[QUOTE="KamRS, post: 168865, member: 919"] Had the shocks tested today, rears need to be replaced, with the fronts not being far behind. I have yet to confirm the final price, but over in Poland it looks like there won't be much of a price difference between replacing the 4 shocks and buying a set of BC Racing coilovers (BR series) from kamracing. I've done some reading on the forum, with people generally being satisfied with BCs (although not sure if with the BR or RM series). However, not really sure if that's down to what they offer ('tunability') and how they compare to a standard Cup setup. Having paid a premium for the Cup pack I'm a bit reluctant to change the suspension, but if the BC BRs are [b]at least[/b] as good (in terms of handling, damping etc - not looks, lowering bla bla), then might be no point in going the standard replacement route. So.. would love to hear some [b]comparison[/b] feedback from those who went the coilover route - especially if on a Cup car and double especially if you went with BC BR series ;) PS Front non Cup shocks for the RS in PL are 145GBP a piece and rear 168GBP (expect Cup to be even more, but couldn't confirm over the phone). Does this sound right or is someone having a laugh and I should just try and source them elsewhere? [/QUOTE]
