I think the BR's are the newer updated model

correct

Any idea if the BR have had any improvments over the V1?
Also interested on the best price yal have managed to score on the BR's.

V1 Series
STREET
Pillowball upper mount
Camber adjustable top mounts
Aluminium top plates
30 way adjustable damping
Adjustable spring platform
Height adjustment via bottom mount to retain full damper travel
Dust boot to protect damper seals
One year warranty
Rebuildable

BR Series Street and Circuit Coilover
STREET / TRACK
Mono-tube shock design
30 levels of damping force adjustment, adjust compression/rebound
Pillowball mounts and adjustable camber plates included (where applicable)
Adjustable rear camber plates available
Separate full length height adjustable
One year warranty
Rebuildable

Monotube design seems to be biggest key - which means more consistent damping over prolonged use = better.
Referring to Bilstein, but still regarding monotube advantage:

Heat is one of the major detriments to the performance and longevity of any shock absorber. Conventional
twin tube designed shocks trap the heat within the shock body and do not let it adequately dissipate,
making them prone to heat build-up, fade and eventual failure.

By contrast, BILSTEIN’s technically superior, monotube high gas pressure charged design allows the
excessive heat from the oil to transfer to the outer surface of the shock body and dissipate more efficiently.
The dividing piston also permits the oil to expand as heat builds, preventing aeration (foaming) and
viscosity loss. This allows the shock to maintain full damping characteristics as temperatures rise.

$1299 off Ebay in courier. (JustJap is the seller)

Also ring OTR Motorsport in Clayton. They did mine for good price, while you r there you could also get a nice set of Rays rims to match those coilovers.... Mmmm

Do you think V1 would be better option just for the lowering and handling? As The BC BR is more a track coilover and I don't do track

For the price stick with the BC BR as it gives you more options, you won't be sorry.
