This might help put it into perspective a little.

DMS vs MCA thread from Brindabella Forum.

Cheers for pointing that out, I'll have to check out the DMS for the crack (they are only used on asphalt).

From what I read in that thread the issue was people using the 40mm for rally when it wasn't meant to be used for rally; with no one using 50mm (or 60mm) having the crack.

Racing Logic are slightly better, but if you can't afford a 'real' set of coilovers just get some decent slightly lower springs and an adjustable shock.

Other alternatives are buying a sleeve kit and a new set of struts to make up a custom set, ends up being comparable to the cheaper coilovers and actually works quite well.

Yes, I think that is the main cause of the problems, but then again, if the foot of a standard Bilstein or Koni can withstand rallying, why can't a 40mm DMS shock?

Are the 40mm ones still an inverted design?

For what 99% of people on here do a quality strut and spring is all that is required; and comes in around the same price as the cheap coilovers with much better quality.

I find it just as interesting as to why the 50mm doesn't do it while the 40mm does; surely they don't use a different construction method for either? Maybe a different supplier?

The DMS on the Celica were shelf stock so they might be a few years old; either way it is inverted.

I read that K-Sport are made from the same factory as D2.. so they should be no more than what a set of D2's cost..

Yeap, that's the word thats going around. Just different colour finishes. They all come out of the same factory in Taiwan I think.

So its coming to 6 months since installing the BC coilovers. Checked them out while installing my brake lines today. No problems so far. Great for daily driving. Have the setting on soft, since having rims with low profile tyres make it uncomfortable for medium settings. Pretty happy with them.

Hey all, just thought i'd jump in here to give my experinces with sum coilovers.

Friend has BC coils on an S13, drives it like stink. track days, the gorge (NSW)... he gives them a big thumbs up, nothing bad so far

Another friend has Bilistein on an E39 530i M, like the S13, drives the rings off it....no bad comments from him

Brother has Cusco ZERO 3 X on his 33 GTR, doesn't drive it as hard, but no bad reviews lol, as u'd expect.

I guess its up to you guys at the end of the day with ur budget. Im looking to get K-sports so we'll see how that goes

Unless they have all tried various setups on the same car and have lap time data showing which is better, of course they will like what they have.

It's all relative. Everything is good, until you try something better.

For 90% of the weekend racers, products like BC's and K Sports will probably be fine. It's only when you make the move to the next level up in suspension that you realise their weak points.

Just in case any ZRE owners looks at this thread in future.

For Aussie spec ZRE, there are no BC Coilovers in BR Series, just in V1 series. :)

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
