Yeah, they're one of the ones That Nathan linked on your other thread. But there is a difference between the two types remember?

53mm diameter damper body:

50mm diameter damper body:

On your other thread;

@CrunchyAdams82: "@NafemanNathan, I notice that between the two BC links you provided, the only difference (that I can see) is 50mm or 53mm diameter damper body's.

Can you pardon my ignorance and please explain to me what the fundamental, noticeable differences between the two would be?

Is it just that the 53's will be a bit stiffer?

Thanks."

@RattyMcClelland: "Bigger dampening body will offer more control, better heat ability and soft ride at the same setting."

So it looks like the extra £20 is for that tbh. Nice to have options though..

The first link isn't titled correctly according to BC Racing, so there's a chance (And it's probable) the actual listing is wrong as well Andy.

Yes, but, if it's listed for the gen3, it has to be V1's right? And I assume they wouldn't have listed something that they don't actually have. More likely, they just got the product description wrong. What do you think?

Well in my experience a lot of these companies use the previous listing (for another car) as a template for the new listing, but sometimes they forget to make particular amendments (ie. the body diameter), if that makes sense?

Yes, that makes sense. I should message them really, but i think I've decided on the K-Sports now tbh.

Having said that; both ads do actually say V1 in the title...

Basically, for ANY 3rd gen, there is only the v1 option that has the 50mm diameter. That's the only one there is.

You don't get a choice crunchy, the extra £20 is just the price difference between two identical items from two different sellers, one of which has the wrong picture and description. Fecking stupid and confusing of them if you ask me

Cheers for the rep

@fefelarue & @CrunchyAdams82 Just a thought, but when are you guys looking to purchase your coilovers? If we did all decide to go for BC's we might be able to get 3 sets at the same time for a slightly better price

I know @Scott@H-Tune deals with BC as well, and we all know how he loves a group buy!
