I notice that you mentioned two sets of coilovers in your first post, one for you and one for a freind? We only have you down for one, I want to check theres not been a mistake
Bren - the other set was for Boyakasha so we added his details in as the second on the list as he is paying for them himself, he wanted me to order both sets as he thought I might get better discount for setting up the GB......................................
The rear top mounts give a more solid mounting point than rubber but they can transmit a little noise. Its not a given but they can rattle lightly on rare occasions. The pillowball also allow camber adjustment which is useful but not necessary as you can just go for some rear camber bolts instead.
Id go with 6/5s.[/quote]
ok how low can this set up get me and will i be able to adjust the ride hight? also how much will this kit cost me?
Ride height is adjustable. The kit will lower the car so far that it would be virtually undrivable on the road if you wanted it that low. No one has ever complained that they cant lower their car on a normal BC racing coilover kit.
I copied the link to the post below, something the matter with Scoobynet methinks. Never mind, heres the long version!

As youre all no doubt well aware these coilovers offer fantastic value for money even at retail, you wouldnt be interested in them in the first instance if they didnt. However I will do what I can
The last GB offered 15% discount, no more. What I will do is offer 20% for this buy if we get 11+ takers but the kits will not automatically come with adjuster extenders and rose jointed camber adjustable rear top mounts. Many people dont need the extenders or camber mounts so its fairer to offer them a greater saving instead and make the upgrades optional. The discount will also apply to the extenders and camber top mount upgrade.
The kits
The kits retail at £649 for BR Series, £849 for RM Series (inverted) and £1175 for ER Series (2 way damping adjustable external reservoir). Adjuster extenders are £24.50 and camber adjustable rear top mount upgrade is £60. All these prices are retail, discounted prices are below.
More info on the specifics of each coilover type can be found here:
With 20% discount the kits come in at the following, all prices include vat:
BR Series £519.20
RM Series £679.20
ER Series £940
Adjuster extenders £19.60 (cant be used on RM Series)
Camber adjustable rear top mount upgrade £48
Carriage to a Uk address is £17.63. Ask for international carriage charges, we are very competitive on international deliveries and have a very large Europe wide customer base.
Picking the right kit to meet your needs
You can fully customise the kit to meets your needs. Below are suggested spring rates:
Standard WRX ride quality: GC8 = 4/3, New Age 5/4. We can also do 4/3 for New Age if you want ultra comfy (all relative, its still not going to be like a boat). 4/3 feature the softest damping of all with a longer stroke to accomodate the extra travel the softer set up allows.
Fast road with some track work (default road going spec, eets most peoples needs): GC8 5/4, New Age 6/5
Harder core fast road with track work using stickier track rubber: GC8 6/5, New Age 6/5
More track focused cars or really hardcore road car driven only on smooth roads: GC8 8/6, New Age 8/6
If you want anything outside the above then no problem. Want above standard ride height dirt spec with assister springs and ultra long travel to dial in a load of droop for your rally car, no problem. You want ultra low short stroke with a really stiff spring and damper set up to run wings and slicks, no problem. You tell us what you want, we will build it.
When will the kits be here?
I will place the order Friday 24th April. There will be around an 8 week lead time from time of ordering. I will order some spare kits over and above the specific orders placed but if you want something specific then you need to get in touch before the orders placed with the factory. Obviously whats left will be a litte pot luck, I will order a small spread of extras but theres no guarentee Ill have what you require so best to get in touch before Friday 24th so we can definately meet your requirements.
How do I get involved?
Just give us a ring to confirm your order. 01274 683633 NO BODY WILL BE CONSDERED CONFIRMED UNTIL THE PHYSICAL ORDER HAS BEEN PLACED. We will take all your details at time of ordering, a proforma will be generated and we will take card payment details. The payment will not be taken until 1 week before the boat is due to dock. Payment will be taken without further notice being given unless you specifically request us to do so.
We will NOT require deposits unless the order is for something really specialised in which case we will require 25% up front. By specialised Im talking something really different from the mainstream so either a really high or low set up with custom dampers etc.
I think that covers everything. So, to sum up:
11+ orders required
20% discount
Damper extenders and camber rear top mounts optional
Orders to be with us by Friday 24th April
Kits due end of June.
Bren, I've stated my spec incorrectly. Thought it was GDB but the VIN number tells me I have a GDF chassis. It's a MY06 hawkeye STI. Is it a problem to amend?
I forgot to ask, bit late now I know I assuming whoever I ask to install the kit, will just be able to do a straight swap with my standard struts right?

Yes but they will need to set ride height.

1. WUZ - MY06 GDF (Hawkeye) STi BR 6/5 with extenders
2. Boyakasha - MY07 GDF (Hawkeye) STI BR 6/5 with extenders
Just to note the other 2 newages from Aberdeen are still down as GDBs
13. Aberdeen Al - MY06 GDB (Hawkeye) STi 5/4 c/w Extenders
19. Ali37 - GDB (MY05 STI) BR 6/5 with extenders
Ive come down with tonsilitis overnight so Im not in work today (working from home) but will double check that theyre down for GDF tommorrow. If they gave the year of their car and stated they were STi then they will be down for the correct kit but Ill double check
