BC's came in last week and I'm super stoked!!!

With some odd and unknown reason most Peugeot coilovers don't come with upper spring perch (spring seat) or camber plates regardless of brand.

306 rear shock mounting bolts are 12mm and 405's are 16mm so I'm gonna need to replace bushings or press out 12mm sleeves,drill out existing bushings and press in 16mm replacment sleeves.

I end up ordering front spring perch from BC that fits my Genesis and multiple other vehicles and I'm gonna reuse my existing camber plates. Hopefully all works out okay.

These coilovers are priced as other BR type coilovers just like ones for my Genesis and DSM,they all are $995 but these do not use rear springs,adjustment nuts,spring seats or camber plates and yet again prices are the same.

I agree Goce this looks way better then bright yellow.

Upper spring seats arrived and they are just about perfect fit. Center hole is 12mm and Peugeot shock shaft is 14mm so I just need to open it up for 2mm's and I got plenty of metal to spare after I drill the centet out.Later on I found out It's exactly same pice that's used for 14mm shock bodys and BC gets it done the same way I'll do it tomorrow.

Unfortunately I won't be able to use retaining nuts as threads are 12mm,however I do have a new set of 14mm's somewhere in my garage.
