BC Racing BR Series Vs TEIN Flex Z Coilovers

[@rosemars8]

Hands down the clearest comparison video I've seen.

[@nefariousracing]

Glad it helped!

[@1one3_Racing]

Until you put them both on the dyno

[@wavyheat305]

@@1one3_Racingthen what happens?

[@1one3_Racing]

@wavyheat305 in my experience, and I've seen a few dyno runs on the BC, they tend to be quite crashy on high speed impact but soft when loaded up. So you'll get initial firm when turning into a corner but no mid corner stability and a really rough straight line drive. Plus they like to cavitation quite a bit. The Tein being entry level aren't much better, but they do dyno better. They're more a fast road coilover whereas the BC try to be a fast road/entry level track. Plus from what I've seen of 2 and 3 year old BC, they don't gold up very well

I bought some Tein Flex Z's and haven't installed them yet but hearing I can lower it up to 3" or 5" makes me happy

[@nefariousracing]

Yeah it depends on the model but definitely shouldn't have any issues relating to going low with them.

[@qwertyui5086]

Make sure it's low enough to scrape the bitumen.

[@matsudakodo]

Get them installed yet?

[@xxCablexx]

@@matsudakodo I have and they are amazing, but only about 1 and 1/2 inches for now, I got some wide width wheels like 8 inches so I will go lower after I install my camber kit, goal is to get them nice and tucked 😁

THIS IS THE VIDEO IVE BEEN LOOKING For! Thank you buddy

[@nefariousracing]

You're welcome my friend

[@SLiveForTheMoment]

Would you recommend tein for 06 Sentra b15 ?

[@kevinmazara9342]

hey brother I have a 2020 Honda Accord Sport, which are the best coilovers for daily street driving? and that the car doesn't jump much?

[@juhapeura9123]

Which is more sustainable in the long run? I mainly think about street driving. There are also some variations in the weather in Finland, so I would be interested in that as well. Thx.

[@niccolowalrond6189]

Another point to add to the Tein Flex Z, there digressive piston dampers as well.

[@nefariousracing]

Where did you get that information from? On TEIN's website it says linear.

[@niccolowalrond6189]

@@nefariousracing The manual that came with my Tein Flex Z. In the manual it has a shock dyno graph of the coilovers and it shows a digressive piston graph.

Thanks so much! I'm sold on the Flex Zs

[@nefariousracing]

You're welcome!

[@securerjeje6045]

Hi, I wanted to know, is 3 inches the closest it will be to the original height? I mean the teins. I want to lower the car a little but I need it to be able to be raised at least 1, 1 and 1/2 inches from the original. I have a Civic EJ8 and I can't find information on the maximum height of the Teinflexz or I find different answers.

[@nefariousracing]

On TEIN's website they show you exactly how high/low each model of coilover goes for each car. However, it sounds like you are asking for them to raise the car above stock, which pretty much no coilover does (except offroad/rally kits).

[@MathuCampbell]

I have a 2010 ISF, currently on shot RSR-Sports I, do not track car just street spirited driving on highways. Mostly class B roads and C where I live. Looking for comfort and performance but more comfort for daily. Which would you recommend? Really wanted hks but the customs duties on my country would make it Ohlins level of cost.

[@nefariousracing]

Honestly TEIN Flex Zs will probably be more than good enough.

[@tallprince808]

I would love to go with BC but my odyssey rb3 has teins and EDFC already installed

[@nefariousracing]

Nothing wrong with TEIN's especially for street use.

[@bryanlarrea2867]

Probably would be a useless "upgrade" going from tein to bc. A real upgrade would be going from tein flex z's to öhlins road and track's

[@davidsfishdomain-d.f.d990]

Been trying to decide on either BC coilovers or Tein Flex Z for my 2010 is250 just for my daily. Any ideas what I should go for? I just want my car to be lowered and have a comfortable drive.

[@nefariousracing]

TEIN Flex Z.

[@fnwokke]

TEIN Flex Z ! I have tried both BC BR and TEIN FLEX Z, winner for comfort with great also performance are TEIN !!

[@dukemaui91]

What do you recommend for street/drag. I live in Massachusetts and the roads are horrible. I will be doing some daily and drag.

[@nefariousracing]

Feals set up for drag are probably your best bet, speak to them about the ideal setup for your car. If you are taking drags seriously and the car is RWD, you'll want softer rears so it can put the power down.

[@linagn8781]

what would you reccommend for mostly street use?

[@nefariousracing]

TEIN Flex Z for more comfort but both will do the job fine.

[@matsudakodo]

I looked into the EDFC and you can hear the motors working inside the car. The EDFC5 is much quieter but then it's a $1000 kit.

[@tallprince808]

i have it on my odyssey rb3 and i have it set so when im driving faster it adjust, but depending how i set it to adjust you do hear it adjust alot and it cant get annoying,

[@matsudakodo]

@@tallprince808 thanks for the feedback.

[@alyxms5826]

Rebuildable ? Yeah I’m sold

[@Gibran1517]

You didn’t mention color! The BC racing look a lot cooler and I almost got them because of the color but went with Tein for my s13.

[@alyxms5826]

Facts 😂 they look beautiful

[@djsthemetereman]

Just spoke with someone today & he had a completely slammed Lexus IS & he was running bc coilovers which said have a great ride

[@nefariousracing]

They are one of the most popular kits for a reason.

[@djsthemetereman]

@@nefariousracing Definitely

Anybody know when I can get the flex z for Audi s5?

@@tallprince808 thank you

[@Ricer-b4n]

Great info!!!

[@BboyMobster]

I have tein flex z on my civic and they are the loudest and most clunky coilovers I’ve ever had. Never again. I barely have 25k miles on them.

[@nefariousracing]

You sure it's the coilovers?

[@BboyMobster]

@@nefariousracing I haven’t had the sound until I installed them. Idk what else it could be. Squeak noise in the left then a clunk when turning in the right rear.

[@nefariousracing]

@@BboyMobster Possibly springs binding or a bearing is busted. Sway bar links are also another common cause of clunks if your car has them. Were they brand new?

[@BboyMobster]

@@nefariousracing yessir. Brand new.
