Horribly I would assume. You need travel for rally which is not something they have a lot of. You also need springs that are properly matched for the course. I just don't see it being a good idea.

yeah, there is no way they would work for rally, at least not with the stock valving and spring rates.

I used them for street and AX and they do quite well. Even for TSD rallies though, they are a bit stiff and short traveled when you hit the non maintained seasonal roads in the off season. I wouldn't really recommend it.

"yes you can rally-x them" There is a discussion in that thread about how little travel they have and how ill-suited they would be for rally |

Thread could just as easily read, "Asics Wrestilng Shoes for Mountain Climbing?"
Or, "Hyundai Sonata for NASCAR Time Trials?" "Foot Doctor for Dentistry?" "Apples for Cherry Cobbler?" "Crystal Meth for Kid's Birthday Cake Icing?" "Hatian Prostitutes for Unprotected Threesome?" Dude, coilovers are for the tarmac, and very few are forgiving enough for the street, let alone the rigors of rally. The BCs are an excellent street coilover, but would be like driving a GoKart up Pike's Peak if asked to rally. Bye-bye suspension, rims, frame, and likely body panels. SOTC |
