Default Coilover opinion!

I will be putting in a order next month on coilovers, but before I put in an order I was seeing which opinion on coilovers would you suggest out of BC & Stance and why? If n? either what else would you suggest? Thanks for the help! Appreciate it a lot for the time to explain and all. I wanna be static at the time being for now and maybe bags later down the road depending on how I like it.

BC Extreme Drop kit and custom spring rates for 1k can't really be beat. Most places I know will do all that for 1,000. Stance are great coilovers, don't get me wrong, but for all the custom rates you can do with BC's usually at no extra cost, they can't be beat. I've yet to hear anything bad about BC's. Stance will run you around 1300 new or so.

Both Stance and BC ride amazing. There are 0 complaints on both ends.

I just ordered BC's with custom spring rates (16/14) and the extreme drop kit for $995 shipped from CircuitMS and just YESTERDAY I get a newsletter email from them saying they're having a sale for $949 shipped! I hope they can retro-credit me the $50 instead of me having to cancel my order, then order again =/

Anyway I can't comment on how the BC's perform just yet but hopefully they're good... they seem to be the best bang for the buck....

^^ I have the exact same spring rates as you, and it rides pretty good for such a high spring rate, I have like 22 more clicks to soften.

I have the BC Extreme kit. 14/12 with the setting on 24 clicks up front and 25 clicks out back...rides good. I'm waiting on more parts before I really dial it in...car is sitting pretty low right now. Might go half inch lower soon.

I prefer the BC kits over Stance, they are the best bang for your buck IMO.

We can do custom kits as the other guys have said here, so if you're lookign for stiffer kit, lower, softer etc. we can tailor a kit for your specific needs.

Feel free to hit us up if you want some more info or help on a kit!

Can some of post up pics of your ride height ? It may vary from 18"-2x " wheel setups but It will help visually.
Springs rates/settings will also be helpful. TIA
