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 :

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. Looks good I'm guessing there's normally a weather proof boot on there and it was just removed for the picture? I hope so too! well its sounding good but need to make my mind up to go for these or stick with the GAZ set ive been looking at 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

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

I'd like to know this too! Well, oddly enough, at 12pm today, I received my new shortened shocks, so I'm sure that will be done fairly shortly.

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
