ihiryu 6 Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) I just became a direct dealer to BC! I wanted to see if people were down for a group buy. Prices would obviously fall for how many orders I can place. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY! 08/05/2017 1% OF PROFITS WILL GO DIRECTLY TO KEEPING HYBRIDZ UP AND RUNNING!!!! Edited August 5, 2017 by ihiryu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trackzpeed 8 Posted August 20, 2016 Possible.... Price and spring rate choice is a factor.. Extended studs too. What are your rates at standard purchase? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tim.d 2 Posted August 20, 2016 I'd be interested as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ihiryu 6 Posted August 21, 2016 As of right now, prices are set at retail. I put this out as a feeler to kinda see what the Datsun Community wants. And i'm going to try my best to tailor to what you guys need. What is the cheapest place you've found the coilovers for? I'll see how many units i have to sell to beat that price.

tim.d 2 Posted August 21, 2016 I was holding out until late November to see if they came up on a Black Friday sale, but if you're able to get a group buy I have no problem supporting you again! Very happy with my speedhuts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trackzpeed 8 Posted August 21, 2016 Jpn garage lists at $1195 shipped with 3 or 4 bolt camber plates, optional swift springs, longer studs for strut bars, and a selection of spring rates, with regular and extreme low kits. By the way, I was very pleased with my speedhut purchase from you..... And will gladly do business with you again. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ihiryu 6 Posted August 22, 2016 So the item we're looking at is P/N D-49-BR http://www.bcracing-na.com/br-type/ For the Datsun Application, it does have front and rear camber adjustment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LLave 15 Posted August 22, 2016 I may be interested, depending on how the details shake out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ihiryu 6 Posted August 22, 2016 If everyone agrees with the above part number, I can figure out the pricing scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trackzpeed 8 Posted August 23, 2016 Not to throw a wrench in the gears.... but they have them in the DR series too.... I understand that's a much better strut for high performance driving applications. SKU: D-94-DR-BC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the # for the Z was 94, not 49? I'd be interested in a 4bolt extended stud option. I'd be interested if the DR's ever came to fruition. Last I inquired about them they were "in development" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ihiryu 6 Posted August 23, 2016 Nothing on DR's. I just checked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ereschkigal 0 Posted August 23, 2016 As I remember 49 or 94 is for the 240-260z or the 260-280z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ihiryu 6 Posted August 23, 2016 49 1975+ 94 1974 and below Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trackzpeed 8 Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Sorry for the confusion. When I went to the BC site it was listed for the 240 under that number at 1500.00 for the DR's DR Series Coilover Datsun 240Z (1969-1974) Chassis Code: S30 Please allow 2-3 weeks for Delivery In Stock Items Ship Same Day! Select Springs: Front Camber Plate: Rear Camber Plate: Price: $1,500.00 Ship Pick Up At BC Racing North America Pickup Location Info - + SKU: D-94-DR-BC Front Spring: 4kg Rear Spring: 5kg Camber: Front Standard/Rear Standard Edited August 24, 2016 by trackzpeed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trackzpeed 8 Posted August 24, 2016 I emailed BC directly.... According to Scott Clifford in sales at BC the DR kit is available for both the 240 and 280Z but the DR is a special order and takes 3 weeks lead time to ship. Good news IMO... That's the route I would prefer to go if I change to coilovers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ihiryu 6 Posted August 24, 2016 Okay, so I looked into it as well, and they are special order, so they don't show up on my P/N search for the vendors, because it's not a coilover they offer. It's more of a custom coilover setup. So if I can get a head count on what the D-94-DR-BC or people who want the regular D-49-BR then we can start the pricing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madman88 0 Posted August 24, 2016 I'm in if we can get the better performing product for cheaper haha I'll wait for the details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trackzpeed 8 Posted August 24, 2016 assuming my car gets back from the body shop in one piece, and I still have some money in my pocket, I would go with the DR's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tim.d 2 Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Count me for a 240 DR setup (Or BR if there's not enough interest in the DRs) Edited August 24, 2016 by tim.d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ihiryu 6 Posted August 24, 2016 So as of right now we have: 2 DR's 1 BR/DR setup 0 BR Lets generate some more interest! I might be able to mix and match the DR/BR's if we get enough interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaiden_08 0 Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) I would be interested in a group buy purchase, I think. I have been throwing around the idea of BC or T3 coilovers for some time. And I had one shop tell me they could section my struts and weld in ground controls, but the price was way off. I have 0 suspension anything in my car right now, and I only want to spend the money once, and correctly. What are the major differences between DR vs. BR? Sorry for the nube status, just know that I appreciate your help! Also, does the DR come with the extended stud option? I plan on running braces.

JustinOlson 13 Posted September 7, 2016 The DR series coilover uses a digressive piston. That is the only difference I can see from the BR series. Ideally we could get BC to produce the RM series which gets you an inverted strut similar to bilsteins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seattlejester 20 Posted September 7, 2016 ^They would need to mill out slots for adjustment on car, I've always been concerned that would also let in a bunch of debris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
