Just wanted to know.... I heard on a few threads while searching for Zeal and BC. The subject came up that Zeals tend to squeek... what about the BC's? and does it get very annoying cause I have a camber kit that squeeks like crazy and I don't think I want to add to it.

Thanks in advance.

most suspension setups with pillow ball upper mounts squeek, so if they come with them, assume they do

 

Is it due to pollyurethane, if that's what there made of?

 

Mine don't.

 

Jason, how long have you've been riding on them?

 

Its been a few months, right...?

 

Yes, most suspensions will squeek......or make noise.

 

so is it the shock making the noise or the pillow mounts? trying to compare and research the Zeal B6 and BC's, but the issue with the constant squeek raises a different issue.

 

My Buddy Clubs do not make any noise. My old Tein HA's did make noise though, but the BC's are silent!

Thanks Dave @ R&D

 

Teels you something!

had mine for over 7 months, didn't "squeek" to me


but i could be wrong cause i'm a drunk bastard

 

are yall talking aobut the racing spec damper?

 

yes... racing spec damps

 

I've had mine for about 2 or 3 months and they don't squeak at all, on any setting.

 

Just about any type of suspension will squeek. It may differ will types of weather as well.

I normally lube up my polyrethane bushing after the rainning season in Florida. If I don't, oh man

 

 

pretty...

 

Very well said!

 

4 months or so, not daily driven though. Haven't heard any noises from the suspension. Then again, running a straight pipe doesn't allow for much hearing allowance.

 

to my knowledge, the Zeals will make noise.

 

Hmm, I think I know why my BCRS's don't make noise. Mine are for an EK and they don't have that urethane bushing at the lower mounting point:



Try to ignore the shock tower bar in there -- I just put that in the pic to add to the JDM bling factor. But on the very left you can see the EK set of Buddy Clubs, while the right-most set is for a DC2-R. I'm not sure how the EK ones are supposed to pivot though since I tightened those lower bolts down pretty good *shrug* I'm confident that the other set that Dave is supposed to send me (hint hint!) doesn't squeak either

you have one set too many, let me take one off your hands.
