Suspention question

[CMF_Crazydamn]

Ok well looking at buying coilover but only find these
BC Racing Coilover Suspension Kit - Nissan March
BC V1 design Va ?
Anyone used these ? Are they direct fit ?? Just want to know before pick buy them

Yeah, I have a set in my car. They are stiffer than stock suspension even on the softest setting but I have no complaints about them.
Direct swap... and easy enough to fit.

Alright cool that's all I needed to know
Just wasn't too sure about them

Hi I use the BC V1 too.

here's what I receive

http://micra.org.uk/threads/pollymobiles-rebuild.35251/page-12#post-422090

was direct fit BUT cos it's all fully adjustable it won't be configured out the box for your car (compared to pre-defined fixed suspension kits)

so it's very important to configure the suspensions bumpstop position (to stop tyre striking the arch) and then get it corner balanced.

here's my first corner balance attempt

2nd attempt corner balancing

Sorry, I should have mentioned too that it is an easy swap but as asdame has said they do need to be set up. A little extra time will go a long way towards keeping your car and suspension in good working order.

So I bought the coilover but now I get massive understeer while going round even the slightest corner
Any ideas of what it could be or anything else I have to change/upgrade ?

Thanks

i diy mine by lining up the front and rear wheels, it should be done with tracking gauges really tho
