I'm quite tempted by the BCs...I don't think Gaz have released their coilovers onto the market yet

I recently got BCs and I think they're great. They remain comfortable even when quite stiff and give so much confidence around corners that driving the S is so much more enjoyable. And for £600 there's money left over for the geo and a selection of large cakes.

Hmmm...just looked at the Megans...12kg front/rear would probably play havoc with my spine

Off topic i know but......

Aren't the BCs 10Kgs front and 12Kgs rear? Thats something that always put me off them. I just cant understand why a 50/50 car needs heavier springs at the back!? On the front yes i could understand the handling aspect there.... but back?

I thought that too.. But I think it is the optimal setting to keep the rear end nice and progressive according to spoon/mugen? I'll try and dig out the link...

oh and, another vote for the BCs if on a budget.. now that I have had the excessive rear toe sorted, they are amazing!
