The coilovers in question are BC Racing coilovers.

I found different answers to the general question of "Would R56 coilovers fit R53", so I am thinking maybe it depends on the coilover. Hence, I'm wondering if R56 BC Racing coilover would fit to R53.

thanks!

 

The included front camber plates won't fit

 

Why not just get them for the r53. It's the same price and the will come with the correct mounts

 

Same shocks/springs, different front camber plates:

If you want or already bought higher quality camber plates, then this difference is moot.
