sup guys i just got mine installed yesterday. i'm surprised the rears were that low out of the box - about a finger high. reading all the comments here some people actually want it lower? the fronts are about 2 fingers high right now but i'll wait til everything settles before i make that adjustment. will post pics later.

Overnight from Japan!
"The parts will run you $290 as mentioned plus shipping. I do want to be sure you are aware these are not the entire corners just the cartridges, springs and some thinner rings. You will need to take apart the coils, its not very difficult but I just wanted to be sure you are OK with that.
If so please provide me a shipping address so that I can send you the quote.
The parts would be making their way straight to you from our overseas office so you would have them with in 2 wks from the time of payment.
Thanks"
Will post pics once everything arrives.

I just installed the BC coilovers. They have been a good investment. They replace the stock springs and the s**t Koni yellows. Koni yellows SUCK. Three of the four Koni yellows that I bought blew out within 20K miles.
So instead of using the s**t "lifetime" warranty, I went with the BC coilovers. At first, the fronts were set at Hardest minus 8/30 clicks (there are 30 clicks from hardest to softest). It was tight as hell, but not suitable for daily driving. Too many lumps and bumps were felt inside the cabin.
I adjusted them to halfway (15/30), and it was better, but still pretty bouncy over everything. So now I have it at softest (30/30). This is better for street driving. It goes over pavement cracks and speed bumps sort of like the stock springs and the Konis (when they were working). The bad part is that the struts up front don't take potholes very well. The suspension drops with the pothole and the strut feels like it doesn't catch up to the wheel dropping so it really clunks when it hits bottom. This is while it is 18 degrees outside and going 35 mph. Still, I like the ride much better for daily driving, and I know where to put them for autocross this season.

There are no numbers on the knobs so the 1 - 30 could go either way. They were on the softest possible - either 30 or 1, whichever you like - and they were OK. However, last night I switched them to 10 from the bottom (30) so either 10 or 20 depending on how you look at the numbering. This setting feels perfect for daily driving with many potholes. Again, recommended.
