put a good amount of miles on my new BC coils 10k front and rear w/ 8 clicks from soft and love them! very comfortable for daily driving... I even stiffened the front recently just to see how it'll react

but so far, love these coils! I had kw before and those were a little too harsh for me. and I also didn't like the fact that I had to change spring preload whenever I want to adjust height... with the BC, spring tension and height adjust-ability are separate

Yes you should be able to do stock ride height if needed easily. Didnt have the energy to do the install after work but its jacked up with wheels off and ready to have the old out and new in.

Its been about 200+ miles so far since they have been on but need an alignment ASAP. Regardless I am MUCH happier than I thought I would be with coilovers considering how uncomfortable my ride was on coils in my previous car. Absorbs bumps well though I am sure I can make it even more comfortable as I have not really messed with the adjustment knobs. For now still trying to dial in the height right. I am having a problem getting the car as low as I want it to be. Those of you that run these any pics of how low you can run them? I am on Work S1s in 18 and still have a good two finger gap and have barely any room left at the base of the damper to bring it down yet see toekneeg has it flush?! How so! Any input?

Will be receiving these coilovers this week Can't wait. Hopefully I can get a nice low ride height too and not have any issues like the last member is having?

I messed with it a few more times since that day I wrote the post and was able to turn up with what I have now after an alignment. Stance is great for my needs. I dont want to go any lower since I daily the car and need to clear lots of different terrain throughout the day. Good luck with your install! You will love them! Night and day difference! Sorry for crappy quality from phone camera!
