BC Racing DR Series Coilover Review

Jhill

Glad to see a review on these vs the kW as I am currently interested in either one. I will not go as firm as you and just stay stock spec 10k f / 8k r which already sounds very firm to me. I don't want a harsh track car as my dd so even those rates have me worried. I hear the KW are great for street and track so that makes me very tempted plus they can go all the way up to .6 drop which is good for me as I do not actually want to lower my z just want the ability to tweak damper rates. Still stuck between the BR, DR, and KW. The BC coil over are starting to sound like a very good product for the price and it's surprising to hear you switched from the KW to them (usually everyone wants the KW) only thing I'm not liking about the BC is according to them min drop is between 1-1.5 inches which is more than I want for street (been lowered on other cars and it just doesn't make sense for the area I live).

One thing I can not find anywhere after searching is what is the V3 spring rate? I have no way to compare them to the BC because KW has no published rate that I can find.

Honestly I would go with the DR with maybe a 14/12k spring rates. The digressive damping and swift springs would lead to a stiff, but still rather forgiving ride. The 18/14k I went with doesn't feel nearly as bad as I thought it would. Hell... a lot of the competitive autocross Z guys went much higher than I went even (some 22-24k front). I'm very happy with them after the few weeks i've been driving and couple of events I've done.
