Cracked BCBR coilover

Postby wilso_8948 » Wed Jun 19, 2013 5:11 pm

Absolutely devo. Smashed through the biggest mother of all potholes during a storm on the F3 the other week and my RHS front strut has cracked at the top almost fully. Surely my best option would be to replace the single coilover? This happened to anyone? Any suggestions.

This comes after I spent ages repairing dints and cracks in my rim then getting it resprayed.

I HATE CARS

From looking at it the strut has been pushed up and cracked the adjustment plate. Thinking I could possibly have a go at uninstalling it and taking it out to have a look if any other parts have been damaged. Dunno if BC stocks replacement parts or only full units..

Might be worth dropping a line to BC

Give Ben from Ichiban Imports a call. He should be able to help, if not at least point you in the right direction.

Yep, been there :D ( though i drove into a curb lol) anyways i completely broke my bc c/over in 2 :(
All i did was call justjap.com, this was where i bought them originally, and had them send me out one replacement, they were very friendly to deal and i couldn't be happier with their service, it was quick and simple, highly recommend them!!

I was very surprised it broke as i was travelling quite slow when i hit it, it was a steep curb though
