BC Racing or TEIN Coilovers?
Any recommendations on which coilover to choose? Am currently running on Bilstien B16 but its already been clocked for 100k km mileage and the rebound is not as good as it was already. Therefore am currently considering a cheaper option to go for BC Racing or Tien coilovers. Will be aiming towards the ones that are able to adjust the rebound.
Any advise on which to choose?

From what I hear, BC Racing coils are just for the looks if you want to slam your car and not really for performance. This is coming from my friends who own BC personally on their car. Don't know anyone with the Tein so can't speak for that. However, I personally own the ST XA coilovers which have the adjustable rebound. Price is in the 1k USD range. I wrote my initial review for them too on the forums.

If they do I can vouch for the Japanese Engineering. I have the the HE for 60k miles and then the new FLEX street with EDFC for 50k miles when I own an S14 Silvia for 13yrs. If they do make coilovers for BMW.... I'll get them. No BC racing experience and I'm scared to try. Spring/ shock setup is good for DD most of the time... just don't have adjustability |

What's your budget for the coilover upgrade?
KW Street Comfort coilovers provide rebound adjustment (but not compression). I had these coilovers on my 2013 BMW 335i xDrive sedan. Excellent product. |

If the Tein are available I would choose them over BC, but you cannot go wrong with BC and Swift/Hyperco springs for a daily. Look into Fortune Auto as well. They are priced less than V1 but with V2 adjustability.

Anyone heard or know anything about the ISC N1 coilovers? For an entry level price, you seem to get a lot in the kit. 2-way adjustability, and included camber plates and endlinks.

Lots of Subaru guys run them. Comparable to BCs. If you want to go the budget route and need camber plates, BCs or FAs are your best bet since they have the biggest presence/support in the USA. The swift spring upgrade would be a must for me but at that point the price goes up considerably.

FWIW Tein makes a good coilover for the price. They're built in Japan if that matters to you and the street versions use twin tube shocks and ride really nice. They also last a pretty long time. I am surprised no one on here has tried them unless they just came out for the F30.

I might go for it... just waiting for my stock suspension to take a dump or 50k miles.😅. I don't want to spend money unless its maintenance replacement... Most stock suspension last 60k miles or they fail before that |

I ran Tein on a few previous Japanese cars. They are very durable and ride good. Just be aware which models you get as some of the really low end ones are not so good. The quality is much better than BC.

It's not provided by Bilstein though. They say it cannot be done. |
