BC's with custom rates is the way to go. I went 14/10K over the stock set up and it rides fine.

Good to know

I take it it doesn't feel like you're riding on a rock lol? I used to have a beat up Mazda Protege and the suspension was pretty stiff, when i'd hit bumps and potholes it felt like death. As long as the BC's aren't worse than that i'm good ha ha

jdmSW20 you are not mistaken they both have the same spring rates but the set I was looking at was with Swift Springs so I have the choice to order custom spring rates.

So basically I just have to decide which is the best option for me, I think i might go with the BCR's with custom spring rates, knowing me I'm going to end up wanting to be slammed

they arent made by the same factory, too many small differences.

Learning new things everyday haha, a buddy of mine told me they were made in the same factory in taiwan I believe, aw well as long as they're still good quality like I heard I think the BC's with custom spring rates is gonna be my best choice

Thanks for sharing your knowledge,you seem pretty knowledgeable LS's
