S13 Coilovers

Post by GameBoy »

What brand and model numbers would you guys recommend? ISC's, BC's, etc. I need them to clear my 17" 9J rims with 225/45/17 tires. Tired of my SX looking like a 4x4!

Anyone in CPT got stock? Want to get by tomorrow. All the people I called need to order.

think you can get entry bc for that and isc. I personally like both coilovers but my advice will be to get bc purely cuz bc is there in cape town that way you will get good support and from what i hear spares for them are available

Who has stock?
I called Motojunky, BC-SA.co.za and few others but no stock in CPT. Don't want to wait 5-8 weeks for a order from overseas!

Pieter uses ISC and hes pretty happy with them.

Id save a bit more and get the BC BR series with camber plates.

But ya, thats your options!!!

Hey guys thought i would pop a quick one in here and ask why you guys prefer the "BC",
as I am looking to buy my first set of coil overs for my s13.

These where what i was looking at but also would prefer not importing anything.

Any advice is always welcome.
