Who has experience with BC racing coilovers?

My 2004 mustang has stock struts/shocks and springs. I plan on using the car for general track duty, haven't decided on a specific event yet so I'm looking for a a decent general suspension setup to get started. I can get BC coilovers for a very reasonable price in Canada. The rep recommended using the standard springs unless I specificly have a favourite spring rate, which at this point I don't.

What will I need besides the coilover kit?
Do they come with useful camber/caster plates?
Maximum motorsports rear mount?

alex302 slow90coupe I think you guys used BC

I think the only complaint I've seen is that they're not as good as something like KW that cost significantly more. Most people seem pretty happy with them.

my dad has them on his s197. They are ok for the money. They are decent for the track, but are more of a street setup. The spring rate will probably be on the mid 200s at the most. Everyone (who races) recommends going with the eibach or hypercoil springs because they are better quality. Their dampening is decent too. My dad is older, and we have his on full stiff and he has no complaints about it. But he complains about mine.

The only thing with them is the rear is not a true coilover. so if you plan on running tubular rear control arms, youll need to invest in a true coilover.

Already have rear control arms, many of spring peaches still.
I was under the impression that the sn95 were true coilovers... if they're not that's lame.

Guess I'll go back to the MM shocks/struts plan so I can eventually swap them to coilovers down the road.

Every website I looked at doesn't look like true coilovers. I know for a fact my dad's are not.

Every website I looked at showed true front and back. I hate how they use stock photos and can't show the actual product.

Found a photo from alex and yeah they're not true rears.
Looking at KW and they don't even make a true rear coilover... So only the custom coilovers like MM, steeda, upr and strange are the only true coilover setups?
Guess I'll ask my MM dealer what they'd recommend since MM won't answer my emails. It's just so expensive to get MM up here.

There's other options too. Like feal. But I've heard they overheat for time attack. Idk to much about it but a member on the forum works for them.

Unless you plan on hard track time they should be fine.

Good quality for the money. I like mine.

Since it's go into be a track car IMO a set of Koni/Bilsteins and MM coilovers would be the best/most reliable option. Koni and Bilstein have lifetime warranties and if needed can be rebuilt relatively easily. And MM always stands behind their parts. Just my 0.02

That the plan. Going with bilstien race dampers and MM springs for now, then covert to coils down the road.

Thanks but I won't save any by the time they get here. Local dealer can get them cheaper.
