The new shorter rear spring to work with the new spring platform is ready, and Begbie will have it to test next week.

Latest update :

BC got a coupe into their factory and have come up with the solution for the rear. They are going to make a shorter rear damper, along with a new set of 180mm springs and a new spring perch.

The damper / spring / perch should be done by the end of October.

Pictures are as below :

Looks good smile

I'm guessing there's normally a weather proof boot on there and it was just removed for the picture?

End of October, or maybe wait till I have them, then buy the new kit? I know SM_SXOC will be posting this week, but I'm helping him out on what he has sent me. I presume the people who have the kit already will be sorted out.

I hope so too!

Well I know Flea was impressed with the turn in on the coupe when I took him out at Curborough and I only had it set at -1 degree of camber and straight ahead toe. Fishy Dave I think was also surprised at how RWD the car felt when I took him out laugh

This is what i have on my car, these are custom made suspensions made by the company that provides suspension for many WRC cars here in France. The strut is copied from the original and the springs are calculated for the weight of my car and usage with a modified bilstein shock.

The wishbones are OEM fiat but modified to accept bearings. No more play in the front drivetrain

Very pleased with it.


Might be interested in BC kit for the rears as i'm still running koni's and eibach springs are the rear

Well, oddly enough, at 12pm today, I received my new shortened shocks, so I'm sure that will be done fairly shortly.

Completely off topic but, Begbie which Alfa are the teledials from (GTV?) and are they a straight fit?

I think they are replicas as they are four stud. Most Alfa wheels are 5 stud in 17".

Sorry to bring this back up, but could someone tell me if the BC's allow you to run at standard height? Or what the highest height you can run at with these fitted?

I've just fitted mine, although I've not set mine at standard height I would expect there is sufficient adjustment to do it

Make sure the eye ends are secure on the rear dampers. I know they are not identical but D2 use the same kit and there have been a few eye end s come loose.
Looks a nice kit though, I bet you can't wait to get them fitted.

Make sure you have the rear spring set up where the springs cannot become dislocated on full travel
