BC's getting bad rep?

Saved enough money to get money for the bc coils but one of the vendors gave me this. Any thoughts?

Also what are the spring rates and adjustability on them?
Thanks !

Hey Andy
Cost is $(edited out.) shipped but FYI we have had serious complaints with BC Racing lately. There quality has dropped dramatically as they are trying to definitely cut corners. I recommend the Megan, D2 or Ksports by far over the BC.

My thoughts are they don't make as much money on the BC's thus do not recommend them. Seriously, Megan racing?? No thank you.

yeah i thought megans were on the lower end just like the teins street basis. The K sport looks promising, around the same price as the bc's any thoughts on them? but not sure if I want to get true coilover style. I've been looking for reviews all over the forums and most people are saying to get bc's so I'm a bit stumped on what I need to get now.

Never trust words of a sales person. Do your own research and get what is going to meet your needs. BC is very popular with g's. Many of us run them and like them. Trust your own judgement.

never thought of it like that ^^ guess I would just take everyone's word easily.. BC's it is! do you recommend the 12/10 or 10/8? also I heard there are different spring sizes like 230,255, etc. not sure what to choose from that..

I'm still a believer in BC as I've run them since I started running coilovers back in the early 00's. However, I will say, on our platform, I didn't like them. I kept getting a knock in my rear and it wouldn't go away. I adjusted, re-adjusted, swapped sides, and it was still there. I ended up going with D2's and have been running those, with no issues, for just over 4.5 years now. But, on other platforms, I've still recommended and installed them and people still like them.

I decided to go with the bcs 10/8 had them on for about a week now. No issues so far, and ride quality is amazing.
Will keep them updated!
