Afternoon All,

just thought i would put up some pictures of what you get if you purchase BC coilovers.

Nissan Leaf 2WD ZE0 10+ - Nissan Coilovers - Applications | BC Racing Coilovers

i bought mine through DC performance as they had a sale on and saved 90 odd quid on the list price.

Box contents :-

rears fitted:-

i dint get any pictures of the fronts fitted but they were a straight swap with the standard factory items..

this is them set on as low as they go without messing around removing spring platforms ect...

i have been driving with them on the softest setting and to be honest the car feels no stiffer than standard. you can wind them up and make the ride firmer but i chose to leave them comfy.

Anyway though it might be informative if people are planning on lowering their car in the future.

That does look quite nice.

Have you tackled any speed bumps yet? That'd be my problem round where I drive.

I bet your range has gone up now.... Now with there being less air flow under the car...

plenty of speed bumps near me just have to be careful :) the front lip catches on some but only if you charge at them like a lune..

i haven't had chance to do a decent range test the wheels are allot lighter than stock as well! the normal tekna wheels weight a metric fuck ton

Hi car looks great! I just ordered a set off the same coilovers and have some questions. Is the front top mount adjustable? I bought mine direct from Bc-Racing. what size specs are your tire and rims?

best regards from norway:)

Thanks for you're reply! I will run the stock Dunlop Tekna tires in 215-50-17" I bought some rims from the UK Fyk ed3 front 8,5-17" rear 10-17" et20. Had to roll the fenders at the rear. The car is lowerd on Tein springs on the picture as you can see still to mutch gap around the arches. Hope to rektifie this with the bc racing coils cheers.

I have had to roll my rear arches. I have a feeling you will get some rubbing with the wheel and tyre combo you have. If you go any lower:/

Car looks fantastic! Do you have any more mods planned?

Side note... Would be hilarious to see this with 4 chrome 3" exhaust tips - anyone any good with photoshop?!?

Ordered. New rims and tires today as I want to slamm it. I've have rolled the fender but still no go. Really dondt want to destroy the fenderlip whit rolling it to mutch. So I've settled on some 8,5x20" et42 and some 225/30/20 tires. Did try to go the safe route this time at least. Now I can fine tune the fitment whit some spacers:) Cheers
