I found a UK producer of coilovers for the C63 called BC.
They have a set of coilovers with height and stiffness adjustment options for 830eur. Seems like a good deal but I have never heard of the company. Anyone here knows them?

For comparison H&R coils cost in Europe 1050eur. KW V3 go for 2100eur and Clubsports for 2650eur.

they are pretty popular in the jdm tuning scene particularly with subarus but also with hondas. they are mostly for lowering though and not really the choice for performance.

Agreed with above for the most part. BC racing is big in a few of the more popular tuner cars (subaru, mitsubishi, honda, dodge, etc.) and are known to be a good value product.

When I had an STI, the assumed quality went (from high to low):

KW>>H&R>>BC>>Megan

Overall, they are a good product at an excellent price. If you're buying them to make your car look better and perform a little better, this is the brand for you. If you're going to be tracking your car a fair amount, and your main concern is handling and durability, H&R or KW may warrant the increased cost.

I have BC's on my Evo and for the price, they've been great. They're far from best performing coilovers out there, but they ride smooth and work exactly like I need them to. I think they're pretty hard to beat for the price.

+63 to all the comments about these in the tuner scene . i'm sure you don't track your car all the time or anything crazy like that so i would say go with the H&Rs like i have ( if you are in the market to purchase ) . i couldn't be happier with my setup . i know the KWs are the better option than the H&Rs but why spend that much more for nothing . seems like many people bought the KWs because they are the best but then never track their cars

I first heard of BC Racing when I was in a Mazdaspeed3 and yes, they are somewhat popular with the Japanese import scene. Priced right & comes with all the bells & whistles like adjustable damping, etc but of dubious quality. One particular MS3 owner had a bad experience when one of the front strut mounting points managed to shear off leaving him stranded on the side of the road. I'm sure this is an isolated case but brands like Megan & BC offer bang for the buck but are lacking in performance and QC. It's cheap for a reason.

Take H&R Street coilovers for instance (the ones that I and most other C63 owners probably run), those are actually Bilstein struts & shocks underneath the anodized shock bodies. Their Race coilovers use Konis. Quality isn't some random accident. To a certain degree, it costs more to make a quality product more often than not.

Are these the Buddy Club coilovers? I had the Buddy Clubs on my Evo IX. They do the basic job of allowing you to adjust ride height and corner balance. The struts and shocks are manufactured to support a low price point rather than provide great performance. You can have a nice low stance with these, but I'd be surprised if the set up performed any better than the OEM suspension (I'd suspect worse). If you don't track your car, it's probably good enough for street driving.

BC racing isnt the same as Buddy Club.

BC is decent even in the import scene. They are not even near the magnitude of Tein for Japanese cars. As for the comparison to Euro cars, BC is the lower end product. KW, H&R, and Bilstein is by far a much better component. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Hope this helps. Thanks

I've had a set on one of my race evo's. They worked very well. They also offer reasonable rebuild service. Not to mention they come ready to bolt in which cuts cost and they will build them to your specs and valve them accordingly. I believe the company BC is local to Oralndo Florida though and not over seas.

can the BC coilovers that are meant for C63 work for the C300 4Matic.. does anyone know
