Bc racing coilvers

Hello friends! I would like to have opinions on these suspensions of a real user, I am a daily driver, some races of 1/4 mile and very rarely circuits ... some fast driving by mountain and highway .. would be these mid-range suspensions a good recommendation? Thank you.

I had them on my M4 and they were great and performed well. They are not as adjustable as lets say KW3's or Ohlins since it used a cross over adjustment stack. One adjustment adjusts both comp & reb at one time. The other more expensive systems have separate adjustments for each and the racing systems have adjustments for high speed & low speed compression.

I never installed them on the M2..just went with springs

thanks for your answer! I see that they are not very popular ... I took them in my old bmw 135i and they went very well and without problems, but I did not know if in a car M they would go well and improve the suspensions of origin ... I'm not going to circuits and I do not want a lot of regulation ...

They are not KW3's or Ohlins R&T but they perform very well and the price point is great. I had very good luck with them

Anyone else running these? Would like to know why these are so cheap compared to others.

I'm interested in hearing about these as well with an upgraded Swift Spring setup. Was considering the M Performance but they don't lower the car anymore than 25mm which is just under and inch and I don't think that is enough to close the wheel gap. Maybe 1.25-1.5 inches is what I'm going for. Any suggestions without breaking the bank?

Swift Spring upgrade would be nice and thats the exact combo I am looking for.

Unfortunately, not a lot of people run BC Coilovers as they are seen entry level here. Whats nice about them is they are fully height adjustable without compromising compression of the springs as well.

I wonder what will be better. kw HAS on stock shocks or BC racing coilovers. Technically KW HAS are still springs with stock shocks. So the dampening on it will not be that great. But I guess people gravitate towards it cause its KW.

I considered the HAS kit from KW as well but I am reading there are some noise issues coming from them.
