You sure they are for the s12 is direct bolt on or do you have to go with the s13 suspension stuff if you have to upgrade to s13 then its not for.our cars....

Are these the only set?

s13 front swap is still required.  From my research they are alright, possibly better then megans so far.  but any s13 setup is alot better then the stock setup, even the s12 weld on solution might be even better.

Any coilover set you can fit for the s12 as long as you have the pieces to for the s13, just the rears need to remove the perches + springs and custom the perches, easier to get eibach + perches for the springs and use the rear coilovers shocks instead.

Ugh you guys never search, or for those who've been here for awhile, you forget shit.

Bor-Chuann (BC-racing) is the company who makes Megan's coilovers. Megan doesn't make anything of their own. If anything, the BR series is superior to what BC makes and rebrands for Megan. It has more adjustability and usually more precise valving. As someone else said here, you MUST convert to S13 front spindle/knuckle assemblies. But these are a good product and worth the conversion. I have BC coilovers on my 2nd gen Neon and they are amazing. They are also rebuildable although you would need to contact BC to find out how to go about that (they have an office in North America, so I imagine there are offices in Europe as well).

Fellas! This has been covered over and over! Why does Arro have to keep policing this type of half assery?  I've even been flamed for this one about 3 years Ago! That's what stickies are for.  Noobs should lurk for awhile then post. JMO if any key even cares.

Don't hate the hater, hate the game... Sorry, I couldn't resist.  I'm just sayin. Use the search function. It does work.

no doubt. gotchu homie.

ArroMay 28, 2013, 4:02 pm · #15

It's not that there are "haters" on here... it's that a number of us get tired of lazy folks or folks who just don't read what people have posted. You're way too new to come in and assume we're haters just because you got called out. I've been on enough forums to see real haters and real flame wars over stupid shit, with name calling and legit insults. Did you see that here in this thread? Nope. So consider this me stomping out that fire.

AND... even after what I posted, you STILL didn't get it. MEGANS ARE BC'S. PERIOD. You say "obviously a better pick than Megans", you see where you didn't read what I said in Post #6 right here? So what's worse, me getting tough on people who don't search, or, you not even bothering to pay attention when I give you the facts RIGHT HERE?

So forgive me if I get a bit frustrated with that kinda disrespect.

Now, for anyone else who reads this when they are searching for info, MEGAN IS BC. BC IS MEGAN. There are different trims but for OUR CARS we are forced to use S13 specs. Which was discovered YEARS ago and has at least two stickied posts describing this in the HANDLING tech section.

Jeezus.

Well said Arro...well said.

ArroMay 28, 2013, 7:41 pm · #17

One tiny "amendment"... if you don't tell Megan/BC you have an S12, you won't get the special S12-specific rubber molded bumps that were specifically designed for S12 rear suspension to better seat the S13 kit.
