was it night and day! My KWv3's transformed the car into a whole new machine and the car was on rails from then on. I hope these BC's will do the same thing.

M.Bonanni · 04-14-2009, 11:19 AM

I am sure you will not be disappointed!
