You're totally right. The previous owner installed them on the wrong side and I just installed the new ones the same way because I didn't double check. I think it's probably fine but I'm gonna swap them anyway

how did this turn out? @@NickSabella
Thank you for your very professional review. For the soft problem of springs, you can find us to customize 10KG springs.
Thank you and honest review
That some beautiful mini there
cool install video. I moved from cali to michigan. I used silicone and wd-40 on my most recent install.
I am seeing people comparing R56 to Honda’s which are completely different vehicles. Reading comments saying these suck BC SUCK BLAH BLAH BLAH, maybe they are adjusted wrong or they are more like a universal fit like DC EG which are not the same car. Thank you for the honest review of these coilovers
I've the same problem with that tab this is not an isolated issue 😊
Have the same ones for my 06 R53 and these are the best purchased item i could have made. Rides smooths ASF the bottom didn't come lose on mines lol that just goes to show you ever car owner drives differently...I'm lmao at people saying they are garbage..I've had mines over a year daily driving on them as well lol

as much as i want a liberty kit i cant spend 6k on one , good video and will be using thhe code.
Great Video, been looking for coilovers for my R53. Do you know of any that don't require disassembly if you want to readjust the ride height again. Thanks

Did you get sorted? My Stance+ are completely rusty and one spring snapped after just two years. Looking for something better
I have the same ones for my r50 chili red, tryna find out how to install them.
Man where can I get some headlights like that.
Had the same issue with the rear bracket just cut and re welded them in the correct spot and haven’t had any issues since

Bought these for my R53, silly set up on the rear. The damping adjustment is on the top, so need to remove them to make adjustments, Plus no tabs on the front for the pinch bolt. Also after a few k's of driving the rear right is knocking at the top so will need to strip them out and see.

Same thing happened to me. The top nut came loose. Tightened it back up and haven’t had a problem since. I agree with having to remove them to adjust dampening is silly.

I can literately hear them bottoming out over bumps in the video. Complete trash. I've been in cars with them installed, and just laughed at how awful they were. Once you buy premium brand coilovers (no, not that BC Racing junk either), you'll never go back to subpar componets again. Highly suggest spending the money for FortuneAutos, RS*R, Ohlins, etc. I ran a supper stiff chassis EG civic on Fortune Autos, and was comfortable enough to daily drive, and handled insanely well. Much better than the trash BC Racing coilovers that came with the car. Most of whats popular, is only popular because of price. BC/D2/KSport/Meagan/Etc are all pretty much manufactured in the same place. You're just buying a color scheme and sticker. Maxpeeding is just trying to be the next Raceland, but at least Raceland's don't have to BE CUT TO WORK. I can understand the more positive review, more so because they were free for you. But sometimes, you need to take off the rose colored glasses and just be real.

The fenders in this car aren't cut under the flares, so the tires hit the stock rear quarters before the coilovers would bottom out which wasn't even happening in this video. I think what you're hearing is my rattling rear sway bar. (The bushings need to be replaced). As far as recommending the more expensive coilovers, I also recommend more expensive coilovers to anyone who can afford them. I was pretty much just comparing these to racelands, and I think I clearly stated the pros and cons to both. You're right about these needing to be cut to fit. That was a pretty big red flag for me, but when I contacted them about it, they did send me new lowers that fit without modification. I made sure to clearly document my entire experience with these in my video, so viewers like you can see everything I dealt with and make their own decision on whether its worth it or not.
Saving on suspension is like buying budget condoms. Accidents gonna happen

I bought bc extreme low for my k swapped mr2 spyder and they also had a amazing ride.
