BC Racing vs Tanabe COs
I had originally planned on getting the Tanabe Sustec Pro CO's after reading Q8y_drifters review of them, however I just found out about the BC Racing CO's and they are similarly priced. I tried searching for more information about the BC Racing CO's but it seems like not a lot of members have these installed. Anyone have any information/experience with these CO's?

I've had BC Racing COs on my O8 G35s Sedan for about 2 months. There should be a pic of my ride somewhere on here but its from when I had my eibachs. The BCs have a very good ride quality (once set up properly). They have a 30-way damper adjustment. Mines are set right in the middle and they ride great. I had issues once the springs settled....my car was way too low (wheels tucked) and the ride was kind of bouncy. Once I had it raised (to about a 1 finger gap or maybe a little less) they ride a lot better. I haven't messed with the damper adjustment all that much because once my ride was set up it felt cool so I just left it alone:-). Oh yeah, if you want to use the rear damper adjustment you're going to have to drill a hole through the trunk area to get to it. BCs come shipped with adjustment extenders for the rear.
And here's the bad part. I looks like BC didn't do a test fit for rear of the O7+ Sedans. I barely have a half finger gap in the rear and my height adjustment is at it's maxium (can't get anymore out of it).
Hope this helps

Is this comfirmed by BC themselves? Seems like a bad business decisions If they don't advertise this...
As far as bouncing goes, well that's why they offer custom spring rates.
And techincally, doesn't the car bounce when the springs are too stiff for the shocks to handle?
