Like the titles says, I decided to go with BC racing coilovers, BR type, and finally had the chance to install them a couple weeks ago. I love these, the drop is nice and the ride is perfect.

I didn't get a chance to take many pictures during install unfortunately. Please excuse the dirty pics, those were taken after it rained.

The front still has some room to go down, but the rear is as far as it can go.

Please let me know what you think, thanks....

Stance looks good. How's the ride..realistically, not on buttery smooth roads?

Does this kit use the stock rubber upper strut mounts? Or does it come with pillowball top mounts?

haha yeah man, picked this one up last summer. Always wanted a vert and found it for a good deal. Yes BC makes coilovers but they are listed for the w203. None of these suspension companies know they are direct fitment with each other. Don't remember exactly what i paid, but it was basically regular pricing, maybe a small hookup from my shop.

Thank you! It rides stiff like a lowered car. But i like this type of ride over stock so i can't complain. I've had Tein, Megan and BC coilovers but I like these the most.

Thank you! They run about a $1k these are for the w203 though, so you'll have to search for that.

I'm pretty sure they didn't come with pillowball mounts.
