Coilovers

This is a question for anyone lowered on coilovers. I'm currently looking at bc racing and stance coilovers as well as camber arms. It would be great for some of you guys to give me some advice.

What coilover and camber arm combination are you lowered on currently? And what is a good budget set of camber arms?

How much for the install?

What is your current tire alignment? Or what you would recommend.

Well bc racing and Megan coilovers are the same, so I'm deciding if that extra 200 is worth it. Some shop owners have told me they were okay at most, but not outstanding.

I've considered TEIN basic before but they don't offer additional dampening. For the cost of them I can get BC or KW's.

They must be new then, but then again I haven't looked into their stuff for a while.

I'm on BC BR-type
- Currently have no camber/toe kits installed, they're just sitting in their boxes right now. With about 13k on the CO's, i see no uneven wear on the tires. I am dropped roughly the same as Eibach's, have slightly out of spec camber settings but toe is well within spec.

- A couple hours of my time. Install is much more straight-forward compared to a spring-only set-up as the fronts are already assembled, and the rears are as easy as they get.

since i have an X i am running BC coils

Search for my thread and there are some pix in there along with some information

currently running BC coils with SPC camber kit (front and rear)

I installed everything myself so i have no idea what installation would be, but plan to throw down about $1500+ for everything.

I also am not running crazy camber i believe my fronts are at like -.5 and rears are -1.5 but that's cause of weather and crappy roads

i plan on playing with the stance a little since winter is over so i ll let you know about the alignment.
