Bros abroad,

Yo. I am from Singapore and searching high and low for coilovers for Optra (Feronza). Does coilover for optra/feronza exist?

Thanks again! Cheers

Within 2months they should be available through BMS. I'm sure Chip (from bms) will comment more. I plan on dropped off my car with them June 17th.. Chip told me they should have the coil-overs by then, though if they dont I can probably pay extra to get them by then.

kyoyagami - I don't mean to change the topic, but are there shocks for our car in your part of the world? I am just asking becuase like you I have been looking for shocks and not coil covers.

I believe BMS is a brand for spring/coilover maker. How is the quality? Is it bumpy? HEard most of the coilovers are bumpy...true?

Hey Jurupa,

Correct me if i am wrong, but Shock=spring? I undestand suspension = Damper+spring. APEX spring fits superbly on optra! Lower by 2.5" rear and 2.1" front.

Shock as in the mancaincal part of the suspension, ie the part that asborbs the most. The spring is what goes onto the shocks.

Hello kyoyagami...welcome aboard! Glad to see of your interest in the coilover suspension for the Optra. As the replies here have stated, we (BMS) will be coming out with a coilover suspension kit made by KW sometime this summer. We're still nailing down the details, but will get there shortly. I'll keep you updated and I can assure you these are top quality coilovers. We'll likely be offering two different options. One basic coilover that is height adjustable only, and another which will be height, rebound, and compression adjustable. Feel free to drop me an email anytime at chip@b-moto.com. Updates soon...

-Chip

Theoritically, it was suppose to lower lke 1.5" as you mention. But i have a friend here who has changed. Practically, it lowered by 2.5" front and 2"rear. Just nice for a 205/45/R17.
