Yeah its the trade-off for going low with an AWD IS.. If you go low, you'll have issues with vibrations. Not sure if the issue regarding the CV boots ripping is related to the vibration, but as far as I can tell, those are the only issues.

Here's a link:

They've been in business for about 8 years. Keep in mind that you may get quoted a very long lead time (in my case is was 9 to 10 weeks after payment is made). The previous set I ordered took 3 1/2 months to build and ship, but they have since moved to a facility that is double the size of their previous location.

A couple of the vendors here have them for $1k. CircuitMS includes free damper adjustment extenders for the rear suspension (so you can tweak damper settings without removing the trunk liner), and IAPdirect gives you a $75 gift card for their store.

They are also pretty good about matching/beating advertised pricing from other online vendors.

Do you understand how coils work? You do realize that ride height is fully adjustable and that you'll have to determine yourself not only how much you want it, but you'll need to tweak/adjust along the way?

I got my coilovers from Kris at GoToRacing, a vendor of CL here. I told him what spring rates I wanted and that I wanted the rear extenders. He got me a deal and has been a pleasure to deal with; so much so that I've came back with other purchases.

I'd recommend the BC coilovers for anything around n$1k, they are the best bang for the buck IMO.

We are a vendor on here and on of BC Racing largest USA dealers, shoot us a message and we can help you out

I would do BC 12/10. As far as I know, Swift springs are stiffer, which means you'll feel more of the road. They're used a lot when people wanna slam their cars but don't want to bottom out.
