Hey, I'm interested in picking up a set of coilovers for HPDE/track duty. I like the guys at Ballade and would like to support them by getting their coilovers but I have no idea how well they perform beyond their performance on Ballade's own car.

Anyone on S2KI have any feedback on their setup?

Thanks!

Im a bit interested in those also as I'm looking to upgrade my old hipermax to the new sp 4. The only one who tracks them is matt but of course he is going to say good things about them as he is a sponsored driver...

So these are BC Racing coilovers with their pillowball tophats and 16kg/mm Swift springs? I'd like to know what specifically they did to the internals of the shock, and I'd love to see a dyno sheet.

Im sure they are valved to ballades specs, not just revalved to accommodate higher spring rates. But my experience with bc isnt great but possibly with helper springs and properly valved they might be pretty good

Yeah, I like Matt and Alex but I just want a completely unbiased review (and I'm unqualified to do one even if I bought them.)

Rockstar is recommending the Hipermax 4 in this price range so that's the same comparison I'm doing.

If you're looking to spend this kind of money on coilovers for a track car, the HKS is the no-brainer choice. I wouldn't buy a BC product at $1000, let alone $1600.

No dyno sheet to prove the valving behind them. sounds like marketing gimmick BS. Get the HKS or spend a little more on Ohlin DFV.

I Ohlins

Out of the box. HKS faster lap times/ohlins not at as fast but definitely smoother ride

BC doesn't make a very good product IMO, I can't see Ballade doing anything to them to make them better, money is better spent on other products IMO.
