The coilovers in COR BLMY's post are NOT BC V1's.

V1's have 32 levels of damping have 44mm pistons and so on.
V1's are and older model that BC cleared out a while ago.
Did yo see them on ebay?

oops, sorry I cut mysel off
The V1's look to be good for the cash.
I'm not 100% sure but I think you can put them on a convertible.
If you put them on be sure to keep us updated of fitment (convertible)
and your thoughts on quality.
Good luck

Coilovers

Yes, I did see them on E-bay and I got them. The price was really good, but sometimes you get what you pay for. I'll keep you guys posted and let you know if it works out.

BC V1 coilovers installed

I got the coilovers installed on Friday, I had Bay Bridge Motors in Oakland, Ca.They did an outstanding job installing them, they fit perfect with no real modification to the car. The ride is pretty good but I have not driven that much yet to really evaluate them. I was told to take it easy for a couple hundred miles and bring the car back to check the fastners on the coilovers. [/IMG]

The BC V1 coilovers are the same as Megans.
The BC BR coilovers are the updated/dearer/better model.
