      ok got the BC coilovers yesterday. Installed today. Took me around 6 hours to get it all off/go shops/eat/install and correct damper/camber. COuld of done it quicker but wanted to make sure it was all good.

        ok onto the important stuff.

        the coilovers are certainly lighter than the stock/eibachs.

        BC done a great job on the manufacturing process, they are sturdy and designed with great precision with the bolt holes and threads.

        With camber adjusment at the front, i set up approx 1.0% for now untill i get a alignment done. One finger gap as well for better looks and also keeping general ride handling in mind. Didn't want to go too low, cant remember what i set the fronts damper level, will check 2moro.

        The backs i set from softest level 10, its pretty spot on. ITs like stock with a tad firmness. no floating or jumpy. no more body roll and goes like its on rails.

        the only problem is the back coils are making noise as you go up a driveway the rubber boot is rubbing on the spring. making a creeking sound. im hoping it would go away eventually if not might need WD40

        all in all for the 20 mins i drove it it was pretty sweet. im happy with them for now and ill let you guys know with some more time at the twisties

                            Howcome? because its not as strong?

                            I wouldn't think it would make that much of a difference

                              WOW, looking good.
                              What are the coils like?
                              hows the ride?
                              will you drop it more?

                              Im feeling the same, my Skunk2 springs are great but they ere only a temp solution to drop it. coils will be soon so i wanna know what you think of yours?

                              looking sooo good.

                                Was never a fan of coils because i had lowered springs and thought it done the job. But, i was wrong. The coils i got are decent, read the reviews and everyone was giving good feedback.
                                The ride is a tad bumpy/bouncy but i havent played with the damper settings as much yet. handling is way better, you have more control and it has no bodyroll now. very impressed
                                And yes i will get it dropped more on the front only around 1cm
