Sorry OP, I'm going to hijack your thread real quick...

To XxGoKoUxX: Did you get the swift spring upgrade? if so, which spring rates did you get? and what are your dampers set at?

How is your ride with AWD and the coilovers?

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.
