How to Change Coilovers | BC Racing BR vs DS

[@matsudakodo]

Thanks. There is such a range of opinions on the DS. Some saying they will be rougher on the street, and some saying they will be better. You actually tested it.

[@GasAndWatts]

Thank you! Everyone is different though, so my opinion might be different than others

[@H1GHD3FF]

I just changed to Swift Springs, and they are different. Stiffer feel but soft. Not harsh, but you do feel every bump. I'm planted everywhere with consistency

[@GasAndWatts]

@@H1GHD3FF just perfect, right?

[@H1GHD3FF]

Underrated content! got mine(DS) last February installed it outside(no garage) in the freakin cold but it was worth it and never looked back! Hope you enjoy yours🤘

[@GasAndWatts]

@@Hashira-DD Thank you! I love mine! Such a huge difference from before

[@zeroswings2]

Got some DS myself... have had them almost a year now in a box waiting. will be installing them soon, so I cant wait... also opted for swift springs

[@GasAndWatts]

Nice! You’ll love them

[@gabexvideos7363]

Thank you for the video! From what I understand, it seems that a disgressive damping setup would be better for my situation. I plan to use my car primarily for street driving, with occasional track days. Given the heavy traffic and the numerous potholes in my area, I need a suspension that can handle both conditions. I hope you can read this comment-could you please offer some advice? Thank you again!

Bottom perch should be used to set the bump stop engagement height, and the spring perch should be used to adjust ride height.

[@GasAndWatts]

@@TM-fx5le I believe that is true for coilovers with no adjustable shock body adjustment, unlike these type of coilovers

[@TM-fx5le]

@@GasAndWatts It’s true for all coilovers, regardless of a threaded shock body. If you’ve set your coilovers up using the shock body as a height adjustment then you’ve done it wrong. Not being a douchebag but just trying to pass on some knowledge that took me a lot of experience to understand. Even some lower end coilover manufacturers recommend setting your coilovers up using the shock body, which is extremely misleading. Watch the KZbin film by Annex Suspensions on how to set bump stop height.

[@GasAndWatts]

@@TM-fx5le thanks for letting me know! Will check out annex suspensions. Always want to learn more. That is just what I’ve learned from the things I have read.

[@GasAndWatts]

@@TM-fx5lejust watched it and now I understand what you’re talking about. First, remove spring and adjust bump stop with bottom perch, then adjust upper perch for ride height. Which can cause preload to be out of spring parameter and might need to change spring length. Thanks for letting me know!

[@TM-fx5le]

@@GasAndWatts For sure bro!!

The Queen has been dethroned.

[@Consolethumbs]

i assume the rhd aristo should work with these as well ? looking at getting one of those since they have the GTE variant

[@GasAndWatts]

@@Consolethumbs yup, they should work

[@JMY8965]

What sping rate would you recommend for an ls430 with these DS series?

[@GasAndWatts]

@@JMY8965 depends on your goal

[@JMY8965]

Everyday driver ​@@GasAndWatts

[@GasAndWatts]

@@JMY8965 mild drop or slammed? Do you prefer driving stiff or soft suspension

[@JMY8965]

Mid drop , not too stiff

[@GasAndWatts]

@@JMY8965 probably 12/10 or 14/12

[@damonblalark766]

What’s that caliper setup on the rear?

[@GasAndWatts]

@@damonblalark766 248fab dual caliper kit, should check him out, really good guy

[@Mike-vz8hp]

Will you be selling your BR coils?👀👀

[@GasAndWatts]

Yup, they’re for sale. Can dm me in IG @gasandwatts

[@mathewarteche2083]

will this work for a ls430

[@GasAndWatts]

@@mathewarteche2083 for the concept, yes. The LS is heavier so just have to account for that.
