I'm not sponsored by any suspension brands and not trying to sway you one way or another. The best thing to do is ask locals about their coilovers. People you know are honest and at least have a little idea of what they're talking about. #2's been on his BC's for at least a year now without issues. My last set of BC's on my Protege were on 3 different Protege's without any issues. No issues with my current BC's even though they are only a few months old.
I agree, we're at least honest. I've put about 40,000 miles on my BC coilovers now and I haven't had any issues.
