BC Coilover Group Buy?

[ihiryu 6]

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!!!!

Possible.... Price and spring rate choice is a factor.. Extended studs too. What are your rates at standard purchase?

[tim.d 2]

I'd be interested as well

[ihiryu 6]

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]

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!

[trackzpeed 8]

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

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.  

[LLave 15]

I may be interested, depending on how the details shake out. 

[ihiryu 6]

If everyone agrees with the above part number, I can figure out the pricing scale.

[trackzpeed 8]

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

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"

[ihiryu 6]

Nothing on DR's.  I just checked 

[Ereschkigal 0]

As I remember 49 or 94 is for the 240-260z or the 260-280z

[ihiryu 6]

49 1975+

94 1974 and below

[trackzpeed 8]

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

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 

[ihiryu 6]

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

I'm in if we can get the better performing product for cheaper haha I'll wait for the details.

[trackzpeed 8]

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

[tim.d 2]

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

[ihiryu 6]

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.

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.

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.

^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.

I could do it, but I need guys to commit
