I had my BC Racing BR Type Coilovers w/ Swift Springs installed today by Tommy over at MusicBox. There just happened to be four of us CL guys over there this morning at the same time, so it was like a mini meet, lol. I went with 16/12 spring rates and to start out with for dampening I went with -15 front and rear. I was talking with Caymandive for awhile about where to start off with dampening, but decided just to start out a tad softer than his recommended -10 front and rear. It will be trial and error so i know i will be stiffening them up a bit in the future. I have 1 and a half fingers front and rear and am not rubbing and did not shave/roll the fenders. I might go a tad lower in the future but wanted to wait for the springs to settle in first.

I didn't use the extenders so if anybody needs a set PM me.

The F looks great all around. Cool little mini meet at Tommy's. The guy always does great work, and so easy going. He, too, recommended me the BC's coils with the 16/12 rates. It is considerably stiffer than before?

I wouldn't say considerably stiffer, I have it set in the middle right now at -15 and it feels smoother than stock over the stutter bumps. The Swift springs really make for a noticeably smoother ride though. I will stiffen it up in a few weeks probably to -10 front -10 rear and see how that feels.
