Default BC GC8 inverted coilovers, used for 9 months

SOLD

Ready to buy now, without the long lead-time of the group buy!

BC RM series (inverted) coilovers for classic (GC8), have been used for 9 months, about 6k miles. Fitted with 5/4 springs which are stated by Bren of Apex as suitable for "Fast road with some track work (default road going spec, meets most peoples needs)".

Still fitted to the car, can be demonstrated until Sunday (19th), just south of Cambridge.

SOLD

Andy

I can post you a pic of the car they're fitted to, if you like

They clean up well, all threads and adjusters are mint.

Test rides available over the next couple of days - think about it, you don't get that service with the group buy Come on Sunday and you can take them away the same day.

the inverted setup helps deal with unsprung weight by moving the gas resevoir away from the hub...and as we know unsprung weight is vital to an AWD or RW drive motor

Good luck with the sale, i would of snapped your hand off if work wasnt so bad!

Inverted also helps with keeping the damping oil cool, further away from the heat of the brakes, giving more consistent damping.

Have got some Ohlins dampers which I want to try, hence reason for selling.
