Finally got a set of coilovers and do they make a difference! After reviewing many coilovers and comparing prices I ended up with BC Racing's BR series. The coilovers are amazing and with a great price.

There is nothing to complain about with these coilovers. The install very easy compared to installing springs, it was pretty straight forward and i had no issues. The ride quality is really comfortable with 30 levels of adjustment, I currently have them at 16 in the front and 18 in the rear. With those settings my ride is just as comfortable as stock but handles turns alot better.

Also for those who like to ride slammed, you have no worries there is a large room for lower with the BC coilovers.

The extended damping adjuster are a great plus too. It allows me to adjust the rear damping without removing the trunk lining :thumb:

If you are riding on BC Coilovers feel free to express your opinions, it would be greatly appreciated

you could say that about all coilovers then. Majority of coilovers are the same design with alil change here and there. When i did my research the BC Racing BR have all the features of the skunk 2 pro c, but was alot cheaper and that is why i decided to go with BC. The one thing i was worried about was the quality of the coilovers, but as i mention i am really satisfied with them.

They are not difficult at all, just alil elbow grease and a ruler lol

I have not seen you but I think I know where that pic has been taken.
i actually saw your car in my apartment complex a few weeks back, didn't want to seem like a stalker

Your stance looks really good with the factory wheels pushed out. Any weird noises out of the BC kit? I have heard that some kits make a lot of noise.
Nope no noise what so ever expect for my camber arms, i just need to grease the right one :thumb:

IMO if those extendo-knob thingys didnt come with them then you wasted money on them, I can adjust my damping force in the back with my Pro-Cs, the left side is OK and easy, but even with the subwoofer box bolted down to the chassis preventing me from even thinking about pulling it back, and even then with a little bending of the arm I can get a hand behind it and twist the knobs with ease

*SIGH*

adjustments are made all the same way, whether its my Pro-Cs (which I only paid 200 more than his BCs for BTW), his BCs, Buddy Club, Tein, you name it, you twist the top of the damper shaft, with or without the knob piece in place, I have the two pop on knobs for the rears in a bag in my room, theyre not needed and they just get in the way while mounted on the damper, the only ones that would adjust differntly are inverted monotubes and there isnt a kit out ther with those in the rear of our cars, the mounting method pretty much prohibits it, in the end with the trunk liner fully in place and a subwoofer box bolted in my way I can, and thus so probably can you, adjust the damping force in no time, just reach above, send your hand in and reach down, lay hands on the knob, turn, and start counting clicks

@ OP. I have the same set of coilovers just installed last saturday. It's perfect as far as the drop goes and quality, but there seems to be a noise that is coming from the back end of the car everytime I make a sharp turn, or going up and down a ramp. I guess when weight shifts around at the back wheels, it makes a noise that sounds like the springs are rubbing or something... Have an idea?
