I hope so! Wasn't really please with my silverline X...
FK's offer only 1°4 max camber! And are so crashy and bumpy on our Gironde countryside roads!

Hi Freddan! Order mine from DC Performance. Ask them if they will ship the last version with enhanced rear spring and mount. Dan (my contact @DC) call BCracing and they confirm it's the last version . Dust cover are normally send with the kit? Why don't you have it in yours? How do you do without dust cover? Thanks for help!

One other thing that I have noticed. There are two holes that are used for guiding the original top mount.  When I changed to BC Racing Coilovers I saw that the holes are not covered. I talked to friend, who has installed D2 coilovers, and the top mount on D2 covers the holes. Anyone know why BC made a smaller top mount? Should I plug the holes or just leave them?

I've just left them on mine, they are only there to help locate the mounts on the original suspension.

I've received my kit today. Great quality product, good packaging... but they missed the rear shock dust cover like Freddan!
I contact DC performance to ask them... ;-)

Dan @dcperformance said to me the probable reason is that the rear damper that Begbie try first is not the same as we buy. If you look the last Begbie's pics (with the same damper as us) , it hasn't the dust cover. But i think it's more secure with it! To confirm, Dan ask BC tomorrow. I let you know what he said to me. http://www.bc-racing.co.uk/accessories/bc-damper-boot-inverted-largest-hole-1.html

Some news of the BC factory, they confirmed that the new rear damper design doesn't need a dust cover.
So it appears to not be an error Freddan. ;-)

Maybe people should re-read this thread, page 4 onwards.
And the lack of response from certain people.

Hi Dlongstaff, Can you be clear cause i've read the thread and it's difficult to make an opinion. Apparently the sprint dislocation problem is resolved and it's normal that there is no dust cover. I'll check the rear damper oftenly and clean/greased them and i will see. I've a good contact with the seller DC performance and they have check directly with the BC factory. I'm confident with their answers, maybe it's a mistake... Do you still use the BC kit? Do you still have problem with it? Thanks for your help! @freddan : i'll put the car on the lift tomorrow, but i'll have news only in fews weeks cause i unmount the rear subframe too (whiteline ARB and solids bushes)!

I have installed the kit. No major issues. Just the top bolt for the rear damper. A little bit tricky to get it out  . I am thinking of making a dust cover. Just need to measure the damper and go to the shop and see what they have in stock. Solid bushes and rear ARB  From where did you get bushes? 22 or 24 mm ARB?

Re Freddan! Yes the rear damper is hard to get out! For the dust cover, there is that, but i don't know if its compatible : http://www.bc-racing.co.uk/accessories.htmlThe bushes come from Nikolay on ebay (ferrarist on the forum) : Solid rear subframe bushes The ARB is on 22 mm, 24mm seems to be too rigid for road/track use.

The coilovers are installed. I went to visit my wheel alignment guy and he only managed to get -1 degree of camber. Toe was set to zero.  This is front right position. Maybe I have installed them wrong. I can't tell..... I thought I should at least get -1.5 degrees. For me -1 degree is okay. I will most of the time use the car on the road. For track I think I will use eccentric bolts and set it to -2.5 degrees. I will get back to you with more info regarding the damping. I just need to drive more before I can say anything

I'll see if I can get a pic of mine, but I'm sure mine isn't set that far across for -1 degree of camber and straight ahead on the toe.

Only -1° degree! I hope it's a mistake... It's less than my precedent FK's.

I'll finish my mounting tomorrow and i'll can test with a camber jauge this week end, i'll let you informed.

This is what is noticed on the BC's manual :
HEAD LIGHT
LEFT RIGHT
REAR OF THE CAR
The plates sides (L,R) are indicated on mine.
A French friend have this kit and obtain -2° with it.
