OHH, sorry. when we say BCR, we mean BC Racing coilovers.
From a bit of research, I was told BCR's have bigger better pistons than the Megans.... although I never had them sitting in front of me so I have no room to say or judge.
Either way, I'm using BCR now and it's smoother than stock IMO. My jaw dropped yesterday after readjustment because running over bumps made almost NO noise at all anymore.
Also please note, I'm riding on UAS Air bags vs the typical springs, but as above, someone's stated they ride on BCR coilovers too and very comfortable ride
.
Installation shouldn't be much, someone with just plain BCR's should chime in..... You can actually DIY it as it isn't very hard at all. People on here have done it plenty of times.

I'm running bc racing coils with these spring rates 10 front 12 rear..as far as clicks..im running softer in the rear than the front. Not sure on the exact numbers. I adjusted multiple times to fit my needs. So many unexpecting bumps in nyc, cant hit them while being too low and soft (on clicks) and bottoming out often..

Well im pretty damn low for nyc, 1 finger gap in front and almost no gap in rear, with low profile tires, so for me worse mostly because of the low profile tires.. When i had stock wheels on, i would say it was just as smooth as stock. I wouldn't say better..but almost equal which is damn good for a lowered car..

So after so many people saying BC rides almost like stock, I went out to adjust the damper and realize I've been turning right which is stiff instead of left. Now that I adjusted them they do almost ride like stock. I am at 20 clicks towards soft in the back and 17 clicks towards soft In front, boy do I feel dumb pays to read lol. Here is where I am currently sitting at
