great thread! thanks for the info glex and all you other guys.
im looking at bc type br for my g37 and was debating spring rates. my main goal is to get rid of my body roll at the track while not killing myself on the street since i drive 20k miles/year. i think ive decided that 14/12 is the way to go since i can always swap springs cheaper than revalving if i want to go softer.
-waits for dre's body roll jokes-

FYI, with the BC 10/8k springs. I commented on how the 10/8 feels stiff and uncomfortable being on 20 clicks from soft.
Anyway, after finally installing my trunk dampening extenders, I decide to try 10 clicks from soft on all four....I tell ya, the comfort is almost like OEM again but still sense the increase in firmness. I wouldn't recommend having this setting on really aggressive wheels and low ride heights though.
Basically, I'm beginning to be one of those satisfied BC coils owner.

^ on the extenders, it's just a rubber tube that goes over the dampening **** correct? If so i think i'm gonna go to home depot to find one that fits snug over the ****, then drill a hole into my trunk so that i can adjust the rears without talking out the rear strut.
So far I like it. It's been raining the past 2 days so i haven't really push it. It's not a bad coilover for the price. Not sure how easy it is to adjust the height on other coilovers but you get a pretty good workout when you adjust these.

and yeah, adjusting the height is a pain. I usually end up loosening the bracket for the brake line and abs sensor wires for the front, and practically unbolt and rebolt the bucket arm for the rear.
