The picture of what I think is the front assembly has me thinking, just how universal are the core coilover parts between brands? I know springs are mostly all the same diameter, are the dampers the same diameter with the same thread on them? I'm half curious if I could take a pair of those fronts and toss the camber plates and lower mounts off my BC's on them and away I go.

Don’t think I’ll have the car back from the body shop by then. Hoping to get it back before the big white winter rally

These are inverted monotube, so I don’t think they would be compatible with B.C. racing stuff. That being said they’re all made in Taiwan so you never know.
Btw these are about $3500usd so it’s not a good idea to chop these up lol

I've got the RM Type which is inverted monotube as well, though I'd probably buy a second set of uppers and lowers so I'm not sitting there spinning dampers for ages every time I want to swap setups lol. Ones for a Subaru would probably be closer in length/dampening/etc. I'm mostly just thinking out loud but I'm guessing somebody out there must know if the guts are generic.

If you want, I can get some measurements for you. Threaded insert diameter, shock length, thread pitch etc. Just LMK

Insert diameter, shock length and the top mount stud spacing would be most helpful, thanks!

Keep us updated!!! What do you think of the build quality so far? Does it seem like a rebranded BC Racing?
I'm looking for coilovers now, since a good camber plate kit is ~ $500 USD. Need more camber for better turn in.

how long was the first time ever oil change? must be nice when the oil filter is sitting like that. i learned from a b18b1 where the filter was sideways and would always cause a mess after.

If you're keeping the car for a while consider replacing the drain plug with a Fumoto valve.

If you leave the car running while you remove the plug the oil drains out much faster. I can do mine in 5mins.

It's a pretty common practice. You don't leave the engine running the whole time. Just a short duration and shut it off.

He's joking. Don't ever do this. Leave it for a second too long = engine damage.
