Bc Coils and Sprint Swift no longer offered less.than 10k?

See attached, BC informed me I cannot purchase NSX DS coilovers with 8k/6k swift springs. Is there a vendor on here selling them?

*Edit changed sprint to Swift because apparently I still live in the late 90s for modding cars. Sigh.

Normally, you buy a "Swift spring upgrade" from a vendor- they remove the BC springs and install the Swifts.

Yes the screenshot specifically asks for the swift springs and BC said it's not an option to go 8/6 as it is softer than the recommended 10/10.

Updated my original post / title since I said sprint, I meant swift and the screenshot luckily also says swift.

Weird- they used to custom valve the shocks for different spring rates.

Yep, confirming with springrates.com now

Hilariously, BC says going 8/6 voids the warranty. Attached, was this your experience as well?

That's nuts. I went through BC North America directly (worked with Sam) and they made sure to put the re-valving instructions for 10/8 in my order (for the BR system back in 2012).

I know about to call them. Weird.

Update noone answered my 10 calls today, so that's fun. Another vendor sent me the attached. This is absolutely wild. What is BC even doing there?

BC RACING customer service.....yikes.

That's shocking. Maybe it's time for Fortune Auto?

that's too bad. I just posted in your fb thread my build card and I have my warranty card from them. a year ago they built 8/6 with swifts and warranty for me.

I will say that as I look for budget options for my older porsche a lot of places aren't offering anything but off the shelf coilovers. BC/Fortune and a few others won't customize or revalve. I am now looking at FEALS because they essentially offer swift custom rates for about $2k. BC may just be getting out of the NSX biz all together.

I may have to hit them up, they are similarly priced.
