anyone else ordering these? I think I am getting them for the $875 shipped, but I would like to see what others think. Has anyone else found them from a vendor for lower than the $875?

Yes, I talked to a seller who has them listed for $900 and they offered to go lower by contacting them just like you want us to do to you!

Are you a vendor here?

wishinsi.. i read on some of the older clubrsx forums that their megan racing coilover made poppin sounds when they turned (the front coilovers), in order to fix this they lubed it up with some grease. was wondering if you are having this problem or if you lubed it up anyways before installing..thanks alot

the top hats on the fg kits carry a compete set of bearings that allow 100% movement without popping

I'm really interested in swapping out my springs for these, but I'm not sure how good i would be at changing the dampening, spring rates, etc. Any advice? What settings are you guys using?

Haven’t heard any popping noise yet, I have my spc front and rear camber kit sitting on my floor waiting to install, they are extremely stiff, as someone said on here even on the softest setting you still can feel everything, the only problem I’m having is the rear bottoming out when going over moderate to big shifts in pavement, as for the finger gap settings, lol apparently its 2 on the front, 2 on the driver rear and 1 on the passenger rear, apparently when I was putting them on I was a lil tired, so I have to readjust the height and take measurements......

Bros,

Check out this website...www.bcec.com.tw.

You'll notice that the naming convention of the springs are very similar to the way they sell the megan springs as well, ie 62.150.006 = spring length = 150mm and 6kg/mm spring rate. Anyway, go figure......color, shape, looks the same. These coilovers retails for only about $700 USD in asia, but of course shipping there and all makes it a bit more expensive.

I am also running these Bor Chuann Racing coilovers on my civic FD2, which is a tuned down variant with 155hp dohc engine in asia. They are pretty stiff, definitely stiffer than the Tein super street. Guys, try out D2 racing. They have it already in asia for the civic sedan, which means that it is going to be out really soon in the USA and they are not hard as they are rumored to be. They are in fact just slightly stiffer than tein super street and definitely more comfortable than my BC Coilovers, which I suppose are the so called 'megan racing' coilovers. Only problem with the BC coilovers are that when you go over potholes, you'll hear a pop sound. I think the springs compress, and rebounds quickly but the dampers cannot release as fast as the springs. That's just what I think it is, I could be wrong. Just to share with you guys.....

By the way, the settings go by clicks right? Well, I am assuming they are the same thing so based on having them for about 3 months already, I think 14/32 (32 being the hardest, so 14 meaning you turn anti clockwise all the way, then clockwise by 14 clicks but skipping the first cos the first is actually 0). So it is slightly softer than the midpoint.

For the rears, you can set about midpoint, ie 16. I noticed if the fronts are set more than mid, it becomes very bouncy and comfort is really compromised. Just my opinion from using it longer than most people.

just bought the system from http://www.wesellcarparts.com for $875 shipped with the discount code. I hope to get in a few days and then get these installed!

Sorry to the seller who had these, I did not purchase from you since I'd rather buy from a dealer and have the 1 yr warranty!
