May do it: BC Coils on the X
Thinking about taking the plunge and going w/ coils as my front gap is irking me. Anything I should know about these before the purchase? For those w/ BC coils, what setting do you have them on? I dont want to be too stiff and looking for a 1/2 finger gap all around. Have the rear camber kit, but may wait on the front as natural camber is gtg once spacers are on.
Thanks!

torn between swapping out my front sedan s-techs for coupe versions or getting these. I know the rear shocks will eventually go, but those are cheaper to replace. How easy is it to adjust the coils (height/damping)?
damping easy in the front. If you have the premium package with the reclining seats easy in the rear. Height wise. I am pretty good at adjusting but if you are going to do it, give yourself about an hour.
You can buy the extension for the rears, i had them since i don't have have premium, so it was a good choice to get them since they don't recline.

My buddy just bout some bc's for his coupe and they came with the extension. Don't think he asked for them.
U should definetly go coils because of the height adjustability and dampening.

Ive never had springs before on any car, and everyone said your going to regret getting springs to i went big and got the coils, and front and rear camber kits.
Gotta say i like em, nice to adjust hieght and dampering, ride is NOT bad like people say coil are, i actually like it better than stock. I had my fronts maxed out, subframe was about 1-1.5 inch off the ground and my aftermarket a-arms kept cluncking over EVERY SINGLE bump, so i highered the front about 1/4-1/2 inch and no more clunking.
Also car handles like a dam slot car, on point.
I say if youve got the money, go for it. Also check out circuit motorsports, got mine from there, great price WITH rear extenders included, chipped out the day i ordered and got them in 3 days

Man you can't even install spacers and get us pics. How the hell are you going to get coils installed? 
I noticed you deleted your other thread.

I'm an old fart and have mine set on the softest. Only problem I had was they sent me the wrong camber kits and unfortunately I work out of the country and didn't have time to take them off and get them fixed. I drove to California and back from Salt Lake City during my 3 week vacation to the states. They told me when they aligned the rear that they were a little off. They couldn't put the camber kit on the front because it was the wrong connection for the arm. I went back out of the country and returned. Went to polish my rims on the rear and holy heck, the rear tires were totally bald after running them for about 2,000 miles. Long story short, I got the right kit sent out and now all is well, except for the $1,000 hole in my pocket for new Falkens and redoing the camber kits.
