So I've been on them for nearly a month, and I didn't really want to review them until I redid the rear suspension, to include PCI Spherical RTA bushings, camber adjusters, and spherical toe links. And I must say, they really are great on the street once the rest of the suspension is up to par. I'll be coming out with another video to show what I've done on the rear of the car as well as review the suspension. They really do ride well though. They aren't Fortune Auto's, but they also aren't bouncy, the adjusters actually do something. I am now 6 clicks from full hard on all four corners. Have not tried the hardest setting. Car rotates very well. I would like to see the rear springs at 6k instead of 5k as they were shipped with, but it isn't bouncy or under sprung by any means, and these aren't advertised as competition type coil overs to race on, but with the other modifications I have on the car, it really feels like its on rails. I'm curious to see how it does once I turn the power up. Overall, they will work great for a daily driver.

I did eventually swap them out for Progress CS2’s because the suspension better matched the Valving of the CS2’s. However these went onto an EF hatch and are doing great. As long as you don’t slam it to death, they work great for the price.
Can the coilovers go lower than what you had it. I have the maxpeedingrod ones and am bottomed out in front and still have a 2 finger gap. Wanting to see if these bfo coilovers can go lower than what I have.
Yes, they will at least go another 1.5" lower, possibly closer to 2". And that is without messing with the spring preload. They will definitely go lower than the Maxspeedingrods will go.
Thank you for the review I was looking everywhere, my car is Toyota GT86 and someone offered me a set of BFO coilovers, I only have one question, does it handle better than the stock one?
Yes, they do handle better than stock. There are better handling coilovers out there but not at this price point. Even the ones in the $5-600 range don’t outperform these.
It isn’t horrible. Not sure what the spring rates are for the Cobalt but for the price, they are far superior to the old style coil over sleeves and a lot less bouncy
Appreciate the review. I can't find much about the company but it seems to have a positive reception so far. would you mind measuring the thread pitch? idk if it will match spec for the kit I'm considering but I'd like to try these with air bellows on an LS400. Thanks for any knowledge and advise you can share
Again, I sort of wish they had 6k springs on the back but that is just nitpicking. They ride surprisingly well and will go much lower than what I have them. Overall, they are probably the best budget coil over I’ve had on a Civic/CRX
Yes, I could lower it probably an inch and half more without touching the spring preload. But for this car/wheel tire combo, I would have to roll the fenders. But yes, it will go significantly lower.
They settled a bit in the back. Again, I think they should have come with a minimum 6k spring in the rear but overall they have performed well. Especially with the other modifications I have made to the car.

Looking forward for your review video on them, keep on with that good content!
@@dragracingmexico2695 As soon as I'm back from a business trip, it's coming. So far they are pretty good.
@@classicautomotivenc can we get a one year update? i was thinking about getting a set
They look awesome for 200$+-. I just got a civic ef hatchback and the suspension is shot. Nice to see that they look as good as in the pictures.
They do, I plan to do some driving in the car over the weekend, so I should have more info soon.
You have me as a sub. Since I'm starting this new journey with my ef

How is the ride ? Wanting to get these for my Ek coupe but wasn’t sure if it’s worth it over saving a couple more hundred for truharts?
Looking forward to your follow up video, was wondering if they would be good for daily driving
See my comment
Year later how are they? Did they go?
I did eventually swap them out for Progress CS2’s because the suspension better matched the Valving of the CS2’s. However these went onto an EF hatch and are doing great. As long as you don’t slam it to death, they work great for the price.

Sweet thank you. That was the answer I was looking for.
subed, great content, thank you

Did you get it for ur 86?
looks good Man..
Just ordered these for my 09 cobalt ss turbo. How’s the ride feel with these?

What is BFO?
does any size spanner wrench work on these coilovers? bought a civic with them but no wrench.
The spanner wrenches are the same as the Maxspeedingrods coils
how are you liking them?
