jre002's comment was: "I've had BC coilovers collecting dust unused for over 2 years waiting on a solution." well the solution is using the spacers as mentioned in this link below:

my understanding is that the spacer solution reduces a majority of the vibration issue. IF jre002 can live with the minimized vibration, then he can enjoy his car lowered with coilovers. But he's not going to know if he doesn't try it.
minimal vibrations may bug you, but it may not bug him. only jre002 can decide for himself whether to try the spacer solution or not. and if jre002 decides to try the spacers, only he can decide whether the reduced vibration is worth having coilovers installed (or not).
we can give advice and opinion; it's up to the individual what's best for him.

I could see myself trying but I would change back to stock if the result was vibration.
To me, doing it right means careful choices and proper fitment. How it looks is a personal choice. But function applies to all. Vibration is not proper functioning. I can't give advice that leads to improper functioning.
No offense but you advise your beliefs and I'll advise mine.

Hey guys,
I know myself and wobbling/vibrations are something I couldn't live with on this car. I wouldn't even try it. I've had several modified/lowered cars including an AWD turbo car that was heavily modified. Been there and done that with tinkering... At this stage in life, I just want things to work right or I won't mess with it. I'd rather drive stock or swap out to a RWD car. With the 4GS coming out, there's really no point in me switching to RWD.
