Default BC Racing Coilovers

So I sent a email to BC Racing Yesterday asking about some coilovers for our cars and this was their response
'Hi Danh,

Unfortunately, I do not have indication that there will be development of a kit for the 2013 ES. Under normal circumstances, R&D has to see a large enough amount of interest to justify development of a coilover set up. If you are a member of a forum, and can provide an example of the amount of members interested in a kit for their vehicle, please shoot that my way and I will present it for review.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you.

Regards,
Kerry "

why would you want worse dampening than stock? At least use some quality coilovers like Ohlins.

Coilovers would probably be out of my budget and kind of a waste on a lease but I wouldn't mind a very minor drop with lowering springs,

I'm talking about ride quality, why ruin one of the best reasons you bought a Lexus (ride comfort)? I'm suggesting a higher end coilover that will get you the desired lowered height with the ride comfort equal or better than stock.

I would be interested. The only thing keeping me from custom wheels is the ride height. If I can’t minimize the gap I will keep the stock wheels and tires for as long as I own the car.

That is for a set of 4 BR's? Then probably yes.... *assuming it will not void any factory warranty.

I assume I need to route out the top mounts, for the camber adjustments plates.

I'd like to see some install instructions but that's not bad for coil over struts.
