BC Coilovers on an X
I just installed these today. I got them from JM Auto and they provided excellent customer service. I was crazy busy with UFC 128 and they were able to process my info while I was at the airport waiting to catch my flight to Jersey.
I went with the 12/8 230 set up. To be honest I was I little worried that the ride would be too harsh running the 12's, but it's not harsh at all. I have the set to 10 clicks from soft up front and 14 in the back and it seems about like stock.
My first impression is the car looks much better, but I haven't noticed much of a difference in handling. Maybe this will change after I drive it a little more, but I was expecting a little more performance gain like I've had with past vehicles.

I'll post a pic this afternoon, but I only have after pics. I can say after driving it for a few days now that it was definitely worth the money. The dampers work great and it looks amazing. I dropped it 1.5 inches all the way around.
Actually I'm from Colorado. I flew to Jersey for the UFC. Difinitly no loss in ride quality, on the softest setting it is smoother then stock and on the stiffest setting it's crazy harsh. I have it set to 10 clicks from soft on the front and 12 clicks from soft on the rear and it's perfect for daily driving.

Nice, I cant wait to order mine and install them....Can I ask where you go them from and how much? Also are you running any camber kits??
I got them from JMAuto. They have a group buy in the vendor section. I paid just over $900 with shipping and insurance. I don't have a camber kit yet, but I will as soon as I find rims and fix the scratches on my trunk (debadge gone wrong).
Yeah thats where I am ordering mine from this week...your still aligned okay? Im nervous about drivvn without camber kits...spc look like the best from wha ive seen.. cant wait to see te pics!
Haven't done an alignment yet ( waiting for them to settle), but with only 1.5 inch drop camber shouldn't be an issue. When I buy rims I'll drop it lower and definitely need a camber and toe kit then. Ask JM if they have a package I saw one somewhere on here for $1000 that included a camber kit.
I have RWD, but with a minimal drop and about 13k miles on the BC's, the tires are wearing evenly without a camber kit. Camber is a little out of spec, but toe is well within the parameters.
Sorry about not posting pictures. I'll get them up tomorrow.
