@ConeKiller Are GC making pillow-ball camber plates that match the Billies? They sent me a urethane bushing version that would never torque properly. You can hold everything still and measure out 44ft-lb torque, the strut shaft will still back out causing my Konis to snap after 1000mi, and same...

They support putting together a custom setup over buying an OTS quality kit. Whether you piece the kit together from Bilstein/Koni or BC components, the numbers would suggest you do it based on your own preference (assuming you believe in the quality of a rebuilt, revalved BC). I don't side...

Let me edit my post to clarify some things. Still, Bilstein Motorsports told me on the phone that the OTS PSS9 kit can't be sold with modified valving. Maybe it's just wording. I'm not aware of Koni Race struts for the 3 platform, got a link? @ConeKiller the "window" I'm referring to is the...

@ConeKiller I'm happy to edit my post if proven incorrect, but I called both Bilstein and KW in the past and was shot down on the spot. I and several other track-car 3's have used GC kits with OTS Koni Yellows, so that's a fair place to start the comparison. From what I know, most people are...

If I can add to this, BC Racing (from my many phone conversations with them) is fairly open about the fact that their valving is not perfect and are willing to do shock dynos on a set of coilovers upon request. A curious man on the NASIOC forums made such a request and got some shock dynos of...
