BCs are great for that price range. I have them and really like them. How low are you looking to go? I've heard great things about F&F and Stance coilovers too.

Ive thought about stance but that's going to be too much, plus I'll need camber kits?
It's my DD so I think BC is the best bang for the buck
Right now I have oem 18s and won't be buying new shoes for a while so I need it to be looking fresh/low as possible with the comfort of DD.

@CandlestickPark, I really like how your car sits and I think that's what I'm aiming for haha.

it's not, the cars aren't perfectly symmetrical. slight variations on each side equal different adjustment for the same height.

CandlestickPark, Real clean car!

i've been looking into coils too, and i was deciding between megans n BC since they're made from the same company. And my buddy just got megans on his GS300 and the ride is comfy. but now reading about how everyone going with BC i guess that's my choice also since idk much about this car yet

I'm running Ksport Kontrol Pro's. I got mine for about $800.

I have at least 2-3 more inches of drop before I bottom the coils out.

I forgot to check spring rates but I think they're 8/9k springs. It's not super hard but soft enough that it's great for daily driving. I'm very happy with them.

No camber kits on the car right now. Camber isn't that bad. Although I'm use to drift car camber.
