apparently you DID search and failed to come up on the same results i came up on, so your statement doesn't make any sense

Rough crowd on the forums today! At this point, im just gonna go ahead and answer the man's questions:

Pros: great construction, good price, decent ride, wide range of adjustability
cons: none that i can think of at this point.

Installed at approx 45K....currently at 70K. Ride was rougher in the winter because fluid freezes, but adjustability helped with this. Product held up very well in the Chicago snow/salt.

On a 32-way adjustability scale i have my fronts set at 5 clicks from soft and rears 8 clicks from soft.

I ordered these from Circuit motorsports on the intial group buy.

Good luck with your decision!

Better to just answer the question so next person to search wouldn't end up reading 10 threads about searching. Instead they would all have different or similar answers. Am I right? That's the way I look at it.

^True lol

Anywho, i have them they are amazing, no cons that i could think of. I got them installed at 47k and now im at 57k.

Still works like it just came out the box. I have the front set at 32 clicks from soft and the rear at 25 clicks from soft. My car actually turns faster than an evo or sti(those 90 degree turns)

My spring rate is 10k front and 8k rear.

These are the coilovers to get if you want to go low and have a soft ride at the same time. For the track mehh...im sure there are better for the track out there. Only thing is that we are only limited to one choice of coilovers lol so what can you do.

Oh by the way make sure you get the rear extenders, will save you a lot of trouble for when you want to adjust it.

I've only drove on mines for 6k miles if that. But i loved them every single day i had them on.

I was one of the orginal group buy guys as well. I dont think there are too many AWD coilover guys around.

I didn't run them in the winter because in the past i've had megan racing and friends had K-sports that blew out in the winter. One cold morning going out to the garage and seeing all the coilover fluid on your floor is not a nice feeling.

rebuilds for ksport ran like $600 per kit. I didn't want to bother. BC has a diffrent design i guess. Bolt-on replacement prices at $150 each or so.


Only problem i have with coilovers is... you always want to go MORE LOW...

The fluid in the struts didn't freeze, I can guarantee that. Your ride might have been rougher, but it wasn't from anything freezing in the coilover.

Maybe we comment because we're tired of lazy people like you who don't bother to do any of their own work. When you ask a question that's easily found in several other threads, you're gonna get hammered for not searching. Stop being lazy or get used to it, and you've been here long enough to know better.

OK, maybe "freeze" wasn't the right word. What i meant was the colder temps thicken the oil and slow the flow...translating into a rougher ride.

The thing is, I did search and did not find the answers I was looking for. Its not for you to judge if im lazy or not.
And I also want some updates from people who has BC coilovers.
