I'd take the BC. I haven't owned the BC but I've driven in one and I liked them. I used to have F&F Type II's and they were nice to get super low, frame nearly on the ground and I had room to lower more.

I did have a couple issues with it though. One being that the hole for the rear struts where the bolt goes needed to be made bigger. Not really a big deal.

They were an upgrade from my Tein Basics because they had dampening adjustability. After owning another 3 sets of coilovers after the F&F's, I realized how rebound and dampening was not all that great. Too much bounce for me on bumpy roads. Flat surface to minimal bumps, no biggy.

I liked them, but I'd take the BC's over them if I had a choice.

Some BC feedback...I had some clunks on my BC's but fixed it by adding some rubber gaskets on the top mounts. I have my dampening set at 10 clicks from soft since I don't plan on tracking the car, and it's as comfortable as OEM. I'm not super slammed either, but just low enough to have no fender/tire gap. With that said, I'd like 'em...alot

How would the f&f compare to your stances??

They don't lol. The Stance coilovers are #3 on my list that I've owned (Impul Ohlins, HKS Hypermax III non-sport, Stance GR+, F&F Type II, Tein Basic). Not as smooth for ride quality as the HKS Hypermax III non-sport but very comfy. I have it on full stiff and the rears having stiffer spring rates than what they come with.

Much less rebound and they look more solid too.

Dunno bout stance > bc. I liked the BC. I like Stance. Just never owned the BC. Took a ride in it once. Didn't seem too rough but the stance seemed to be a lil softer. Then again the BC was on a coupe, not sure if that would make any difference. I wasn't driving it so that does have some effect on it IMO.

I'm guessing they should last a while. Do you not like the BC's? Need more room to go lower or somethin?

I have the Stance GR+ and I think they're great. The rubber dust boots managed to tear a little prematurely but that was thanks to bottoming out on DFW roads. However, after a lot of tweaking and adjusting preload and dampening, these wound up being a good set of coils. I have the fronts set at 10 with 16 being the most stiff and the rears are all the way at 16 since im still running an OEM setup.

My friend had BC on his coupe and they were good too but they were noisy after about 10k miles. lots of sqeaks

Stance are rebuildable too
