Just some picks of the fitment of my new BC Racing BR coilovers
There is no need for spacers for the tyres as there was no tyre rubbing

Hi, would you be able to give us a review of these? I mean more of a long term (3-4months) I was considering buying these but was worried about there service life.
 
Thank you

Any issues with fitment? Everything line up?
How is the ride?

Hi Guys The fitment was dead easy one of the easiest we've done. It does help when you have use of a hoist. Everything lined up perfectly even the ride height was pre-set to standard. The only complaint was that they didn't supply camber bolts even though they have elongated holes for bottom camber adjustment. They did come with new stabiliser link bars for the front as the factory one is too long. I’ll give an update on road and track over the next 3 -4 months.

What are the specs of the front wheels and tyres are you running?
 
 
edit: Widest I can run is a 215, and unfortunately the tyres look a bit stretched compared to yours.

The rims there are 17" and the tyres are kumo’s 205 x 40 on the front and 225 x 40 on the back these are the road rides. The race rims are 15" with Toyo Proxes R888 205 front and 225 on the back

What offset are your front wheels and how much room is there between the wheel/tyre and the coilovers?
 
Also, does anyone know if the inverted BC coilovers use a larger diameter strut body and/or spring than the standard ones? I'm thinking of getting those but I'm running R32 gtr wheels up front with 215/45 and I'm not sure if they clear the suspension.

Your offset will be fine Adrian. GTR's have a larger offset than Toyota. Pretty sure they run -25mm, mine are GTST which are -38mm with no clearance issues. The springs are all the same diameter but different lengths to suit different applications so you will not have a problem there.

Yeah the gtr wheels stick out further than gtst ones but they're also 2 inches wider (8 inch) so they protrude further towards the suspension as well. I've only got a finger space between the rims and the standard shocks at the moment so if the BC's are much larger than stock there may be problems. But like you've told me before I may be able to get away with it by running more camber to pull the shocks in a bit. 
 
Guess I'll just have to take a punt. If it works, good. If not, it'll be a good excuse to get new wheels.
