PLENTY of folks have the BC's and they like them. I mean PLENTY. BC, D2, and Stance are the top 3 in our community. I'm not saying they're not shitty. I'm just saying plenty of people have them, so take that as you will.

Are you trying to get low or are you building a track car. For a track car, do like a KW or Tien or something. Otherwise they won't let you on the track. For low's, BC, D2, Stance, Raceland, MDU will all work. I have friends that have even gotten CX Racing. I don't personally know ANYBODY with F&F. Doesn't mean anything. Just so you know.

look into ST suspensions. they're made by KW but tend to be a bit cheaper.

If all you want to do is get low, you've got a shitton of GOOD options. Like I stated, BC, D2, Stance, MDU...I've had BC. I didn't like them on this chassis, but I've had them on others and I still recommend them. I'm on D2 now. Been on D2 for a few years. I drift and drive low and have had NO issues. No bumps, no creaks, no odd noises. Just good riding fun time.

If you want to sacrifice ride quality to look cool, might as well cut your springs.

When you say "sacrifice", do you mean same as stock because dampening? Cuz it's just metal pieces. Not rocket science. but, this is driver, sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

No. Once you go to an extreme in regards to ride height, things just stop working the way they're supposed to.

Don't get me wrong, I had a slammed G once, too. But, I drove a G with Ohlins installed at a "proper" height and I was amazed of the difference in ride quality.

It was firm, but it didn't feel like the car was going to fall apart.

Even my custom valved Stance coilovers I had couldn't touch the way these ohlins felt.

I guess I haven't experienced that yet. I don't have any creaks or rattles. The only issue I have with being as low as I am is being as low as I am. My suspension isn't bone shattering stiff. I switch it up for track work, but my regular driving is as comfortably as one can expect riding a couple of inches off of the ground. Dips, bumps, road hazzards, etc are handled fairly easily and as long as I have clearance, I'm good. I don't bounce or shake.

I've had KW suspension on a car before and I've had Pedders on a car before. And honestly, neither of those feel different than what I'm in now. However that was YEARS ago when you were "slammed" if you were tucking a 45 series tire. I think tolerances, materials, overall quality, and just general knowledge has changed. This brand sux and that brand sux is Hyundai thinking. Like, yeah, they were horrible back in 2001, but you can't find any viable proof that they still suck 14+ years later. Not saying I would buy one, but you get the idea.

I haven't driven on high dollar suspension in the G so I have nothing to compare it to. But I also haven't had all of the issues that people say you're supposed to have with "shitty" suspension and I'm sure I use my car for more nonsesne than most owners.
